Rated very highly by Liverpool, lightening quick and apparently similar to Owen. Not really broken into the Liverpool team due to a long injury last year.

By the way, I actually wasn't even thinking about the scenario under which a point deduction would leave us threatened by relegation - but if that did come to pass, I'd be just as inclined to not stake our future on teenage prospects from the Prem. Besides, even with the squad as it is, we've got no trouble picking up points - and if we had to do it down at the other end of the table, it's clear we don't need to rely on kids to get ourselves free from the relegation zone. Besides, none of the promoted sides last season relied upon these type of untried teenage Prem loanees; it's not like they're somehow the secret ingredient to the recipe for success. United most notably so in their use of (or lack of) Ben Woodburn - and he'd at least made appearances in the Liverpool first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to use him as an example He’s been struggling at Oxford, injured now, but largely ineffective It is a gamble with a lot of these youngsters, Brewster included, but it’s still probably the cheapest way to add pace, and that level of skill. How much would it cost us to buy someone more experienced with such attributes? We have plenty of experience, and players with championship knowhow, what we could do with introducing is a bit of dynamism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I know i keep banging this drum We're 3rd in the table - playing well Do we really need to be "guaranteeing" game time to a kid who has never played a game in the professional leagues? He might have "attributes" - loads and loads of young players do Whether they can bring those attributes to the reality of professional football is another matter - we've all long seen that youth and u23 football is miles and miles away from even upper non-league standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I like Brewster, but my worry would be physicality. He's only 19 but suffered with injury already. This is a tough league. Not sure how robust he'd be. Obvious talent though, but that's not always enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Will he fit into the team or will it mean changing things around? We need to be consistent for the 2nd part of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah course they would,why wouldn't they? We played many games after the disaster without any blame pointing or problems in general. Seems to me that people are looking for issues where there aren't any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
