He's not there yet. Tell you what though, he's got all the tools. 

Until he's in I'm not interested.

[aRdja]

Not entirely fair as you’re just picking the worst players I’ve mentioned at least once. Van Dijk should be there... and Robbie Brady should take up the left back position.

Refresh my memory VVD?

I was the second person here after Stig who suggested we sign him. 

[Dr Nowt]

You're a good sport, Anies.

 

You do often drift over into JP territory, but it certainly has its own charm.

Good on you then. And definitely not like you to blow your own trumpet.

Never go JP.

Fair play aRdja - be it breakfasts or footballers, you're not afraid to put your balls on the table.

@Bjornebye’s XI would be worse IMO.

I keep my balls close to my chest.

Back in the bad old days of Hodgson, I thought David Nugent could do a job as an attacking reserve.

 

I also wanted Lee Cattermole, and still maintain that watching him run around kicking people would have been better entertainment than the cauldron of warm vomit we were served up instead.

Nugent looked out of place in a Championship side last night after coming on, and not in a good way.

True, but he had the world at his feet in 2010.

[Sugar Ape]

What do we reckon on him and Brewster for next season? Ready to stake a place in the first team squad?

 

I think both are good enough to get minutes here next year so, unlike maybe the likes of Curtis Jones and Camacho, don’t see the point in loaning them out.

 

I’m especially looking forward to seeing more of Brewster. Got to be the biggest young English talent alongside Foden.

[dave u]

From what I've heard Klopp and his staff think Brewster is brilliant and they might not sign another forward in the summer because they want to bring him through. In theory I like that as when you make promises to young players you can't then keep signing players to block their path.

 

Personally I always judge young strikers on Michael Owen when he was coming through. He's the barometer I use, and Brewster is nowhere near him in my opinion.

 

Happy to be proved wrong though.

[TheHowieLama]

Very few are at that level so young -- there are tons of great strikers who weren't.

 

[The Guest]

Bit harsh Dave.  Owen was probably the best 17/18 year old to have played the game in the past 20/30 years.

 

I think the problem he’s going to have is the style we play.  If he’s more of a Defoe type who’s seems to be an okay all round player who just bags loads of goals he might struggle at us. Goals are a lot tougher at this level and you need to still be contributing when they don’t come.  He doesn’t strike me as blisteringly fast, a firmino style workhorse or a Mané who could just dribble past players from any position.  The only way he breaks in really in my opinion is if he’s just that good at scoring goals he changes the way we set up/play to accommodate him.  He will have to be Michael Owen level to do that.

[Sugar Ape]

Owen won the Balon D’Or when he was 21, he sets an outlandishly high level for anyone to be as good as he was at 18.

 

What type of player does Brewster remind you of? He seems like a Sturridge style player to me. Decent pace and a good finisher. Maybe not as skilful but that may come.

[TheHowieLama]

I think Klopp will keep Origi.

 

As the #3 striker all Brewster has to do is contribute a little in what time he gets while he matures.

 

If the plan is to make him the first option off the bench he may not be ready.

 

As for Hoever - in that position (backup RB) he could be a good fit.

Also, I love me some Curtis Jones.

[Bruce Spanner]

We might just have a player here, THIS is filth!

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

He could be some player that kid.

[Paul]

The club reckon he’s the most talented of the entire current crop of young talent at Ajax, apparently.
