2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

A couple of counters to this:

McNeil was never what we needed, a team that needed pace and goals and we got neither

Beto could do a job but not how Dyche sets up his team. He’s 100% not a target man

I get the issue with the payment plans, but the football world is a big place. There’s gens everywhere; we’ve just sold one

Did add an edit to my post on Beto - his strike rate isn’t actually bad when factoring in the minutes he’s played. ~11 games and 5 goals in all comps.

McNeil I agree with you on lack of pace - would be looking to shift him centrally personally, as he does have some guile, which is something else we don’t have.

Most teams aren’t willing to sell their gems on the never never

Name a club that sells its best player every year and stays in the Premier League?

efc

 

[matty1878]

Brighton seem to do it perfectly fine as did Villa after selling Grealish

 

[matty1878]

Brighton

But they have a plan to reinvest

and do we? oh yes it’s reinvesting to the debt

PSR rules doing their intended job again.

I have little sympathy for us/the none top 6 teams any longer.

Could have voted to either amend or at least increase the threshold but rejected it. All seem content minus Newcastle & Villa to be feeder clubs for the big boys.

Shame its Utd, dont have any real dislike of them but its tiring how we sell our best players to them all the time.

They've only been in the Premier League for 5 minutes though. Eventually Brightons luck will run out.

 

[nsno-chris]

he’s DOF and his job is to identify players

sorry but there’s no way dyche isn’t in on it

and again all this is a for what’s gone on prev

No mate, his job is to oversee all footballing operations. From development, to pathways, to recruitment to style of play

Thelwell had an interest in Beto and Danjuma before Dyche even managed us

So how do you figure that out mate

 

[JimmyK]

People need to realise you can’t use outlier bad transfers as benchmarks. If we go and try and sign broja we don’t want Chelsea saying you spent 25 mil on Beto so it’s 40 and united will be the same with branthwaite you can’t just say you spent 80 on maguire so we want 100 that isn’t how it works!

Of course not, but football fans are muppets.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Seen people spending the £70m already on twitter. We won’t spend all that money regardless of owner because these PSR rules don’t allow us to

 

[sw blue]

Branthwaite, Dom, Godfrey, Onana.

I bet even more want to jump ship.

Thelwell doesn't seem to be renewing.

No players, no plan. How are we not getting relegated next year?
