2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Milk]

Once you add the £22 million a year salary you're looking at North of £200 million over 5 years.

Cheap when you consider his goal return

This news just Joyce? Anyone know if the bobble has said anything about it?

 

[marsh]

Is he injured?

 

[Tel001]

But is that the old Everton, a new one is coming.

It’s in our DNA mate , nothing good happens to us … we have this blessing that we never go down but are also cursed that we can’t have nice things happen

Evertonians definitely didn't help old ladies cross the road in our collective past life

Joyce put that snippet in to his match report v Palace.
Mentioned that we also have an option to extend JB's contract by another year over & above 2027 so any buying club would have to pay handsomely for the privilege if they want to "own" him now or next year or 2026 and possibly even 2027.

Wonder if & when the Friedkins take control they call all the players together and outline their vision for the next 1-3 years?

The option was mentioned when he extended.

2027 + 1 year option.

Initiate whatever you want, he's still going next Summer.

Depends on how much appetite the Friedkins want to invest in the playing side.

Sign a couple of players like a Wharton or an Eze and perhaps he may fancy staying?

Why would this make him want to stay?

Please stop with this it's bizarre and means nothing.

Hope it's a ruse and he passes a late fitness test

I would love us to try everything to keep him but its about winning trophies and being successful for players. He can only do that at a select numbers of clubs all of whom could offer at least the same wage or more, and with that increased profile he’d probably earn more in sponsorship income. I’d love him to stay and be one of those unusual players who bucks the trend but the logic to move is irrefutable and easily top trumps those factors to stay you mention. He will go, just a matter of when (as long as he stays reasonably healthy)

And fixed price they agree on that he can go for best for both then

Its certainly not bizarre and it does mean something.

Many, many footballers like to play alongside their team mates for club and country.

In your cartoons maybe they dont?

Which clubs? Lets not forget as you say, theres only a limited number. Those clubs may also not consider him to be a certain starter.

And fixed price they agree on that he can go for best for both then

Why would that be a good thing for Everton?

They don't play football in my cartoons and Branthwaite isn't going to decide to stay at perennial relegation battlers Everton even we we signed two players who sit on England's bench. Keane once played for England remember. Pickford still does. Means nothing at all.
