2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

Sky started pushing the “Big 7” last pre season to include Newcastle. They just go where the money is.

You make money to if you are one of the golden children mate - its an eco system of an economy, involving entertainment, exposure, profile, marketing and commercial revenue.

The reason why Utd are pushed despite being in the doldrums is purely and simply down to customs.

Moyes will also consider the fact, holding on to Declan rice for 2 more years, doubled his price. We don’t really want to be buying 2 centre backs this summer, with everyone else we need to do

In regards to Moyes I mean more the fact in getting other players ready to fill his boots if he goes.

Hello!

That's just a positive nothing article - all articles on us are, good or bad - but it is probably also closer to the mark than people might admit.

I can't see us being anything other than "aggressive" in the market this summer, and these Yanks did not move us into that gleaming edifice by the river only to populate it with the likes of Doucoure, Calvert-Lewin, and Harrison.

If we are going to be turning over a lot of the squad - and that's inevitable given their contract situations and general mediocrity unbecoming of an ambitious club - then Branthwaite would be a player, like Pickford, to build around. Pay him what he's worth. Make him our highest-paid outfield player if needs be. But we need to keep quality and send out a statement at all levels of the club, one of which is: we don't sell to rivals.

I think him being left out of England squad will have a bigger impact than we think.

There's one England game before start of the new season. If he's not in that squad it's very likely he'll be looking for move imo.

He's 24 for next year's World Cup. As far as I can see the only reason Colwill & Quansah are picked ahead of him is they're playing for RS/Chelsea and in Europe.

Him and Guehl should be England's centre halves for years to come.

If he is looking for a move I'd refuse to accept anything from the PL and let him off to Madrid to play with trent.

He is by some distance better than burns, quansah and guehi. Even that bug eyed beaut in charge of England will recognise that eventually

England managers being paid by rat cliff at United not to pick him so he can get him to United on the cheap.
