CONFIRMED Rhian Brewster

[JohnDenver]

You've been sold as well? Is that to fund the Brewdog deal?

Dean Smith saw me playing 5-a-sides last Wednesday.

 

[Whipitin]

Just been on Sky Sports that we have signed Brewster - according to wife

 

[BushBlade]

I live near the Kassam and I couldn't tell you who Oxford are playing this weekend.

I live near QPR. I know a few Rangers fans, some I like and some I don’t. When they win I’m happy for the ones I like, when they lose I laugh at the ones I think are twats.

 

[siblade]

If only there was a Brewster thread

 

[Harrisblade]

yes. But announcement could be hours after the paperwork was submitted couldn’t it.

though there’s numerous sources saying we haven’t got the paperwork in in time

That's only based on the timing of the announcement.

 

[Dutch Blade]

Is he any good?

 

[Bladey]

Got a bottle of whisky here - I'm refusing to open it, until I see an awkward picture of Brewster wearing the Blades shirt, pointing towards the badge...

 

[LoughboroBlade]

I guessed absolutely everything, know no one at either club and have no contacts whatsoever outside what I read on here, but didn't flippity flop trying to cover all bases and effectively write us off, only to then try and claim he called it all along unlike big Al. Piece of piss this ITK lark.

The bet-hedger-in-chief was straight in there after all the Tier 1s confirmed it was happening.

if your wife is as good at sports news as mine, I think il wait

 

[Gimli]

That lager should have stayed lost, tastes awful no matter which club Rhian plays for....

Expensive Dish Watta!

Oh dear. Never had it before but got caught up in the groundswell of optimism early on this morning - still I’m sure it will taste delicious if that green tick is added to this thread later.

What ever happened to Zoe, 23, London #page3classics.

Spoiler: NSFW

 

[Greg.]

Watkins is 50x the player that Brewster is apparently #AVFC

 

[1973Blade]

Liverpool's 8th biggest transfer sale ever apparently.

 

[Antonb]

who cares what they think

 

[Booker4]

This could well be the difference between mid table and staying up.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Must be true then, wives are never fucking wrong.

 

[Wards]

Watkins is 50x the player that Brewster is apparently #AVFC

Watkins last season 0.54 gpg, Brewster last season 0.50 gpg...

 

[Gannon's perm]

He lives near Anfield? I’m sold!

Hope we got more than a packet of crisps and a diet coke for you!

 

[Whipitin]

Ha ha nice one, she's normally pretty accurate.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Two things - (1) Pity he won’t be able to feel the luurv and the special atmosphere like Sander did .

(2) Don’t expect miracles folks - he’s a young guy still learning his trade and , like most strikers apart from the truly exceptional ones , he will only be as good as the opportunities he is provided with . Let’s hope they are in plentiful supply .

Having said that I’ve got high hopes for the kid and feel that , given the dearth of proven strikers remotely within our price/wages bracket , I doubt we could have made a better signing .

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Watkins last season 0.54 gpg, Brewster last season 0.50 gpg...

So what you’re saying is not 50x then?

 

[BLADES1988]

Well we all know, more money=more better

 

[Wards]

So what you’re saying is not 50x then?

Not quite

 

[Booker4]

Did I read the medical was overnight/this morning on one of the tier 1 confirmations? I think I did but to be honest I skimmed through it all in the excitement

Hopefully it's all wrapped up and we're just waiting on the announcement!

Seems like it will happen sooner rather than later, but read that personal terms also not agreed on one account, you just don't know who to believe! Seems it's just a matter of time though.

 

[Antonb]

just waiting for the bloody video again

WHY BREWSTER TO BLADES MAKES SENSE

Sky Sports News’ Anton Toloui on The Transfer Show…

“Sheffield United have only had 27 shots in the Premier League this season. They’ve missed four big chances, which doesn’t sound like many, but when you consider two of their three defeats were by a one-goal margin, these chances have been crucial.

“The Blades need a clinical edge up front, and Rhian Brewster is the kind of player they’ve been after. Of the 11 goals he scored in the Championship last season for Swansea, nine of them were first-touch finishes.

“We all know about Brewster’s potential, how much he has achieved at youth level, this is a move that makes sense for both Sheffield United and Liverpool.”

 

[brownblade]

It sounds like it's all done and dusted. But can't actually celebrate until we see it...

Sky Sport News for example saying "it hasn’t been officially announced yet".

 

[Booker4]

Well we all know, more money=more better

I'm not just saying this because we will probably sign Brewster, but would rather Brewster for £25m than Watkins for £33m - both fees quoted as the maximum they could be. Brewster looks to have the edge to me from the highlights I've seen. We'll see come the end of the season, but Villa may well provide more service with the likes of Grealish.

He's younger, no worse, potentially better considering his pedigree, and cheaper.

Villa fans haven't got a leg to stand on.

Service will be key though as you say.
