Skyline Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 That would be a very good signing. £15mil for a very highly rated, English young striker. Peanuts in today's market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hmmm. Not totally convinced by Brewster, but for that price it’s worth the punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I look on there now and then, so what? I find their hate-filled rantings about us rather amusing tbh, but it seems that half of them are permanently camped on Owlstalk reporting back every day on everything we say on here (not just in this thread), which is a whole different level of obsession/paranoia to what you accuse me of, it's really quite funny. I think on here we take the píss in a largely comical way, but on there it's pure bile with hating Wednesday more than loving United deeply ingrained in their DNA. That's the difference between you, sorry I mean them, and us. Nail. On. The. Head. At the risk of getting stick I actually signed for the Pigs as a schoolboy/youth player. I won't bore you with the protracted reasons as to why. It doesn't make me less of a Wednesday fan in fact it makes me more of one now knowing that there is a general tangible difference between the two clubs. I trained at Wednesday too before signing for the dark side and as alanharper rightly states, we tend to ridicule and laugh at the pigs. We are almost dismissive at times which winds them up even more. I was shocked as a 15 year old once I signed for the major trophy dodgers just how the whole club (with the exception of a few coaching staff at the time) where completely consumed by everything Wednesday. Their whole ethos seemed to be about just being better than us even it meant we were both poor, as long as they were above us that’s all that mattered. Some of the vile hatred I heard directed at us was incredible. To say we are in their heads and under their skin is an understatement. Even as they are now 33 years later I've not seen or heard anything to change that view only things to vindicate it. Of course I/we are generalising as I have friends and family who are pigs and most of them are great people. However, when it specifically comes to us some of them aren’t so great. I’m sure you’ve all experienced it. Of course they will swear blind this isn't true but being inside the inner sanctum of both clubs throughout my lifetime (unlike most of them) I can tell that it is absolutely is true.

OBB The fact they have a huge flag that simply says "we hate wednesday" tells you all you need to know about them. They hate us more than they love United, a truly strange breed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markg Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Just now, s6 owl said: Other clubs would be all over that surely. I'd have thought so. Young English player who scored a lot on loan at Swansea and has played and scored on a couple of Liverpool's pre-season games. He looked decent to me. I'd have thought more around 25 million in today's market, perhaps a bit more. Liverpool could do worse than having him on the bench this season to come on and nick a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 15 million seems quite low for him. Could be a very good signing though if they did get him in. He's got bugger all chance of getting in at Liverpool for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing a up and coming young prospect isn't really relegation signing.. a relegation signing would be someone on the down. As much as it loathes me to say it, it could be a smart piece of business.. one similar to the ones I'd like us to make when we get to the promised land. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass houses spring to mind. Let's be honest, we'd take any of those three you mentioned. Any of the three are better than what we've currently got. Would love a top class forward to sign for us to dwarf them. They're poo , but collectively work as a unit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
