2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[GoldenToffee]

Couple of things:
1. Naively hoped we wouldn't need to sell our gold once again.
2. Naively thought that the stadium might be enough to keep him for another 18 months.
3. There goes our rock solid defence - adding Keane / Holgate or Godfrey alongside Tarkowski probably costs us 15 points next season. If we don't add a huge number of extra goals we're in huge trouble.
4. He's been pushed out by the club that obviously needed to make big money to avoid further points deductions - I bet we still end up getting punished.
5. Cannot blame him at all for wanting to leave, and especially not blame him for accepting a 300% pay rise and move to a team playing in Europe and a genuine sleeping giant.
6. Southgate has a lot to answer for - utter scum.

Another sad chapter in our history.

Unhappy reading this morning. I think I would take a 3 point deduction to keep him for sure

“Sorry guys, you can’t have agreed terms we haven’t given you permission to speak to him. The price to do that stands at 80m. Your move, we are talking to Carlo in 2 hours”

We’re absolutely skint and need the money inn asap. United know this.

We are definitely not skint. We are hamstrung by arbitary FFP rules.

 

[Cjplennon]

Name a club that sells its best player every year and stays in the Premier League?

Everton. Although our best players are only ever any good once in a blue moon.

We are definitely not skint. We are hamstrung by arbitary FFP rules.

We have been literally kept afloat by 777 loans for months.

We are also skint - at least until there’s some clarity with the takeover.

 

[Bilko]

Anybody thought,the lad would possibly want to go ??. I'm sure he is ambitious and wants to win trophies, not doing that here.
We are not really in the driving seat here.

 

[Cjplennon]

Seen people spending the £70m already on twitter. We won’t spend all that money regardless of owner because these PSR rules don’t allow us to

Not aure how these stupid made up rules work but if the cut off is 30th June. Perhaps we are into a new cycle after that so could reinvest after that cut off?

That’s because Moshiri chose to take loans from them rather than pay the bills himself. Not because he literally has no money.

Thats all choices made by Moshiri, he has plenty of his own cash if he wanted to pump it in. He has just chosen to take loans instead.

Everton

 

[Evertonthat]

Would love to keep him but everyone has a price. Jarrad's is £80M. If utd pay the price then we have to move on and bring in some more young talented players and go again. Nobody's irreplaceable, but it's a shame if we only get 1 full season from the lad.

 

[allen]

Yes - but I didn’t say Moshiri has no money. I said Everton has no money.

 

[MikeH72]

Yes - but I didn’t say Moshiri has no money. I said Everton has no money.

But he owns the club so that’s the same thing isn’t it?

 

[allen]

It doesn’t change the fact we’re presently skint.

 

[allen]

But he owns the club so that’s the same thing isn’t it?

No.

If he gives us no money we have no money.

You can argue about responsibility, but I’m talking about demonstrable fact.
