CONFIRMED Rhian Brewster

[Chabuddy G]

Buy with a first option for 'Pool?

No doubt. There's no way they'll sell him without something like that in place

 

[brownblade]

He’s probably right that a loan move has been blocked, as it’s still very uncertain Klopp actually wants to loan him out this season. To describe a willingness to buy him as a “game changer“ though. Seems. Somewhat. Comedic.

Yeah, agree, seems very unlikely.

Even more unlikely that Klopp has swiftly decided he'll never make it at Liverpool, and leaked the news in the space of a couple of days.

Only way I could see this being realistic is (a) Klopp genuinely doesn't want him, (b) they need to raise funds for e.g. Thiago (c) will insert a £30m buy back clause or similar.

 

[Chabuddy G]

I think they’re viewed completely differently in terms of their prospects for likely involvement in the future tbh. Selling Brewster seems even less likely than loaning him. Could be wrong, but buying Brewster seems one of the least likely rumours I’ve read all summer.

It's nuts. They rate him highly why would they sell him for £15mil?

Klopp hasn't blocked loaning either he just doesn't want to loan him out just yet

They rate him but the odd Carabao Cup game apart he's not going to get many minutes, (although he may do if Origi went). Sell him to us for £15m, insert a £25m buy back clause and that's good business.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I think Brewster would make a fantastic signing though. He has a lot of potential and has attributes we need (if Mousset continues to be erratic).
I'd much rather bring him in permanently if that is possible.

But, alas, I'm sure a rival will be alerted to our interest and gazump us financially. I think for attacking reinforcements we really will have to go overseas & take a gamble on a player nobody else is willing to.

They sold Dominic Solanke for £20mil, there's no way they'll let a lad they rate this highly go for £15mil

I suspect this might be an agents ploy to guarantee him minutes at Liverpool or get him sent out on loan. Nothing more

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Let’s be honest, Brewster isn’t getting anywhere near that Liverpool 11 for a good while yet. I’d be absolutely gob smacked if we do get him permanently (especially at that price), but it’s not completely outside of the realm of possibility!

 

[Beans]

I'd put this juuust behind how unlikely I thought it was that we'd sign Sander Berge.

So on that basis, welcome Rhian

 

[Yogi]

I’m not saying they’re the same in terms of ability or potential but a comparable situation might be the sale of solanke to Bournemouth. A highly rated youth international moved from Liverpool for an expensive but affordable fee within the prem so whilst unlikely like others have said not impossible

 

[brownblade]

IF we DID sign Brewster for approx £15mill, based on about x3 90mins, plus Quest highlights I've seen... I'd personally be very very excited! Potential future England striker!

Though as I think i mentioned in this thread already; one of my best mates is a big Liverpool fan that watches youth games and doesn't think Brewster is good enough for us. He said the same about Woodburn.
But I don't think my mate will have seen much of his Swansea loan.

 

[LondonBlade89]

That journo - I forget his name, but the one who's fairly new to covering us and is actually doing alright recently - said there was someone we were in for and Wilder was hoping to keep it very quiet. Wonder if it was this. Our interest in Brewster is known about, but I reckon we'd have liked to have kept the fact we were after signing him very quiet for obvious reasons.

Nathan Hemmingham- i think you're sort of right, i think they wouldve wanted the possible permanent signing quiet as we can easily get gazumped but to me a loan is more who the player wants to play for

 

[Blade56]

If true can’t see Burke coming as well. Cash for Robinson if wba want him

 

[Brownieblade]

Massive risk IMO hoping a kid can learn to step up whilst also playing regularly at same time

Not saying it can’t or won’t work but it’s massive

 

[Danetheblade]

Wouldn't be happy spending 15m on him. Much rather pay the extra and get Watkins who's done in for a few seasons down in the championship over someone who's done it for half a season.

That extra £10 mill could cost us by losing out on Matty Cash. Calculated gamble form Chris IMO

I don't think it's possible to keep signings quiet at this level. There's too much money involved & agents want to make sure their clients (& their own) pockets are well looked after.

At £15m there would be at least a handful of other Premier League clubs willing to take a risk on Brewster & it would become an auction.

The move for Brewster is only going to be a loan, even if we've tried for a permanent, I just can't see that happening. Liverpool value him highly and although one day he might leave like Solanke or Ibe did, they think he is a definite first team player, probably next season after a loan move now, and this summer if he leaves it'll be on loan only.

The reason they'll have blocked a loan move now is that they've said they want to take a look at him first this pre-season I seem to recall. But even on loan, I think signing Brewster wold be a great bit of business, I would imagine he'd be a certain starter for us.

Fear you’re right. But with a player like Brewster who’s at a top club already, you’d suspect he might decide to pick the best club/manager for him rather than chase the money. If it were true of course.

 

[Houso]

Odd as it sounds, I'm not overly keen on him on loan, but would be very happy to sign him.

That said, if it's Brewster + another perm striker, then that's more comfortable.

 

[S15Blade]

No way we get Watkins at all. be surprised if he moved for less than 30 mill, and his wages will be through the roof with the other clubs who are interested in him.

 

[Niceguyeddie]

Easy to stick bids in for players that aren't for sale

 

[Blade56]

Good move for the player. If he stays at Liverpool he will be ont bench and not get chance to be selected for England. If he comes to us as a permanent with a buyback and clicks he gets seen and selected and Liverpool’s investment comes back at a reasonable price not the ridiculous amounts for proven PL players

 

[SufcBilly]

I think Watkins will still be at Brentford at the end of the window i think hes shit out of luck

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

I'm not sure they'd sell him for less than they sold Solanke, considering Brewster scored about the same amount in half a season with Swansea as Solanke has scored in his entire career.

 

[Tarqs]

Difference being, Solanke was banging them in for england at youth levels and Liverpool bought him (albeit for fuckall) from Chelsea. Brewster hasn't done owt for u21s yet.

 

[Chabuddy G]

On a side note I’d still take Solanke

 

[SufcBilly]

Only averages 38 minutes a game for the u21's

 

[SufcBilly]

represented by same Agency as Antonee Robinson and Lunny. Christ they are everywhere those cunts

I'm sure you're probably right, but it just doesn't tally with a lot of people - but most importantly Wilder - moaning about things becoming public knowledge. There must be some element of truth to it.
