One more debate on your final sentence. If Brewster's 11 goals in half a season proved he shouldn't be playing in the Championship, then surely Tammy's 23 goals for Bristol City would have been stronger evidence of the same? He still needed another season there for Villa before Chelsea deemed him ready for their first team.
Again you are comparing the players but not how far each player is/was away from a starting X1 with their respective clubs. Tammy is still effectively a fringe second/third choice forward at Chelsea after a few seasons in the Championship and couple of prem seasons. Brewster has had a lot less exposure on loan and now Klopp is including him in the Liverpool squad for 20/21. My point all along is Brewster is rated higher than the Championship by his club for now he will not be loaned out to us or anyone else in our league. As for Tammy, he will end up at Fulham or West Ham eventually as Chelsea strengthen to win the prem.
You may well be right about where Tammy ends up, but although Tammy is now certainly behind Timo Werner at Chelsea, he was their first choice striker for most of last season. He made 47 (33 starts) appearances and was their top scorer with 18 goals. They obviously don't think he was good enough for the long term, hence signing Werner, but they believed at the start of last season that he deserved a chance.
There's no doubt that Abraham was closer to being a starting 11 player last season than Brewster is now. If Brewster stays at Liverpool, there is zero chance he gets anything like 47 appearances. If Tammy stays at Chelsea as backup, I'd bet good money that he'll get way more minutes on the pitch than Brewster will.
At the end of the day, it looks like he is staying at Liverpool and so you were correct that he's not coming back here. Why you keep trying to argue that Tammy and Brewster aren't comparable I don't know.
