He’s also got plenty wrong about us in the past. I’d like to hear his theory on why we are actively trying to loan him!
Would be a bizarre move, unless it’s to draw a potential purchaser out of the woods? Is Duncan Castles a journo?
Yeah. He flew out to Senegal to meet Mane's agent, came back, quarentined for 2 weeks, then went to Centre Parcs and got Covid off the bloke from the BP garage. Now Liverpool only want to lone him if we pay half his wages fml
I have different info to The Recluse above, I'd heard that he'd actually gone back to Donegal. Hence why the trip was so quick. We've also been saying his name wrong the whole time, it's actually Ismail O'Sarr.
I was wondering about a reverse option ie. if we have to sell him to Liverpool see if they can loan him back to us to soften the blow for a bit.
I’d love him to stay, but I can’t think of a better player who has ever played in the championship. They’d break his legs in this league of northern cloggers. You don’t live in a rough estate and leave your Ferrari on show. Nor should you expect to wake up and see that it’s still there in the morning. You‘d give to your rich mate to keep it in their premium garage. We’ll loan him to protect our investment and because it’s a bad market. 10m up front, then 50m if they want to sign him at the end of the year, is where I’d start negotiations. Cut 5m off if they loan us Brewster.
Even if they were willing to loan Brewster, no chance at all he'd come here; Newcastle, Palace, Sheff Utd, and prob a few other PL clubs, are all chomping at the bit to take him on loan.
Grealish and to a lesser extent, Mitrovic spring to mind. I’m very realistic about our situation - but almost unreasonably juxtaposing that, I think Sarr will stay. Neves also not only played in the Championship but joined Wolves knowing they were in it.
Ah for ****'s sake, just like last season, I almost don't care one way or the other, just let us know! Yeah, Norwich were absolutely awful last season, but I envy them knowing that they at least knowing they seem to have it all sorted for this season, us? We don't know whose coming or going, we could have Sarr, Estupinan and Hughes, or we could have Sema, Masina and Cleverley...
Yep, no way he stays unfortunately A loan with a nice fee and no option to buy is the best we can hope for
He’d come here if Liverpool wanted him to and only accepted our bid. Wouldn’t put it past Gino to ask in return for a reduced transfer fee. Still pretty unlikely though, I admit.
Having listened to the Castles podcast... He says he can see why we might want to loan him out and then spends 5 minutes explaining all the things that could go wrong with it, how he'd be at the back of the queue and probably wouldn't get game time. Didn't make sense.
I'm not convinced he will go at the price we are likely to set. Covid will have left most clubs with cash flow problems, and the ones without like City can go and buy Messi. Spending £40m and another £20m in wages over the next 4 years is not the sort of investment I imagine many club FDs are all that comfortable about right now. When there is news of a vaccine and the gravy train starts again sure.
No he would not. The reports I've read on his situation recently have even stated that Liverpool want him to stay at Anfield this season, and the only reason they would let him go out on loan is if the player himself asked for the move to get more game time. I don't think Brewster will agitate for a move to the Champ again.
I think most people would agree that he is one of the few players we have who should be playing in the prem and is also probably not destined to be with us for more than 2 or 3 years at most. However For this season I think Sarr will stay unless we receive a bid that would allow us to sell him and replace him with a almost as good player (e.g sell for £50m buy another player for £20m end up with a £20m player for free ) he is desperate to go and we are not convinced that we would be able to get the best out of a disgruntled player (don’t think Sarr is like that) most likely to be cause by his agent I would guess I could see us loaning him out for all of the reasons stated in posts above (e.g. getting the **** kicked out of bim) Great thing is we will find out in a few weeks when we start the championship do we know what players are actually training at the moment ?
If we offered 1 trillion pounds for him to go on loan to us for one season, Liverpool would say yes. They would ask Brewster to go on loan to us for a year and develop in the Championship, and would be very grateful if he did. If you’re saying we won’t cut enough off the transfer fee to make it worth it for Liverpool, then that’s a sound argument. If Rhian would point blank refuse to join a Championship team despite Liverpool’s insistence, then fine again. But clearly there is a point at which a deal could be done. It depends how much they want Sarr.
I don’t disagree with your points, but I couldn’t see us spending £20m on a player. I’m struggling to think who we could buy as a championship club for that much, and whether we’d be getting great value for money spending that much on a player willing to plate in the championship.
fair point , problem we have if we let Sarr etc go is we need to replace with prem standard players not championship standard , so guess your either going for slightly older looking to play rather than sitting on the bench or talented youngster that hasn’t quite made it yet
Ta-ra to Sarr? Liverpool prepared to meet the £40m asking price according to The S*n. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/foot...twitter&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1598737046
Well it is The S*n......so I'd take it with a pinch of salt right now......but if he does leave, along with all the others touted as going.....I think you can say goodbye to any realistic chance of promotion. But we'd have paid off some debt I suppose, which will be great. Ironically, the board chased Sarr all last summer, signed him for a big fee £30m.......took their eye off the ball on other areas of the team which cost them relegation. Sell Sarr for £40m, make £10m on the deal, but lose £135m on Premier League income......well done. Good business.
