Two threads.

No wag.

No showreel.

This could be the end of @statbrother on NSC

Yes please!!! Would be a fantastic acquisition. Would he count as a non-EU player now or still Home Grown? I don't imagine he has given up his UK passport?

HGP is not determined by Nationality

Jebus what a terrible best bits clip, first clip he bloody misses, first goal, they show about six times…

Meh

 

[Rambo]

Could be a decent prospect. Only 22 and some season in championship already. Step up on Connolly.

home grown due to him spending the required amount of time in english academies.

 

[Fran Sandaza 8 my hamster]

He has done it at international level for Chile.
Proper target man
Could be a great signing.

Everyone’s a critic.

But, you’re right.

Here’s a better one

Wouldn’t be surprised if he went the other way either on loan or permanently

 

[Farehamseagull]

Plays like a younger Glenn Murray and for that reason I'm in.

Really?! Brereton has proper pace, you could NEVER say our Glenn had pace even in his early 20’s!

Would be very pleased with this if true, have liked him since he broke through with Forest.

Hi about this https://youtu.be/dCboCjzJkC8

Or this https://youtu.be/VZQsbHTAZo4

Sign him up!

For anyone with an Athletic subscription this is a very good article about how he ended up playing for Chile.
(I'm not sure if it's free to view)

No need for a WAG photo as his Mum does a perfectly good job for us old farts.

This is the deal: you can have Ben for 20 million, as long as you throw in Khadra and van Hecke.
They've been absolute rubbish but we're very generous in the North-West.

Now I’m interested

He has a bit of that mercurial style that Glenn had and looks like a proper centre forward that can also play.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Talksport were talking about him going to Newcastle in January, not gonna happen unfortunately

 

[WhingForPresident]

Would be very happy with this, ticks most boxes in what we need.

 

[pb21]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooo

He's actually quite unusual. He looks like he has two left feet at times, when he's running, but he usually seems to come out of a tackle with the ball at his feet, still.
It has taken quite a while for him to fulfil his promise, but he is scoring instinctively now.
We don't want to lose him, but we have to be realistic.
I'd prefer a deal that kept him with us for the rest of the season because we do have an outside chance of promotion now, but I assume that wouldn't be on the cards.
