Don't know if it's been posted, they've just been talking about Jarrad on transfer talk, in fact his old manager Steven Presley has been waxing lyrical, of how good he can actually become, got some of the attributes we need at the back, good with both feet, to the extent, Presley is not sure if he's right or left footed, 6'4" tall, and fast, still only 17 and Bambi like at times, due to his size and age, but definitely very good prospect.

Surely his old manager should know which foot he uses? Or does he mean hes equally good with both?

I read this a couple of days before we signed him:

Steven Pressley has suggested to The Glasgow Evening Times that Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers and Neil Lennon’s Celtic should make bids for Carlisle United defender Jarrad Branthwaite.

According to The News and Star, Rangers and Celtic are interested in signing Branthwaite from Carlisle in the January transfer window.

A recent report in The Daily Mail claimed that Everton had a bid for the 17-year-old defender turned down by Carlisle in League Two in England, who want £800,000 as transfer fee for him.

Pressley managed Branthwaite at Carlisle, and the former Rangers and Celtic central defender believes that the Old Firm duo should make bids for the teenager.

Pressley told The Glasgow Evening Times: “Since leaving Carlisle I’ve had numerous phone calls about him from English Premier League and Championship clubs. He is on the radar of so many clubs down south, so it’s no surprise to me that Celtic and Rangers would be looking at him too.

“I haven’t heard from either side of the Old Firm yet, but if you are asking me if I think they should act quickly to get him during this window, then I would say absolutely.”

One for the future

Branthwaite is only 17 years of age, and he is still developing and progressing as a footballer.

The defender is not the finished article yet, but he is certainly a star of the future, and Rangers and Celtic could make a bargain deal if they are able to secure his services of £800,000 in the January transfer window.

"He is on the radar of so many clubs down south, so it’s no surprise to me that Celtic and Rangers would be looking at him too.”

“Whatever they pay for him just now, they will make 20 times that down the line. He’s that good.

“He’s got everything you need to be a top defender. He’s six foot four, he’s quick, and he can absolutely play.

“You wouldn’t know what foot is his preferred one, really, because he’s so comfortable on the ball.

“For me, he is a future England international. No question about it. That’s how highly I rate him. He’ll go to the very top of the game.”

”Some people might baulk at the transfer fee it would take to get him, and yes, you might not ideally want to pay that kind of money for a 17-year-old. But trust me, it’s the best investment they could make. Whatever they pay for him just now, they will make 20 times that down the line. He’s that good. For me, he is a future England internationalist. No question about it.”
