Tbf, there's not much else to discuss
Selling a player is nothing like sacking a manager mate.
We need to reduce our wage bill not like for like replace or increase it.
We were over 90% of revenue with wages alone. That is unsustainable and shouldn't be what we aim for going forward. So replacing 150k worth of wages with 150-200k would be beyond stupid.

I cant believe that people think that when a club sells a player they have to pay them all the remaining wages.
Its burnt my head out.
Both sales seem to have some traction.

You really touch on a couple important things. With Stones, you got the benefit of his talent for 3 years. That time also increased his transfer fee when he got moved. If you move him before he did anything you get much less AND you have to spend transfer money on someone else and pay that guy higher wages too. The store Everton now shops in for talent has no guarantees. For a team with limited funds to use for transfers, I prefer to use it to fill roles that there isn't a young option to play already there.

I don’t understand why people are seriously advocating getting rid of branthwaite when in a couple of years time he could be worth 3 or 4 times what he is currently worth, and in his place they want a player who would cost 20m, is old enough that has zero sell on value, and will be on wages 5 times what branthwaite is on.
Everyone would then whinge we sign players who are too old and have no sell on value when we continue to then be a mess financially with mad wage bills.
If we are wanting a CB instead of Branthwaite, we need to be signing a 25/26 year old.
Then you see it is Dave who is bigging it up and it all makes sense.

Valuations mean little unless someone is actually willing to pay them; hypothetical future valuations that may never occur mean even less.
I don’t think we’d get 25 million for a youngster that can’t make it into the U21 first team tbh. Just like United aren’t going to get the 40 million that they value Maguire at.
If they actually went out to market right now, with the highest bidder acquiring the player, it’s the current English international that would achieve the higher transfer fee imo.

Tis a bit bewildering.

It probably does happen. If a club want to sell and the player refuses as the offers less, I bet the current club will make deals with them to cover the players potential loss of earnings as it will save them money in the long run instead of the player just running down their contract.
The other way would be they accept less transfer fee so that the buying club can afford more in wages etc.

Has all the links disappeared now, as we supposed to have agreed a deal for some Portuguese lad on Mon but nothing since.
What would Everton do?

I agree with this. Apart from our last 6 or 7 games it was coady and Keane and this is not a high bar for Branthwaite to be better than.
One of the pros I've taken from dyche's time with us is that when he has alternatives and can see things aren't working he knows to change things. So as much as I worry that Keane is first choice for Fulham it won't take much for Branthwaite to leapfrog him. And yeah Branthwaite's not as good an option as Mina was, but he seems to have all the attributes to be WAY above Coady and Keane. So this isn't the massive downgrade people are making it out to be. Especially when you take into account, 80% of last season was coady and Keane.
