There is lots of things stopping us Zat, namely the umpteen massive and much richer clubs that will be after him.
They are clearly agreeing to sell him. As have given permission for Man United to agree terms.What does? They haven't done anything!
Haha thats not how it works it hasn't worked like that for 20 years or more! United will have sounded out his agent about whether he's interested and what he wants and got all that straight before they waste time bidding for him all summer only to find out he doesn't want to go thats what happens with literally every transfer!They are clearly agreeing to sell him. As have given permission for Man United to agree terms.
To say that you have to guarantee that he'd stay injury free. A second points deduction would possibly be north of ten points. Given we have little to no money as it stands to strengthen the squad. That could be a bridge too far. Cash in while we can and hopefully start the season with a clean slate.The number of points having this lad at the back would save us next season far outweighs any points deductions we may be given. Absolute madness to sell him for the sake of PSR imho.
While I agree with the sentiment of keeping and developing promising young players, there are hard realities and challenges we face. For example, selling Onana does not, in my view, mean we have a lot to spend. That money will likely barely get us under this next PSR, if that. I still see us needing to work with frees and loans for this season. Consider the article excerpted and linked below as to our PSR position. Players also have ambition and at some point wish to move on, or demand wages we cannot pay. How attractive is an Everton team, to someone like Wharton for example, that has flirted with relegation the past few seasons, faces potential point deductions, etc., and plays Dyche-football?The likes of John Terry and Rio Ferdinand were global names when they played for England.
Branthwaite can be the same.
We're talking about keeping him another season. Only. But why only one more season?
Many disagree but if said he is not for sale at ANY price and then sold Onana most people would prefer that.
If then, we used those incoming funds and made a bid for Wharton (yes im repeating myself) would that not encourage Branthwaite to stay, and stay longer?
Pickford--Branthwaite--Wharton will be the starting spine of the England team for the next few years. Why can they not be 3 of our starting spine?
The ONLY way to compete at the top is to build a team to compete at the top. You do not do that selling your best young players.
To rebuild we need to sign MORE young players. Look at United, all you hear about them is Mainoo, Garnacho and Hojlund.
We have to target either the Wharton's or the Chermiti's and grow -- but around those players and Branthwaite.
The takeover means bidders will see a totally different set of accounts if we sell Branthwaite. A major asset being sold during a takeover is not normal.
If the takeover goes through soon and the new owners have money to put into the squad then perhaps we can hold onto Branthwaite?
Selling him certainly doesnt give me confidence in new ownership.
Literally in the premier league rule book. They have to have written consent from his current club to approach him/his agent with terms. The fact it is being reported as agreed terms, means they have that consent.Haha thats not how it works it hasn't worked like that for 20 years or more! United will have sounded out his agent about whether he's interested and what he wants and got all that straight before they waste time bidding for him all summer only to find out he doesn't want to go thats what happens with literally every transfer!
My gripe is if he pushed for the move. I want him ti have been desperate to stay a year but the situation meant we had to cash in. If he pushed for the move I will be gutted, especially to them skanksPeople are also ignoring the fact that he probably wants to leave and earn 5 times the money he's earning here at a club that actually competes for trophies.
It also shouldnt be overlooked that its just the media who have said he has agreed terms.Literally in the premier league rule book. They have to have written consent from his current club to approach him/his agent with terms. The fact it is being reported as agreed terms, means they have that consent.
Yeah of course thats exactly how it works teams spend months bidding for a player and then sit down with his agent and find out he wants 10 times more they can afford or just has no interest in coming. You keep telling yourself that lad.Literally in the premier league rule book. They have to have written consent from his current club to approach him/his agent with terms. The fact it is being reported as agreed terms, means they have that consent.
Rule T1
I dont know about push, but I would imagine hes suggesting he really fancies it.My gripe is if he pushed for the move. I want him ti have been desperate to stay a year but the situation meant we had to cash in. If he pushed for the move I will be gutted, especially to them skanks
Everton (branth) agreeing terms:They are clearly agreeing to sell him. As have given permission for Man United to agree terms.
