2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[roy vernon]

Makes sense for both parties really, he gets a pay rise and we, after tying him down to a long term contract, get a much better price for him when he is sold. He knows that we will sell him in the short to medium term with or without a new contract.

Regardless of what happens with the money after, if he carries on like he's started this season he's miles north of 40m. That's Gordon money, and I'd argue Branthwaite has much more potential, plus plays in a more important position where it's much, much rarer to find players at 21 who look to have the complete skillset. Pacy 21 year old wingers are ten a penny but 21 year olds who are ready to play centre back in the Premier League with years and years to grow and improve are a very valuable commodity. Closer to the Fofana number than the Gordon number I'd say.

I agree that he's probably worth more than 40mil, but I was taking into account the fact that we will be desperate to get money in, and other clubs will know that.

Prepare theyself for a most underwhelming buy out clause.
£75m unless the offer is made on a day with a ‘Y’ in it, when the clause automatically drops to £25m

He gets us

 

[d34noj]

He gets us

He gets us a big transfer fee when inevitably sold.

He is still young and inexperienced. He will go through bad patches as well during the season and will probably get crucified on here.

Spending a few years here will not hinder his career in any way. He will get to play every week , gain consistently and in time if we can't match his ambition then he will leave.

Wasn't it reported that Pickford had a relegation release clause or something?

 

[siddharth]

Branthwaite should get reassurances that he will not be replaced by Keane at the drop of a hat.

Nope

Good point, if Everton, can keep him that would be something.

The take over by who ever and when it happens will define what Everton, can acheive.

Things can only get better!

Yeah and apart from that stupid five years or so that started Koeman time where we lashed huge wages at everyone this is one thing the club actually does well
Keep the talent happy on fair (relative to the league) wages, long contracts and no release clauses
