Realistically, the majority of players will pick whoever pays them the most.

No, that doesnt mean they will join a crap club just cos they offer more.

But United for example are considered a very big club and they are very much a step up from Everton, currently.

They occasionally play in the CL, most of the time Europe, they go deep in cup comps and they offer a level of exposure that yes you guessed it, gets you them dollar, dollar bills.

In short, I think its silly to assume you should only move to a club which wins trophies.

Soz Yobo.

But I will still be sad if he joined a club that doesnt really compete, hes a very, very good footballer and he deserves to win the lot.

Goes back to my earlier comment about being the change you want to see in the world. Fine for the public; different expectation for them it seems.



I'm sure they'll retort with stories about the work they put in to get where they are...but, "pressure is a privilege".
 
Seems this Jim Ratcliffe fella is a terrible business man, and knows nothing about football. Slabhead in exchange for Brainthwaite. Does he dream this crap up or just terrible journalism. I dont even think Everton would go for that deal... maybe slabby along with 70mil + them paying his wages until 2025 could get a little interest.
Surely only hard cash will do the deal with our FFP situation anyway.

I would take maguire with money. He would be a good signing for us. Straight swap no chance

Yep why stay with us when you go to a ‘bigger (or more Prestgious club in the general football fans mind’), win trophies, be paid more - I don’t want to lose him but it’s a no brainier. It’s just unfortunate that that’s where we are as a club which is the reality of the situation.

He came from Carlisle. He’s never professed to be a life-long blue as far as I know. He’s conducted himself well while representing the club.
I’d love for him to stay but the reality of our situation makes that unlikely. You just hope that in an age of g**sh*te mercenaries, he continues to conduct himself with dignity and if he goes, he speaks highly of us and his time with the club.

He also claimed Declan Rice was overhyped and overvalued only to go on as anyone with a basic understanding of football would have known, have an outstanding season and be shortlisted for player of the season. Anyone with such a poor judgement of a player like that with so much tape to review is difficult to take seriously. There was a season West Ham could have finished 4th until Rice got injured and missed several games. Their performance levels and results duly took a bit hit. Just a minor clue of how good a player he is without even needing to watch him play every week.

The reality is anyone could make a video of any centre back making mistakes perhaps with the exception of Saliba this season - I don't think that video would be too long, but certainly the likes of Martinez who has been OWNED aerially and physically in countless games embarrassing himself in the process or Maguire continually playing opposing players onside resulting in countless chances being created and goals scored because he's terrified of being skinned for pace.

Stones used to dive in too much early on in his career. The exhurburance of youth. The good ones grow out of it and Branthwaite is one of the good ones.

As people have mentioned he's arguably further ahead in his performance levels at this point in his career than the likes of Stones, Ferdinand and maybe even JT. He may regress or not continue to develop but again for anyone with a basic understanding of football, a 21 year old left footed centre back who is tall, quick, strong and comfortable on the ball with the performances Branthwaite has put on tape in both the Premier League and Eredivisie will demand a high transfer fee.

Everton have the 4th best defence in the league this season. Perhaps he would be better served assessing the facts and trying to work out how/why a team like Everton who defend for long periods in every game have such an excellent defence. Hey maybe it's just luck over 35 games?!
