Rhian Brewster

[S-RED]

Can't believe we are haggling at the price; i know its mental money for a kid, but we would have to pay a hell of a lot more for a replacement within the next 2-3 years

[frank the tank]

We'd need to be sure that he is the real deal though. Otherwise we could be setting a new policy at the club if we are not careful.

If the lad has loads of options, then he should look at them. I'd like to think that LFC would be a good option for the fella too though. It's not like we are a team like Chelsea that just harvest young players who have little chance of making the breakthough there. I think even if we were to sign another attacking player to complement what we have, then Brewster would have a chance at Liverpool.

I think a good option might be to sign a deal with LFC with a release clause. Also, LFC loan him out to someone like Huddersfield.

Went well for that Sinclair fella too, that was similar, where is he now?

He'll earn loads, doesn't have to get parity with Emre Can right now.

Yeah, I reckon these things are a test for a young player (and more impoirtantly their choice of agent). Follow the $ at a young age, or trust your career to a manager who has shown he can maximise potential. If the decision is to follow the cash then 'see yaaaa'...!

And that Spanish lad who went to Norwich (?)

Dont think thats fully fair. I dont know the specifics of this case. But kids like Yaden Sancho and Ademola Lookman have gone elsewhere to get first team games and a chance to develop into something better away from the spotlight. Sancho was breaking through and making waves at Dortmund too by the end of the season.

Its natural that these players will get a pay increase due to their ages. But I dont think its so much that its more than a PL team can offer them.

Think we are in danager with Brewster of thinking we are the best and only option for him. That said, id like it if we had signed him and then let him go out on loan for a year or two. But I dont know if that model works much anymore.

It's a tricky one. Players wlll find it hard to break into teams in the top 6 soon enough (if not already) so its a natural course that players will seek moves abroad to broaden their chances, there was a real talent drain from Spain's top two for a long time, e.g. Fabregas. And a club like Dortmund have proven history in bring young talent in and giving them time. Although I think we do pretty well with giving young players a chance, even when they are not particularly ready.

It definitely would be hard for Brewster to break into our front three (or essentially be back up to Firmino). But for every Sancho there's an Oliver Burke, a simple solution is to get him on a professional contract and loan him (for a fee) ala, Lookman.

IF it's true about the 35k than that's too much surely. I mean Can was on something like that. I would have thought a incentivised contract would be fairer.

Would he get £35K per week in Germany??

Not a chance, not at his level.

[Lecter]

I didnt think so either

To me even the football argument doesnt make massive sense

Lookman has played what about a dozen times, Sancho about the same

Solanke has probably made as many if not more appearances than both of them put together

Frankly if I was a kid such as Brewster I would be backing my talent to be better than Solankes

Picking the right club to loan to is important though. A youngster needs to be at a club much lower down in stature to ensure he gets relevant playing time; but at the same time the standard of football played needs to be relevant to him

Any team on a similar level to us is either not going to play a kid, or is going to question why they'd develop someone else's player

The only recent young success story I can think of is Sterling, and we poached him late anyway. He sold for £50m, so it shows how outstanding a youngster needs to be in order to break into the team
