I personally don’t think he’s good enough for us but then again which percentage of professional footballers are?
I’d look for a 25 million deal with maybe a 20% sell on clause. Would fund another attacker anyways or at least the majority of the sum.
Although a traditional striker that is lethal in the box. I’m not sure if he is the full package that we need at this time. Also his game time would be shorter than he would most likely want.
I still go back to Community shield. We needed a goal. It’s a friendly. Klopp still couldn’t bring himself to bring on Brewster for anyone in the team. I can’t see him getting much time at all this year.
Unfortunate, but I’d still like to see him go on loan at prem side before we sell, at least so we can shop window him for a whole year. I guess maybe we are that hard up for money to finish our transfer dealings or are not sure he will fare well when he goes out.
would love him to do well here, and I think unless we receive an insane amount for a essentially still unproven youth, he will stay. I think that amount would have to be above 20mil before we consider a sale. We are not desperate to sell him, but would be open to sell him if someone is desperate enough.
Maybe we’ve moved on to trying to shift Brewster to get funds for the squad. Original plan was to offload Wilson, Grujic, etc…but no takers at our prices in current climate, so we’ve moved on to try and shift Brewster in effort to build squad?
Not sure I believe that line of thinking, but we are definitely trying/need to shift players before we fill out squad how Jurgen wants it.
I feel Brewster is pushing for a move and I don’t blame him. He won’t go out on loan imo.
If the Boss is looking to move Brewster on, I back him 100%. Someone on here mentioned the other day, one can usually get a sense of how the Boss feels about a player in the things he says publicly. And to that end, he talks of Brewster in the very same way he talks of Wilson, mentions things that specifically need worked on and what more is expected of them to be a regular. I don’t doubt JK loves Brewster as a person but I also get the sense the Boss doesn’t think Rhian is the greatest fit for his tactics.
If he leaves for loan this year, he is done. I have been trying to think of a single player that has gone for a loan and has actually made it at Liverpool, which already puts him at a disadvantage because he has already been on one.
If there’s any hesitation with the manager over Brewster fit for what he wants, it’s best to sell. The lower league lad (forget his name, Ollie Watkins or something) went for close to 30M so that’s what we should sell Brewster for, if not more.
Also, just in case he proves to be a goal machine and his value soars, we should protect the club by inserting either/or a buyback clause, or a hefty future sell on percentage.
We’d do well to get that kind of fee for a player who hasn’t even played 30 domestic games in his career yet, especially in the current market. He’s had a good half season at Swansea, I’m not sure that’s enough to convince a side they should part with £30m for him.
If he wants to go just let him go 10 million it’s not as if we want him.
Well, by that measure we should get over 40 million for Origi and I can’t see that happening.
I think 20 mil would be great for someone of such limited experience.
Plus the all-important buy back clause of course.
Brewster being linked with a loan move to Sheff United. Would be a good move for him this year. They don’t have anyone in same mold as Brewster, and I could see him getting a lot of playing time for a well organized side. They desperately need someone to score some goals for them this year (with all due respect to Oli McBurnie…) At the very least we could see how he does against premier league defenders.
This would be so good for everyone concerned. Playing in the Premier League under a progressive manager.
He isnt good enough yet to play for us so sell him with a buy back clause.
We can then get someone in who is good enough.
The lad is a poacher but clearly Klopp thinks he doesnt work hard enough off the ball.
Sheff United and Swansea are in talks according to Sky but LFC havent yet decided if it will be loan or perm sale.
Buy back clauses are unenforcable. but we also need to understand that he has no loyalty to us. He came to us an already well developed young player on the basis of seeing a path to the first team with us that he didn’t think existing at his original club. If we move him on without ever really having played him, and then decide a few years later we want him back, why we have any unique pull for him?
Yeah agree on buy back. Not sure how theyve ever been allowed before.
I would offer Sheffield Utd a reduced transfer fee in exchange for a hugely inflated sell on clause. 20m and 40%. Something like that.
It’s also true to say that Brewster has tried to leave several times before and we have always blocked him so trying to buy him back if he settled in well at Sheffield United would probably lead to him telling us to jog on.
His family (at least his Dad) are big Reds but other than that, if he left I imagine he’d only rejoin if he’s going to be a starter.
They’re not prohibited, just they’re legally unenforceable so pretty pointless.
If Origi is sold, he stays, else at the very least he is off on loan again.
