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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
