2023/24 Ben Godfrey

[GoldenToffee]

Absolutely hell of a move for Ben - unreal! Thought he'd end up at a newly-promoted or Championship club, never mind a Champions League one!

 

[Timbucktoo]

Well, that's that then. What's the fee?

Just over 10.5m including add ons. A good deal for us as we showed no interest in playing him. Good luck to him and I hope he gets his career back on the up.

Sad Godfrey is going, circumstances and injury worked against him.

Think he’s going to kick on away from here.

Played a blinder here Godfrey. Average player now going to play in Italy in a good team who are in Europe. Bet he can’t believe his luck.

Best for all involved. He’s not getting ahead of Branthwaite or Tarkowski, and the sale helps us massively.

Seemed a good egg.

Farewell Benjamin Bradley Trevor Timothy Godfrey, the love we shared was a lifetimes worth etc etc

Presuming Branthwaite is here come Sep mate.

Why wouldn't he be, nobody is paying £70-80m for him.

I hope he does, really likeable character, always done his best.

 

[Lobworm]

Good luck to the lad, never sulked, always gave his all, and he was also quite a nasty, snidey, barsteward at times ... I wish him well.

I'm sure he'll be pleased to hear this.

Love how mainland Europe players just walk through arrivals for everyone to see.

In England it's private exists, bundled into blacked out Mercedes vans and hidden in hotel for a few days.

Just seen another angle of this - interesting the guys picking him up just held up an A4 paper saying Atalanta like we might get at an airport!

….this weakens us defensively. Not massively but I think his departure weakens us. Saying that, with 12 months left on his contract, it’s a deal that’ll suit all parties. It won’t take much to utilise that money to make us stronger, Issa Kabore at City has been linked and I think he’d be a terrific addition.

It’s an almighty bonus that Kabore hasn’t got his own thread

 

[Dharma]

Excellent business.

Oddly his middle name is Matthew ..........

Make of that what you will.

Always thought of BG as a headless chicken crossed with a duracell bunny but can only wish him well
