Anyone have a recent update on Brewster? Is he out for the season? And does he want to stay with the club or not as i know he was at the very least considering options.

Heres what i read "After a sensational WC U-20 Brewster wants to go to a club that will integrate him into the first team and give him the platform to make on his success. He has eyes on Dortmund as they will be set to loose a few players in summer and he feels will give him better opportunities. "
Sadly he is long term injured for now (till May'18).
I think with him not in foreseeable plans at LFC, he will look to move for better opportunities. LFC are looking for players and every tom and harry gets linked. With LFC looking to fight for top honors next season i feel opportunities for youngsters will remain restricted to cups and deadwood matches. I may add this seems to be the story for most bigger clubs. But i'd love to see wilson brewster and woodburn more in first team, whatever may be the risks and consequences. Faith and taking chances is what gave us the likes of gerrard, owen, Fowler and even recently TAA. we haven't had a player, a Mr. Liverpool that defines this club since ages.
Of course in hindsight many won't agree with me to waste a season trying to find out whether these young players have it or not and of course the senior proven players won't like one of them taking their spot either so yea football management is a Bi**h.
anyhow i do feel brewster, woodburn, wilson have enough talent to make it. but they need 10 good games.

If you’re good enough then you’re old enough. Phil Foden is a good example, Pep trusts him in big games like Chelsea last week and that was a big game as they are going for the league and we’re playing the champions. If these kids are good enough then I think Jurgen has shown he’s not afraid to play them. Just because Brewster has won an U17 WC doesn’t automatically make him ready for the first team unfortunately.

08 Mar 2018 15:58:26
Red GT-Foden came on in the 93rd minute!

08 Mar 2018 16:48:23
Foden played as starter agasint Basel and I belive he played 90'

08 Mar 2018 18:12:39
Mortolfc- He did play 90 minutes in a dead rubber against Basel you’re right but contrary to what RedGT claims he has not been trusted in big games for City, infact he’s barely stepped foot on the pitch in the premier league.

08 Mar 2018 19:01:52
Guardiola trusts his youth so much that in the recent game away at Burnley he only named six subs rather than put a youth player on the bench. Phil Foden played 1 minute against Chelsea.

09 Mar 2018 04:53:49
It is with all big clubs. No one really plays the youth. only smaller clubs play youth.
As for Guardiola if he was incharge of barcelona in 2006, messi would not have seen the light of the day.

{Ed001's Note - simply not true, Pep would have played Messi because he was the perfect player for the system. It is not a problem when you are Messi level, as you will always get a chance. The players who are not at that level, the likes of Suso, Origi, Solanke for instance, they are the ones who struggle for regular football. With no decent quality at reserve level, as teams send out so many players on loan there is no real top players at reserve level any more, youngsters need to be in the first team to make real progress.}

09 Mar 2018 12:52:21
Do you think limiting the amount of players teams can loan out would improve reserve level football and help youngsters develop more over a period of time rather than loan deals? Just interested as I’m not convinced that the loan system currently is very successful.

{Ed001's Note - personally I would prefer to cancel the loan system altogether as it is affecting lower leagues by tipping the balance of power towards teams that just happen to have a mate in a big club etc.}

09 Mar 2018 14:51:13
Cheers ed. Yes can’t be fair if teams get better players due to contacts with large clubs etc. Wonder as well if more younger players would break through at clubs if reserve teams were stronger all around. It may help to keep youngsters grounded too.

09 Mar 2018 18:24:19
Ed001 what do you make of Munich James loan for 2 years
And Costas 2 year loan move to juventus.

{Ed001's Note - in what way?}

09 Mar 2018 22:51:31
Maybe the loaning of players should strictly be for clubs that are in financial trouble?

12 Mar 2018 01:16:29
I think Can will develop to be a better player than he is today. That is why, Klopp wanted to keep him. His performances are not consistently good enough, but he has proven that he can be great at times. What I love about Can is his passion when he plays. Yes, he can give the ball away but at least he makes an effort to try to win it back. When he cuts out the mistakes and improve on his control, then he will be a massive player for any club. Physically, he's big and strong also. just a tad slow. Honestly, I feel that he's going to leave Liverpool. Good thing is, at least he will be leaving with dignity as he honoured his contract and has his right to choose the next path for his career.

07 Mar 2018 06:43:15
The club are struggling to persuade Rhian Brewster to stay at the club. He's keen on a move to Germany with Dortmund keen on him.
He believes he has a greater chance of breaking through in their set up and in all honesty taking my Liverpool hat off he's probably correct.

07 Mar 2018 09:59:36
he won't play for 8 months, he just had a terrible injury!

07 Mar 2018 10:33:06
Nostradamus- It still doesn’t take away from the fact he wants to leave.

07 Mar 2018 10:44:05
Where have you got this info?

07 Mar 2018 11:20:49
A source within the club.

{Ed002's Note - I told you about this months ago - I am not a "source" within the club.}

07 Mar 2018 11:25:07
It'd help his cause to break through if he could stay fit, two seperate breaks this season isn't it?

07 Mar 2018 11:35:47
But in some regions you are considered a sauce?

{Ed002's Note - A couple of bars in Chelsea, yes.}

07 Mar 2018 12:35:18
I haven’t got the info from you ed2,I have got this from someone within the club.

{Ed002's Note - That is fine - but it is far from new.}

07 Mar 2018 12:49:19
I’m just passing on what iv been told from a good source, if that backs up what you have said previously then fair play to you finding out earlier.

07 Mar 2018 13:21:08
Well goodbye and good luck.

07 Mar 2018 14:45:06
I hope we can keep hold of him, he looks a talent.

07 Mar 2018 14:47:02
To be fair a move to Germany could be very good. He could develop and stay out of the limelight a bit, he'd be watched like a hawk if he broke into our 1st team anytime soon.

What's his contract situation? Is he on a pro contract yet or would he move to Germany on a free (plus compensation ) .

We'd do well to sell him with a buy back clause and maybe get him back in a few years once he's developed a bit more.

07 Mar 2018 15:12:25
It makes sense from his perspective sadly. The Premier League is hyper-competitive, more than it has ever been before, and arguably the most competitive league in Europe. Younger players, unless they are truly spectacular, just don't get that many opportunities at the top sides in the Premier League - I think any youngster who had real ambition would be wise to look to Europe for more opportunities to develop, both as a player and a person, as they are facing a real uphill battle in the Premier League.

07 Mar 2018 15:23:05
I wonder if he could be used has part of a deal to sign Sessegnon?

07 Mar 2018 15:40:58
So Dub, he's said he wants to move to Germany to help his progress, and you suggest sending him to Fulham, in England?!

07 Mar 2018 15:47:38
Dub Jim-He wants to go to Germany not Fulham.

07 Mar 2018 16:26:27
No TIA im suggesting that if were gona lose a 17 year old whos done nothing in senior football, then we try and use him to get something we do want and someone who does want to play for us. Granted its very unlikely but all im saying is could be worth a try!

07 Mar 2018 18:51:58
Too early to tell with him.
We poached him from Chelsea.
If he goes, he goes.

08 Mar 2018 08:44:41
Exactly Ron, Solanke won the u-21's world cup and the best player in it and looks not completely ready, let alone ready to lead the line, this kid wins the u-17 world cup and thinks he should start games? its a bit ridiculous. I guarantee he will barley get a kick for the first team at Dortmund as well. That Man City kid, Sancho moved there for the same reasons and he is a much bigger talent than Brewester, i think he has played 1.5 games all season! As i said goodbye and good luck, he will need the luck part real bad!

08 Mar 2018 11:23:58
is there a max to the number of years you can loan a player? obviously not longer than his contract, but say he has 4 years left, can we loan him out for 3 years to the same club?

{Ed002's Note - You can give a loan which is renewable if everyone agrees. Else two years.}

08 Mar 2018 16:05:16
Nostradamus-Sancho has featured more times for Dortmund in the bundesliga then he would have for City in the premiership I can almost guarantee.
He’s featured in 6 games and started some and would have played more without injury.

06 Mar 2018 23:50:05
Ryan sessengon in the summer but staying on loan at Fulham for 2 year heard it hear first.

07 Mar 2018 02:25:47
Or did we here it here?

07 Mar 2018 15:25:58
Anyone been watching how well Robertson and TAA been playing?

Well, its a rumor site and I like it. As he wants to play and will not transfer to sit or play youth level. His 14 goals would be welcome and he, TAA, along with VVD would be very strong for 5-6 years at least.
