£20m for a 20 year old top 6 club striker with England U caps appears worryingly reasonable, especially from this club given we have had our fingers burned by them before. Thus...

What's wrong with him?

RH stating striker is priority and (what I am guessing is) the club's move to youthful players makes this seem more likely than even Benhrama.

All depends on the “buy back” clause...!!

Seems to me Liverpool can’t quite make up their mind whether he’s going to develop into a top player or not..!!

Ah yes. I wondered what caveat they would stick in the deal to make it commercially worthless.

I know some are of the view he may go Sheffield Utd but he may be attracted by the good younger players being brought in and also the Club commitment to having a Category One Football Academy and possible future prospects.

Sorry to hear you say that. Is that your opinion or ITK?

Liverpool supporters seem to rate him as a great natural finisher, but perhaps a lot to do to develop the rest of his game...this reminds me of Gayle. He also had a serious injury not that long ago. There is talk Liverpool are willing to sell to finance the Thiago deal, but of course it could just be talk. A club our size is unlikely to be able to fund a move for a proven top-flight striker, or attract one, so I guess a risk has to be taken somewhere, or it's another loan.

With Bats already signed it would take the pressure off of Brewster if he does sign and he would hopefully have space and time to develop.

That's a good point and one in our favour, I suspect.
By bringing in a group of good young players, there's a chance to build something longer lasting if we can hold on to them after they've shown their worth in the PL.
With Eze and assuming Ferguson will recover fully from his injury, we've made a good start. MItchell has shown some promise and Jairo is developing. Brewster would be a good addition imo as would Downes in due course. Also if the "young CB" materializes we could be well on the way.

I can't see anyone agreeing to buying Brewster for £25 million with a £35 million option for them to buy him back. The risk outweighs the potential profit. The buy-back needs to be at least double the transfer fee.

He looks to have great potential though.

 

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Jairo is the player that I really hope pushes on this season. Alongside Zaha he was one of the standout players for me in preseason showing a great range of passing and he can compete for PL's biggest hair.

As per PeterEagles question...is this statement just your opinion or do you know something specific about the move?

Looks like he was spot on. Wilder said in his presser that they are in talks with Liverpool regarding Brewster on loan.

we could learn a thing or two from whoever does their contracts.

Any signing that pushes Benteke further down the pecking order is a good one. It may help him jump before he's pushed. For a player that's so poor form-wise and unloved he has a rather strange affliction to want to 'repay the faith shown in him' by CPFC, which confuses the hell out of me.
