2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Tony’s Carp]

End of the day there's very little point worrying about the precise fees being reported, every single journalist will guess a different number and we'll likely never know the precise truth.

12 goals and 11 assists last season can change a person's opinion

Yeah but we didn't sell on the back of that.

We sold him on the back of 2 goals and some fast running at Anflield.

 

[HTCHERO]

if we sold Branthwaite for 45 mil with addons taking the deal to around 60 mil how would you feel

Bad as we have a sell on clause

 

[Eggs]

I really like Branthwaite. He’s got an incredibly high ceiling, he’ll go to the top no doubt.

But at the minute he’s 21, goes to ground a little too easily and is untested at the highest level. He plays in a defensive team with a low block, which really isn’t this England side.

His time will come for England, this was always likely to be a tournament too soon.

….spot on. I think the England management team have watched him closely, clearly rate him but feel he’s not quite ready. It’s about opinion, I have no issue with that.

I had to laugh at some suggesting Utd have ‘had a word’ with Southgate and told him not to select Branthwaite. I’m actually quite happy he’s having the summer off, not forgetting he was on international duty this time last year and came back injured. He needs a break.

Agreed.

The fees of £60 million for Richie and £40 million for Gordon were fair.

we sold him when he was 21 years old and whilst he was a regular starter for us

his potential future value was significant

Southgate... enough said.

 

[LocalNative]

Agreed.

The fees of £60 million for Richie and £40 million for Gordon were fair.

And similarly I think £60-70m for Branthwaite is fair.

Not sure why some are expecting us to recieve a world record fee for a defender.

Ok spud, not worth us doing back and forth, we disagree and that's OK.

don't forget the english nationality premium tax that is also applied

 

[Carlito]

Richarlison

I think we properly had Tottenham's kecks down.

He's never a £60m player.

 

[tommytowne]

Who’s horse is it?

Our esteemed manager.
Said a few other things but probably to get rid of my lad!

 

[Marius57]

Genuinely didn’t think the club could be that stupid. Done some god awful stupid things over the last few years but this really tops it.

Think he's having a minor groin op as well. So if he does stay, best to get that done now, rest, recuperate and get ready for pre season.

 

[Blue peter]

This is going to be a big test for us in terms of how much we want to keep him. There’s market value of course with value precedents set previously with Stones, the dyke, and McGuire, but I sense Jim Radcliffe’s MU will be miserly with their offers.
