2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[AndyRJ]

being skint doesn't always man giving people away, gaurantee he wouldn't go for anything less than 60m.

we were skint when we sold gordon and still got 40m and he wasn't anywhere near as important as branthwaite

Yes, but we wanted £60m for Gordon and as proven by the Newcastle documentary they knew we were skint and knew we would give up eventually if they held out long enough.

They have a massive worldwide following which I think probably covers a lot of their terrible transfer dealings!

Also have 2nd or 3rd highest revenue in the world.

Never seen 60m quoted and even jf we did that's just playing silly buggers

Plenty of stories knocking about from when Chelsea were interested/ bidding.

Then in the Newcastle documentary we were apparently pushing for £50m plus £10m add-ons but Staveley wanted to play 'hardball' and they simply waited for us to break and accept less.

They will sell for more mate, guaranteed they aren't run like a skip fire.

It does have shades of Pienaar mind, was always a bad move for the lad in my opinion.

Oh I'd have him back in a heartbeat. Not going to happen but one can dream

 

[Eggs]

how on earth do they hold the aces when the player is ours under a long contract?

we needed money when we sold gordon and still got a valuation that suited us, again he was nowhere near as important as branthwaite is

….in normal circumstances that would be the case, but the point being discussed is if we’re desperate to raise funds. The bonus will be if there’s a bidding war.

Can you imagine the media frenzy if he played for the RS?

….I’d be very confident in my bet on him making the Euro squad but on the down side he wouldn’t be 20-1.

First time I've seen any sort of a struggle from him was in the first half with the fluid movement of the Palace forwards, recovered his composure and was good in the 2nd half.

Another learning experience

Yep, thought he was back to his dominant self 2nd half.

Another learning experience

He was getting too close to eze, looked really uncomfortable

 

[Goodisongang]

Eze bummed his arse off in the first half but second half he was back to his best

 

[Tel001]

Not for me mate, we made a modest profit on what we paid, before you take into account what we sold him for.

He was our best player and as such, you need to be compensated on how much it would cost you to replace your best and most influential player.

Like i say he was worth far more to us then £50 mill, was furious.

We made a modest profit because we over paid when we signed him, as we love to do

 

[Eggs]

….I don’t think he got booked today which means he should be available for United.

I hope he withdraws from the U21 squad.

 

[pfim]

Today was a reminder that he’s just 21 years old.
