CONFIRMED Rhian Brewster

[Torrix1889]

To be fair he seems to have a decent hit rate if you go through his prior tweets (e.g. Batshuayi, Watkins, Martinez)

Yeah but most of them when they were just about done and all over the press anyway.....Nixon MK2

 

[Antonb]

Hang on we signed last night in a permanent!

 

[ShropsBlade]

Loaning him really doesn’t get me excited.Think he is far from the finished article yet and might need a season or two to get into it.

 

[Antonb]

Sorry I mean he signed last night!

 

[Mouth of the South]

I still can't fathom why anyone would create and maintain a fake ITK account, either on here or Twitter - it must be an attention seeking thing for people with too much time on their hands

 

[Sheffsteel]

That’s the problem.

Some of these people just scan tweets of genuine ITK and regular scan the rumour sections in forums...then they interpret that info. They don’t actually know anything. It just becomes “chinese whispers”, I’m using that phrase before it gets banned for being racist.

I remember last year The Star were getting their hot off the press latest transfer updates from reading the Richard Cadette posts on this forum.

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

I am not enthused by a loan would rather we didn't bother.

 

[SilkyBlade]

Thanks for your view, I still think it’s a risk as you’ve essentially described Moose and the price is huge. If he’s this good though, why is there no other interest when Premier league teams find players like Wesley and Joelinton are for more money? I get the Berge comparison but big teams were interested but didn’t move, this lad no ones seemingly interested yet he’s another level?
I guess the Brewster/Dennis comparisons will continue but while both seem risky it would appear there’s very little data even subjective opinion, to do this against.

I agree all transfers to a certain extent carry an element of risk.

Jesus f**cking Christ.

As I snaffle down a handful of Valium...I say keep calm and focus on the evidence. A beaming CW and a vacancy at No 24...this is happening!

A loan is not for me dont want us to build up any more teams players and see them flourish elsewhere.

Would much rather have our own a loan would be deflating after all the hype and with everything CW said.

If he was that excited about a loan there is something wrong somewhere.

 

[Weneverscorefromcorners]

Fuck getting him on loan. One thing to have him permanent and bed him into the squad, another to spend a season acclimatising him to the prem so Liverpool can reap the rewards. I'll be very unimpressed if this is the case.

 

[PaddysMad]

Doubt

 

[Niceguyeddie]

Fuck me can't wait till deadline day is over

 

[SufcBilly]

Loan doesn't do anything for me. Leaves us in a shocking position next summer

Unless he turns out to be wank, then at least we can send him back

Yep, Bill and Didzy will be on zimmer frames by then and God knows whats gonna happen with Moose

Realistically we could need to get 4 strikers, the most expensive position on the pitch.

Disagree - if that’s the only way we can get him. Wasn’t bad having hendo last season was it? We then replaced him with an alternative.

The position doesn’t really change we keep 20m In The back pocket and if he’s done well we have another year in the prem, more funds, more profile and replace him / buy him then.

 

[ShropsBlade]

Loaning a bunch of youngsters from the top 6 seems something you could expect from a championship club not a club coming off a 9th place prem finish.

If he has a good season in the prem you're talking double what he'd cost now.

We will need to replace Billy and possibly Didzy and Moose. That leaves us in a bad financial position instead of getting one in now

Yeh but Liverpool would demand most of that back in a buy back clause

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

I thought Chris mentioned last week that he hopes to have the striker in the next day or two. This cant bode well for us. Bahhh really hope something happens sooner than later, this anticipation is killing me.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

But If he has a shit season for us, we arn’t on the hook for 20 million and 3/4/5 years of his expensive contract.

we will only know with the benefit of hindsight.

But if we stay in the division again maybe then We donspend some more money on bigger deals if we arnt in the midst of a global pandemic.

depends what your definition of a shit season is

Can't see his wages being astronomical.. I'd guess around 30k a week. Think we definitely need one perm in, weather that's Brewster, Dennis or a target nobodys thought of yet.

At least we know he’s a good Championship striker

 

[Houso]

Eh? Have a look through every club of our size last season and see how many loaned young players from the 'big clubs'. This is the same at home and abroad.

That Henderson loan was bloody awful business for us.

If he scores goals, then a loan is a good signing. If he doesn't, then it's a bad signing.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

I would like to sign a quality striker on a perminant contract or at least a loan with an option to buy included. But we don’t control what Liverpool will do.

Mcgoldrick has another few years in him yet and i don’t think the plan will be for billy will start more than say 5 games this season. So the hope has to be for mcburnie and mousset to really kick on.

Sick of this Mousset nonsense, he will never ever be fit his body makes it physically impossible. He is an impact player last 20 minutes at best. We need someone to do 90 minutes
