It’s mad he’s probably fifth choice there. Mcgoldrick, sharp, Burke, Mcburnie all seem to be ahead of him yet he’s probably a better goal scorer than all of them. And god knows they need goals. |  |

They had no problem with McBurnie last season when he was their joint top scorer. Football supporters in "a bit fickle" shock.
If they truly believe that their problems lie in the forward line then they deserve relegation. [Post edited 8 Feb 2021 19:41]

This with bells on. Forward players need decent service. They are lacking in flair and quality in key areas that provide that service. both players have the ability to score goals if given the necessary service. As Churchill told the Yanks in the early part of the war..."Give us the tools and we will do the job". | | | |

Think we saw enough of Brewster's limitations here to know he'd struggle in the PL unless he had a very good side serving up chances for him. Klopp was critical his lack of all around game in preseason shortly before selling. Few teams can carry a simple poacher in the modern game.
Needed another season in the Championship to learn his game but players don't turn down big money moves to the top division, especially when they already see themselves a superstar.
I thought McBurnie would do well in their system, particularly now the pubs are shut. | | | |

Even last season when they finished 9th they only scored 39 goals in 38 games. Seven sides below them in the table scored more goals. Flush with creativity they weren't. Just a well organised, defensively sound (they only conceded 39 goals) unit.
Problem with that is eventually teams will work you out. If your limited capacity to create chances is choked then no matter how good your forwards are, you'll struggle. Defensively they're still not terrible (five other teams have conceded as many or more), but only Burnley have scored fewer.
Brewster and McBurnie are on a hiding to nothing. | |

I thought McBurnie was a bit limited as a player, but his goal scoring record shows his value.
Style is not always so important if you can score goals.
Overall I thought Brewster had more about him.
More mobility, more modern style - and a goal scorer.
Sheffield United's record signing.
Not sure he was true Premiership class, and a struggling team has not helped.

McBurnie 7 goals from his 52 appearances over two years including one full season In the top half of the League
Brewster 0 goals 17 appearances
That’s shocking for the money paid out isn’t it whichever way you try to dress it up 😩 | |

Bit of both
You could put the best striker in the world in a poor team and he’d struggle although you would expect a better return than those numbers regardless for 40 million plus |  |

Brewster was getting outpaced by every centre half in the division over anything more than 5 yards. The period where we were knocking balls into the channels for him to chase was the worst we looked last season. Might have worked for him at u17s but not against grown men. Lowe has been a big upgrade in that department.
McBurnie had even less pace but his link play was far better and he was decent in the air. Still a headache for Potter trying to fit him in to a system, big part of why he tinkered so much imo. Needed a Routledge (or a Baker-Richardson lol) to do the grunt work leading the line, holding it up and running in behind. | | | |

"Think we saw enough of Brewster's limitations here"
You may have, but I saw a very exciting and hungry young player, that unfortunately made the wrong decision to go to a poor team.
Of course that's just my opinion. | |

Klopp and I had him figured but keep believing he "just needs service" or whatever. He's obviously some way off PL standard at the moment, which is entirely understandable given how much football he missed between the world cup junior trophy and joining us. He's a player for whom the hype outpaced actual development.
Next season in the Championship will be good for him, if he can establish himself ahead of McBurnie, Sharp and McGoldrick. Can't see there being much demand for any of them. | | | |

Do you a agree with some of that, or none of it.
And btw, I didn't mention "just needs better service" | |

That’s not quite true though
I’ve seen some of the Sheff Utd games and most of their games have been close, they’ve created chances but their lack of real quality up front has cost them.
Brewster now seems low on confidence and McBurnie isn’t really good enough. | |

They will both be playing at their level next season.
Mcbernie big time Charlie who thinks he's better than he is.
How we £20 mill for I'll never know.
Brewster another player who is not premiership standard.

Think the Swans had similar issues in the PL, Gomis who has scored goals pretty much everywhere he’s been struggled in Swansea. It’s about a team and Sheffield U look pretty poor at the moment. | | | |

McBurnie is actually a good player. A Multi purpose vehicle. He can be a No10 a No9 or play on the wing. He was a supporting player to Keiffer Moore at Barnsley.
He can pass he can dribble and he is one of the best headers of the ball in the PL and he links up play smoothly.. In a decent tream like last years Sheff utd he scored 7. He could get 10 or so at Southampton or Leeds . Look at Mitorovic. Unplayable in the Championship, iuseless in the PL.
Glen Murray was still playing gettiing a handful of goals at Rochdale when he was 24. I think Jamal Lowe would struggle as a forward in the PL and would need a season to develop. |  |

In fairness to Brewster 11 of those appearances have been as sub, Wilder putting him on when chasing a game.
Hard to think of a more unsuitable club he could have signed for. | |

Brewster made a bad mistake in 2018 signing a 5 year contract on presuambly relatively low wages. Liverppol have been quite brutal with him, selling him on for big money with a buy back clause and sell on cluases. According to them he was two seasons too young to play Premier league football but they sold him to Sheffiedl Utd anyway. Brutal.
I am a supporter of responsible capitalism but this to move smacks of 'grab a fast buck' and run. The player is not their concern the bottm line is their concern. They have history with Robbie Duncan and made his quest for contractual freedom a misery. Sterling still gets grief. Liverpool the media darlings are a nasty piece of work. Duty of care for young players forget it. Neco Williams will have a 5 year deal in front of him. I would advise him no more thant three.
The Arsenal plyrs are a lot shrewder and none sign long deals to give themselves maximum wriggle room. | |

Clearly the wrong club and wrong move, but to be fair I have my doubts over Brewsters common sense.
Ever since I saw him prancing around in a Champions League medal at the barbers that he didn’t play a single minute to earn had me thinking that unfortunately it’s all about the show and image for him. Premier League and cash would probably come before a sound and clever decision on his long term future.
I liked him when he was here but unfortunately just another modern footballer. They are a different breed, social media, status and image is paramount.

Bobby Duncan's agent-driven "quest for freedom" has done him more harm than good. Happy to sign a long term big money contract one minute then demand first team football the next or else get a free trip to Italy for another signing bonus. One game for Derby (when the entire first team setup was in isolation) since then suggests his demands were probably a little unreasonable.
Liverpool have always spent big on youth player wages compared to most other clubs. Harry Wilson's not unique. Five figures a week not unusual. | | | |

Neutrals and the media tend to always take Liverpool's side of the story in most cases. Not sure why. Sterling was painted as a money grabber for not doffing his cap to the Liverpool greats. Swansea have a decent history with Liverpool going back to the Toshack era obviously but none of that is relevant now.
I got the impression that Duncan wanted to play first team football. Perhaps he might have been treated like Brewster if he had shown the same loyalty.
Even Swansea fans trash their own chairman in deference to the migthty red chicken. Joey Allen was lobbed a n £8m soft ball offer to accept and push through his club but Joey satuted the red flag and went to Stoke for £5m more. Fans laughably believe Joey wanted to come to Swansea. If he did why did he do what he was told by a German not his Welsh firends? | |
