Doesn’t matter how many are interested. If we don’t want to sell then we don’t have to. Reports are we have placed a 40m price tag on him. Would drive him there for that. But if not he’s here next season.Cant see us keeping brooks - too many clubs interested
Agreed....everything, and in this case, everyone is negotiable.Doesn’t matter how many are interested. If we don’t want to sell then we don’t have to. Reports are we have placed a 40m price tag on him. Would drive him there for that. But if not he’s here next season.

Brooks wide right in a proper front 3 with overlapping full backs would be a position which really suits him.
Wide right in a 4 man midfield is a waste of his talents but so would playing centrally in a 4 man midfield.
It’s not wide v central which is the issue, it’s about the freedom the formation allows him.
Eddie’s teams are (sorry were) more fluid than 442 quoted but the defence gets exposed when wide players like brooks and king were expected to track back to help defend. Brooks did it well when we beat palace in 18/19 when he helped mark Zaha out of the game but not always the case.Some of his best performances came in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Playing wide, with freedom to come inside as the formation was fluid and the three did move around and had freedom to double centrally or out-wide.
Some claimed it was a simple 4-4-1-1 or even 4-4-2, but it wasn’t.

He’s an utter w*****r if he tries to force his way out. We’ve paid his wages for a year!Depends if brooks wants to force his way out. Seen what happens when players don’t want to stay. I would sell for sure at £40m - although that’s cheap vs likely grealish fee

The flip side is that he’s had his wages cut by as much as 50% despite not having the same opportunity to put it right compared to his teammates.He’s an utter w*****r if he tries to force his way out. We’ve paid his wages for a year!
No we didn’t, the insurance company did. And as for Brooks owing us another year at least (your comment above), no he doesn’t, he doesn’t owe us anything. He is no different to any other employee in any other business, he does a job, he gets paid. And like any other employee in any other business sometimes people get sick (or injured in this case) that’s life.He’s an utter w*****r if he tries to force his way out.
