Liverpool set Brewster asking price / No good for the Jacks

Liverpool set Brewster asking price

Liverpool are reportedly willing to cash in on young striker Rhian Brewster.

According to The Guardian, the Reds could be willing to accept bids in the region of £20m, a price tag that would effectively end any hopes of Swansea City bringing the striker back to the club this season.

Brewster enjoyed a hugely successful loan spell at the Liberty Stadium last term, netting 10 goals in 20 games.

However, with several sides expressing an interest in the forward, another reunion with Steve Cooper looks increasingly unlikely.

Aston Villa, Sheffield United and Brighton are among those believed to be interested.

Couldn't they just pay them 10p in the £? As is their normal business model

Can't see him going to villa,now they have bought Watkins from Brentford, think he'd do well at Sheff utd,they are a close knit team who work hard,and try and play football too,who knows,but if he ain't snapped up by a prem team at that price,I'd be surprised. :old: :bluebird:

Nothing fortunate about it. It wasn’t a lucky dip.

Whispers that he will be coming back this season if they don’t manage to sell.

I don’t think it’s likely personally but you never know, he clearly enjoyed his time and had put his career in the spotlight. If he can back up the season he had then his stock will be incredibly high.

Will certainly be a coup if the Jacks manage to bring him in again. Obviously that would be a loan move.

All depends on whether a Premier League club, who need a striker, can afford him.

As said above, the fact that Newcastle have signed Callum Wilson and Villa have signed Ollie Watkins probably rules them out.

Sheffield United being mentioned but I'm not sure that will happen.

Not outside a reasonable possibility that he will return to Swansea on loan.

well you havent liked football long if you think every young up and coming prospect works out when going on loan.. some work out better than others, some do not work out at all..bit like transfers...whats Baston playing like these days ? or was he a well thought out disaster ?

You said fortunate to have such a good player on loan. It’s not fortunate he was a good player, he was a good player that has previously played under our manager and knew what he was getting. Borja hadn’t played for our manager, or any English football for that matter.

As I said, it wasn’t a lucky dip.

No chance they won't want him in a relegation battle, if he goes on loan it will be to one of the fancied clubs to give him some confidence ina promotion pushing team, although I think he will be sold he looks a decent mid placed Premier League Striker.

Or means the list goes on ... are you saying you used have a lucky dip policy but have changed tack ?

I have no idea what that means.

The manager had managed him previously, knew him very well and what he would bring, decided to bring him on on that basis - he delivered as intended.

What’s confusing you here?

We are 7th or 8th favourites for the title depending on which bookmaker you use, but regardless, promotion or the chances of that have little to no bearing on a loan move intended to improve the player. Clubs look for a clubs style of play that can develop the player, one that is somewhat similar to their own so they can then potentially step up to the first team seamlessly.

Our passing style of play in which Brewster would be released with through balls in conjunction with the signing of Gallagher was one of the reasons they wanted him to come on loan to us (and was also the reason Chelsea pulled Gallagher from Charlton and sent him to us). Combined with the fact Cooper has a great previous relationship with both players it made it a perfect fit.

If he was to be loaned out to the Championship we would without doubt be favourites to land him, it’s just whether it comes to that or not.

mesa not means... but the list of failures is endless... and thats how football is.. we have them too just not the amount of nuclear grade f ups you lot manage.. so yes Brewster was a bit fortunate as im sure your club did not mean to make so many mistakes and sooner or later the lucky dip had to work.

The same is true for Mesa as it is for Borja, we didn’t really know what we were getting, he also hadn’t played in English football and nobody at the club had ever worked with him.

With Brewster the manager had managed him before, knew what he was all about and what we would be getting - so got him on loan. That’s not fortunate.

yep same for mesa as borja and many more..
we didnt know what we were getting............. :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: £25 mill for lucky dips..
i could make a list with even worse lucky dip signings where you did not know what you were getting ... but i think you get my point.
well run club... the model everyone aspires too... who said that then ?

You aren’t making much sense here, which isn’t out of the ordinary.

You said we got lucky with Brewster. I told you factually that it wasn’t lucky, the manager worked with him before and knew what he was getting, hence why he loaned him.

After getting that sensible response you seem to have changed your point to other signings? Were we lucky when we re-signed Gylfi? When we re-signed Britton from Sheff Utd. Of course not, we knew what we were getting and how they play under the manager.

Signings have different degrees of risk, ask Cornelius. Players a manager has worked with previously ranks among the lowest on the risk scale.

I take it you now realise why you were wrong, it’s ok to be wrong you know. :laughing6:
