I don't think that anyone will dispute the fact that he has done a decent job but your original post said "I think the club has handled our business in the Premier League perfectly" and it was the word "perfectly" that I was disputing and I most certainly dispute your phrase that "given the evidence that we are still in the Premier League, we clearly didn't need to replace the departed/injured players at that time" as many will agree that we scraped through the year that we had no fit strikers more by luck than by judgement Yea I get that.. I said "perfectly" because our goal for each season so far is to stay in the premier league and our investments into the squad have done that. Of course there is always a dodgy buy but every club in the country makes dodgy buys. Edited by SurbsEagle (21 Sep 2020 1.59pm)

True. I wonder if we will get another apology from Sky. Quite like watching them backtrack :-)

For those who don't understand a buy back clause doesn't mean we have to accept Liverpool bid it essentially means if we were to accept a bid for him from say arsenal in the future Liverpool would have the right to trigger a 37 million bid if they wished then it would be up to the player. Premier league rules forbid purchase and sale of player in the same window so its unlikely they will do this for extra money. The effect of the clause depends on what the clause says. You suggest that the clause only bites should we decide to sell; and that Brewster has the final say on whether he goes to e.g. Arsenal or back to Liverpool. I am not sure that is right. The clause could be far more geared in Liverpool's favour. It is possible (i.e. certain in this case!) that the clause would be so heavily geared that Brewster would have to go back to Liverpool when they call for him. The player does not have a say and is powerless. Thus, nothing more than a glorified loan deal with Liverpool remaining the parent club, although I cannot imagine we would agree a deal without a decent minimum "own" period (3 seasons?) and maximum "recovery" period (5 years?). While you say they can't turn him in a year, why would they? The only party who would not benefit from that would be Liverpool.

While you say they can't turn him in a year, why would they? The only party who would not benefit from that would be Liverpool. I can't see how that would be legal. Brewster is a party to the contract and it has to be fair to be legal. It maybe that Liverpool have first dibs but if he doesn't want to go back there I can't see how they can enforce that.

Can you imagine the kind of goal return Brewster would need for Liverpool to want him back in a few year’s time? We’d have to be practically pushing for a Champions League place!

Can’t believe we are having a protracted conversation about a non existent contract with a hypothetical clause for a player that we haven’t put a bid in for. At least with the discussion on the Sorloth thread he is still technically speaking our player, even though we don’t know what his contract says either so we are no better off there!
