Rhian Brewster

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

Not a chance, not at his level.

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

True, the 35k claim must be BS.

True!

There's some positions in our team it'd be hard to break through, but up front, Firmino aside, we've got no one to fear.

At the very least he'd get some minutes off the bench most games. At his age that's brilliant progress.

When they play though how much time are they on the pitch for? because Solanke may have more appearances but the odd start here and there aside most of them are 10-15 mins from the bench. I would say you would develop more playing a couple of games from the start than you would in 10 or 15 15 min sub appearances.

Sancho started 7 times and played 684 minutes in all

Lookman started 10 times (3 with the Ev) and played 955 minutes (250 with the Ev)

Solanke 6 starts and played 619 minutes

Big thing stopping Solanke is lack of ability imo. I think another kid of higher quality would get more game time. There's been times when Bobby has been running on empty and Klopp hasn't bothered bringing on Solanke

I know the lad scored on Sunday but I struggle to see him having any kind of future at LFC

Made the same point about the ones playing in Germany. Not sure why people keep saying he must be looking at them and... as opposed to saying he should be looking at the likes of Trent, McTominay or even Foden who have arguably had more success.

I agree to an extent with Solanke. If he produced more, he most likely would have got more playing time and he's probably got a fair amount of game time for his first season. Disagree about ability, but that's been done already.

Fair enough there is essentially no difference in game time.

To a certain extent it is lack of ability because if Solanke were close to the level of the front 3 we would be happy to rotate him in, the problem is a young player is always going to have that issue. I think that the bigger issue for Solanke is that he doesn't seem suited to our style of play, for me that is the biggest issue.

Trent and Gomez got games (not just this season either) so we clearly are willing to take the plunge if a youngster is near good enough

They got so much time because of circumstances - the injury to Clyne and hence the need for one or other to play. Obviously they need to be close to the side for consideration, but if there were similar injury problems up front Solanke would gave played alot more. If it weren't for the injury to Clyne both TAA and Gomez would have probably been in a similar situation to Solanke - playing cup games, the odd PL start when people were tired and minutes from the bench.

Maybe Brewster is using Woodburn, Wilson, Kent and Grujic as his yardstick. The thing is you’d imagine we’d offer more money and if he was good enough he’d get plenty of game time - 4 comps next year. From what I’ve read his agent is doing plenty of pushing so maybe a signing on fee if he went to Germany?

35k is nothing for us. If he's that good a prospect then just pay it.

I read somewhere that LFC, City and some other clubs pay their academy graduates a set 15k on their first pro contracts, this included TAA, who has since been offered or signed a new better deal.

Why change the rule for Brewster? if he was so good we would have seen him at least in cameo roles before his injury.

[Fosterbloke]

I disagree that Solanke lacks quality or doesn't suit our system. If either is true then there's no way Klopp would give him any time.

It's clear he does and is learning how to fit into the system.

He gives Moreno time also

I think it's sensible, well as sensible as these things go, Klopp is the only elite coach I know who places such importance on developing the team and the players. If Brewster has any sense he'll stay with Klopp, otherwise, his loss really.
