Sky Sports News says he's signing for Sheffield United today.:shootself

(Not really, but I keep expecting to see a post like this to kill our enthusiasm.)

You’re right.

Although, like a lot of Bournemouth players, he was a bit shitehouse last season and failed to make the staring 11 on a number of occasions.

If Ajax are going to give us good money for Jahanbakhsh, it makes sense to bring in this guy.

He is faster than Ali-J, left footed and has an eye for goal. He can score direct free kicks and is a threat from shooting outside the box.

How many players do we currently have who you’d back to score from outside the box? Not a lot.

Him and Rhian would give us an excellent chance of top 10.

I know some people don't like the idea of having Brewster potentially on loan, but for me football is largely all about the here and now. If he came on loan and did a good job (ultimately aiding his development for Liverpool) I have no problem with that. We would just then next summer need to look again for another forward.

It seems almost every summer we're looking for a striker in one way or another, so whether Brewster came on loan or permanently I wouldn't mind. Plus, if it was a loan and didn't work out we're not stuck with a player who wasn't that successful. In hindsight I wished the deals to bring Ali J and Locadia had been loans, then at least we could have sent them back!

Not sure about Wilson though.

Then it begs the question, why not sign a forward now rather than next season? Just seems like delaying a decision and not very forward thinking.

I’m holding out hope we’ll get Brewster on a permanent deal with an agreement Liverpool have first option.

Let’s see what happens. Fans forum tomorrow I believe. So something may happen today or tomorrow.

I'm not saying a permanent deal wouldn't be good, but if Liverpool were to insist on a loan only, then I'd take that as opposed to scratching around last minute for a bargain bin deal from what's left. As you say tomorrow's forum (for once) might be quite interesting and actually worth tuning in to!

This.

If Brewster comes in on loan, I’d want him as backup to Connolly (who needs development minutes) and Maupay of course (who he’d be back up to anyway).

If we sign him permanently, I’m not bothered about him grabbing Connolly’s development time.

As you say, the next 32hrs or so should be exciting. I’ve just got a hunch that the club have at least one rabbit in the hutch that they’re going to release to fans for a ruddy good stroke.

Historically I’m not sure that happens although we say it every year

if as looks likely we play 3 5 2 , Maupay, Connolly and whoever else we get in will get plenty of game time.

I could get very excited about this but I’m not going to! I am scarred by too many striker disappointments :smile:

In addition to this, If we had him pon loan and he went back, BUT we had a good season finishing 10-12th for example, it makes us a more promising prospect for the next signing, strikers like F1 drivers have egos . . . .

Yes, but if he had a very good season, scoring 12 goals, and Liverpool asked for him back, would we then launch a campaign to 'free' him?

Course not, we are Brighton, we would meekly shrug our shoulders and pop and NSC and moan about Brext, Covid and why we did not SIGN a striker

But can he score a bicycle?
