Brooks hit the bar just before he went off with a great effort. He won’t be playing 2nd tier football next season. We said that about Allen... Different kettle of fish. Brooks will move - and a good club will get him for a good price with Bournemouth going down. I think he'd be a regular starter for any one of; Wolves, Leicester, Man United, Arsenal & MAYBE Spurs. The move I'd like to see him make though is Everton. He'd definitely start there because it's a weak area in their squad - playing under Carlo Ancelotti would do wonders for him as a player. They are a safe bet to stay in the league, and they actually have a good chance to join Wolves/Leicester as a team that can kick on a challenge the top four places with Ancelotti at the helm. 8th place in the league is likely to be a qualifying position for the Europa League this season, and Everton are currently only 2 points away from that at present |

Everton IMO. Decent sized club (dare I say it; a sleeping giant), he'd have no competition from Gylfi & would learn a hell of a lot more from Ancelotti than Howe. |

There's is a fair bit of competition in those wide forward / attacking mid positions - Gylfi as you pointed out, but also richarlison, bernard, iwobi, walcott and probably a couple of others i've forgotten. I'm not saying he couldn't get in front of them, but we could see him in and out of the team for a while |

In my opinion Brooks is better than Iwobi & Walcott, will certainly become better than Bernard. Richarlison plays on the left, and I think Brooks could play on that right hand side and fit well in that team

He deserves and is good enough to play top flight football but nothing is certain. |

I’d love to see him at Newcastle. Get a season in before the money comes in and hopefully be one of the areas that won’t need strengthening when they start splashing out.
I know a Newcastle fan that’s convinced they’re signing Mbappe. Whatever he’s on I’ll have some. An Mbappe-Brooks link up sounds tasty though.

But surely he’d be too big of a financial gain for Bournemouth to keep him at Championship level? I know teams are possibly likely to spend less, but I don’t think Brooks would attractive a ridiculous fee either. |

Newcastle is not a bad shout - mind you I’m not convinced on Steve Bruce being his coach. If they got a Pochettino in or something like that then perhaps that would be a brilliant move for Brooks |

sheff utd even - chris wilder is looking like a top coach and they might have european football next season so will have to extend their squad.

Wilder only started him in 8 games in his breakthrough season, not sure he's a Wilder-type player.

He signed a 4 year contract when they bought him for £10m and then a new deal less than a year later when he'd established himself as a regular. He's not on low wages, and even low PL wages are crippling for Championship clubs. Maybe their Russian backers will do a Stoke and keep pumping cash into a sinking ship though. |

How much is he on a week? 25k? Parachute payments could cover that until such time they get promoted or things settle down and clubs start spending again. |

This website lists his salary as 20k per week - www.spotrac.com/epl/afc-bournemouth/payroll/ So a bit less than I thought to be fair |

He's too good for the championship so I'd like to think a Premier league team would sign him.

Started in big games, like the early one vs Sheff Wednesday, and they looked much more threatening when Brooks was playing. He played wide or in a 10 role behind Leon Clarke a few times! |

Given they have possibly looked at their best of late when David McGoldrick was playing as a number 10, getting Brooks back in there might be the next step in the develop of their system.
When he was there before, the midfield 3 was much flatter so he often played in the front two.

Wilder only started him in 8 games in his breakthrough season, not sure he's a Wilder-type player. I think that's fairly misleading - wasn't he out for a ca. 3-month period with a hernia problem? He also didn't start to play regularly until a couple of months in as it was his first season of senior league football (i think his only previous senior involvement was a non-league loan stint). So when he did come through, and was fit, he started more often than not. |

If Sheff Utd manage to make Europe then they will need to add players to their squad, I'd be happy to see Brooks go there!

So when he did come through, and was fit, he started more often than not. That's just as misleading. Missed the middle third of the season but wasn't playing his way into regular starts when he was available. 3 consecutive starts in September but then just 2 more before being ruled out in December. Back at the start of March, started a few games in April, back to the bench for the final 3. 33 appearances in all comps, 16 of which were 25 minutes or less. 10 starts when you include the EFL Cup games. |

If United want him back now, for the money they will have to fork out, he won't be a bench warmer. Wilder is a very good coach, and could be a good move for Brooks.

Heard he was subbed off due to injury?! What happened? How bad does it look?

Heard he was subbed off due to injury?! What happened? How bad does it look? Didn't look like it was too serious. Fell to the ground and was rubbing his left calf. Think it was precautionary, as Harry Wilson has been coming on in his place for the last 4 or 5 games around the 60' mark. Hope so, at least ;-)

Not a chance he’ll be playing in the Championship, unless all the premier league managers collectively have a stroke. Better than Maddison, better than Grealish. If he hadn’t got injured along with half our f***ing squad we’d be mid table and he’d be getting a move to a top 4 club. This season has been a f***ing disaster.

I personally think he's the man to get you back up. |
