Rhian Brewster

[Maharajkumar of Vizianagram]

Starting a thread in the hope/anticipation that he'll turn into a mainstay for us, and then we'll need one anyway.  Here's all his touches from his first two Swansea appearances.  He's quite rusty in the first one, but miles better in the second one where he also finished nicely with his left foot.

 

Looks like a classic number 9 with a good touch and some pace, rather than a more rounded forward who can play in a fluid front three.

 

Admittedly this might be because almost all I know about how he plays is from these two clips.

EDIT:  It won't let me put the second one in the same post?

Someone feel free to post it in one of their replies to this highly successful thread.

good thread; I reckon it will soon gain traction

[Maharajkumar of Vizianagram]

You're rubbish.

Watch it you c****.  He was quite good.

I also had ambitions of quoting some posts about his performances from a Swansea forum, but after having done a tour of three of them I've discovered that their forums are dead and whatever little discussion there is on them is conducted by observably thick, presumably inbred c****.

Well I’m completely up to date and have been for hours

 

You can test me

Feels like that will ultimately count against him.

[Maharajkumar of Vizianagram]

Yes, to be fair, I'm not actually convinced he's that good or that he'll make it with us, but I've adopted him as one of my pet players to follow just in case.

 

I mean FFS, he scored 8 goals in three matches at the pointy end of an U/17s World Cup!

 

If a Brazilian did that, I would probably assume he was too good to bother signing with us.

 

(Before we got dead good, obviously.)

[Falconhoof]

He reminds me of a young Fabio Borini

If you were really up to date, you'd know I just lied.  It was a hat-trick in the QF, a hat-trick in the SF and a goal in the final.  7 in 3, and another one earlier in the tournament for a Golden Boot winning 8 in total.

 

But you didn't, did you?

Anyone else thought he might be dead on seeing the thread title?

Looking at this list of other golden boot winner, I only recognize the names Vela and Fabregas in the last 20 years or so

Oh missed him

 

Regardless, the list isn't that promising

No, just injured.

It crossed my mind. What does that say about us ?

No you've been excellent in keeping my spirits up while this thread was lagging.  Thank you, Molby.

My thinking was “Aritro’s not going to start a whole new thread to say groin strain and Bryant just died so someone else probably has too”

[Bogman]

RIP Bryant.

Crystal Tipps and Alistair.

Is the 2009 Borja, Borja Baston?

street violence, i'd have presumed, because of my institutional racism.

I did an institutional racism in my office by insisting only Kiss FM was allowed on and not Magic FM.

 

We’re all on a journey Mr Hoof.

Fave Stevie song. At the moment it’s Golden Lady for me, but it’s usually Higher Ground.
