Isnt he supposed to be going somewhere else? Leipzig maybe?
The Palace deal seems a good one for all parties, except for maybe Brewster. I fear what will happen to his development playing on this version of Palace as they have been one of the most dour, unadventurous sides Ive ever seen. They were much improved in positivity against Utd this weekend, but one swallow and all that…
Plus, Eberechi Eze. What is he, a mix between a #10 and a second striker? He’s their third most expensive player, though Brewster might squeeze in their top 3 now.
I don’t know, it’s exactly clubs/sides like Palace where I scratch my head the most. About a dozen forwards and still have the likes of Scott Dann starting games at CB in the PL. As long as Roy squeezes out results, you get the impression that everything is fine.
When a few cracks appear and they drop down a level or two, panic will kick in and they’ll be wondering why.
I presume Zaha’s off so Brewster playing up front with Ayew, with Townsend and Eze just behind looks OK for him. Ayew would probably complement him fairly well.
I like Rhian and I’m disappointed if he’s leaving but he’s not really a great fit playing style wise for us. He’d always be a plan B for us. To think we may sell him for what Thiago cost us! He’s had 6 good months on loan in the Championship!
Just seen loads of people absolutely raging on James Pearce’s tweet about us potentially selling Brewster.
One of them called him the ‘best youth prospect this club has had since Fowler’. Even if he only meant strikers that’s just blatently not true. Another called it ‘shameful that FSG sell our best young players’.
