Truly one of the great philosophical dilemmas of our time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Well it’s going to be an interesting few days at the Lane. Manager says he needs four or five players in. They will lessen to offers for Burke and five touches and Everton will be back in for Jebend. And still need to raise another £16m to raise the £40m they need to break even. I think I hear the rumblings of a massive implosion in S2 Can you imagine if they sell those three and only bring in the 37 year old Algerian? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous to compare the 2, Wasn't it the whole premise of Brewsters Millions that an ordinary man who had nothing had to 'waste' an eye watering amount of money and at the end of it all he couldn't have anything to show for it? Nothing that could be sold on for a price? All he could have were the clothes on his back and memories of all the money he wasted? Ah, not so ridiculous after all I see 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article in the Athletic earlier this year saying they basically need to raise £40m this summer to make up the shortfall incurred by getting relegated in hilarious fashion last season. If correct, they need to sell another £16m worth of players before they can make any proper signings… and they’ve got a few days (including a bank holiday weekend) left to do so. 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this is why Brewster has suddenly become available. Despite his poor show for them, there will be some clubs willing to take the gamble on a young, English prospect. Though if true, I would have expected them to be offloading Berge with the interest he's had over recent months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I love it that some of them still believe they didn't spend anything compared to others. They spent, net, c.£120m whilst they were in the Prem. Contrast that with Burnley who spent c.£8m, and Liverpool who spent c.£24m. Crystal Palace made a £40m profit in the same two seasons.

SiJ Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Who in their right mind is going to buy Brewster off them? His only track record of note was half a season at Swansea a few years back in the Champ. Since then he's scored one goal for United since a 23 million pound move? Isn't this a move with a big sell on clause and buy back clause too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they play in different positions, but it’s still staggering to think Brewster cost them over 100x what we paid for Iorfa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
