The place is a cesspit, one of the best things humanity could do would be to take it down completely never to return. It does serve a legitimate purpose for some but its biggest result by far has been to be a platform for morons and degenerates to spout their ‘opinions’ anonymously and not just when it comes to football.
There is nothing wrong with twitter when you only use reliable news sources and ignore the comments as I do. Then it is a usefully and quick (sports)news outlet.
I wish more would do this. All these posts on here complaining about what some idiot has posted on twitter is frustrating and lowers the level of discussion on here to a depressing level. We just don’t need it.
The best for the lad is to move on. He needs games regularly, and won’t get them with us at this stage of his development. On loan, or on a permanent deal, it doesn’t matter that much, but he must know that he has to move.
The thing is just to find him a suitable club, and that’s probably what Edwards, Klopp and co are trying to do now. He has potential for some PL clubs, so I expect to see interest around him.
Agree with this completely. There is nothing wrong with a young player wanting what is best for his career - which in this case is regular playing time at a club that suits his development.
Brewster was not going to get those minutes with us. In this case, it isn’t about: if he is good enough he’ll play. This is more of a case of, if he plays… one day he may become good enough.
Sort of disagree mate. The same people using Twitter, are completely different when on a platform like LinkedIn. The behaviour and conduct changes drastically. It’s the anonymity, lack of moderation and proven lack of consequences that brings out the dirty side of people.
Edit. Maybe need a separate thread to discuss that. Back to Brewster here
I think a loan to a PL club would be best. Sheffield United are still keen and have a manager who seems to know what he’s doing.
If he does well after a full season there, then that should bump his price up a lot higher than it is now, assuming that we’ve returned to a kind of normality by then
There is absolutely no interest for Sheffield Utd or Brewster to accept a loan deal.
Keeping a sulking player that the manager refuses to play doesn’t do anyone any good.
Time to be grown up me thinks.
Bit of a tangent here: I only use Twitter for politics. I rarely post myself or get involved in debate (a grandiose term, I know), but I follow most UK MPs from both sides of the house and a smattering of journalists (a grandiose term, I know). It provides a limited overview, but I set it up when I left the UK to keep up to date and hopefully cut out any potentially prejudice middle-men.
I also happen to follow Tom Watson on Instagram (this shouldn’t be misconstrued as an endorsement of the man). For those who don’t know, Tom Watson is the former deputy leader of the Labour party. He used to be quite a heavy lad, but he got into shape a few years ago after he was diagnosed with diabetes.
Anyway, for his birthday a few years ago, he posted a pic of himself with his birthday cake. The consensus Instagram reply was “Happy birthday, Tom! Have a great day!”. Of course, Twitter went a different way; “I suppose you’re gonna eat that whole thing yourself, you fat cunt!”, etc.
A perfect summation of the contrast between Twitter and other sites. Twitter is all bile and bitterness aimed in any and all directions. Kinda like Blue Moon.
While some clubs are interested, I don’t think they agree with our valuation of Brewster and we willing to hang on to him given his age and perceived ceiling.
I don’t think we are going to sell him during this window.
What the twitterarti twats fail to to understand is that players are human being beings who have their own motivations and desires and their own plans for their own careers. Rhian Brewster is a lad who has nearly left once over playing time and obviously wants to be playing football. Unless anyone is advocating playing him over Salah, Bobby or Mane it’s likely that this is just a natural parting of the ways.
I don’t understand that. As far as I know the player isn’t sulking, although he might do if he stayed at Anfield this season. I don’t see why there’s “no interest” for Sheff Utd in taking Brewster on loan. They don’t have much to spend, so taking him on loan makes sense, and there’s no reason why Wilder wouldn’t play him if he went to the trouble of getting the player.
He always striked me as a bit of an impatient one. And that’s totally fine, he does have certain talent to believe in himself (part of what he is as a character, doesn’t mean he’ll end up in the game where he maybe still thinks he will) and back it up. You can also have too patient players, or better to says, those lazy ones who pick up wages and are afraid of trying something new. No issues if he can’t come back from a big injury, missing a year of football being a young player and in the same time breaking in Klopp’s Liverpool first team. It’s very simple; the better we are, the more we’ll have to “disappoint” individuals. If we can’t get a player for now, the next mission is to get the best possible deal, with some future options/bonuses.
It’s possible we might be seeing the effects of Covid on clubs trickle down to individual players. In a normal world, if we are parting company with Brewster, you would think there would be several suitable clubs stumping up enough cash that we would do a deal.
Now, with everyone skint, the amount of money in offer might not interest us in the slightest, and at that point we’d rather keep a talented young player in house.
Which might not be the best for his career at this point… hence the trickle down Covid effect on individual players.
