[The binman chronicles]

Think we need this kind of response the next time utd come calling...

Maybe United are just broke and trying their luck.

Yep. They seemingly can't afford his true market value hence the back door approach by agreeing terms first with the player in an attempt to put pressure on Everton to sell but thankfully...ONANA what's my name has come to save the day!

 

[Blue 1]

£45m is a desultory order.

Hope we tell them to get bent.

Tbf, looking at Ev from the outside, why wouldn’t you try low balling for JB?
Personally wouldn’t be surprised if Mosh took it if it was cash up front he could trouser.
NB imho his market value is north of £65m

Not a bad shout that actually

At the media meeting, when Southgate was asked why he wasnt taking him, he was very short and sharp with his reply ' its too early for him'. No real explanation as to why, which I felt a bit strange.

 

[AndyRJ]

I wonder,with all this transfer speculation, this is the reason he hasnt gone to the Euros. Maybe Southgate didnt want Branthwaites head all over the place, and not focused on the games ahead.

Wouldn't surprise me if 'Sir Jim' asked Southgate not to take him. Benefits them in trying to secure him on the cheap if he isn't in the England squad.

Lads no one seems to have said it in the last 50 pages or so - what's everyone's opinion on the United bid lads?

Nah, not having that mate. Just my opinion though, we dont know what goes on behind the scenes.

 

[Leylo]

According to fella on sky he's agreed 100 grand week contract.. fair play couldn't turn that one down

A bit out there i'll admit, but it crossed my mind and I wouldn't put it past them. They were in talks with Southgate for the United job so the relationship will be there. Not as though he was likely to start or feature at all so wouldn't have been a big stretch for Southgate

 

[billyblue80]

Classic, tap him up then sling in lowball bids. Hold firm blues he's worth 70m easily if United won't pay it other clubs would if not he stays.

 

[billyblue80]

Also annoying me United fans saying they wouldn't pay more than 50m for him, well no deal then. Why are they obsessed with not only taking our player but paying less than he's worth?pathetic. They're a club that prints money they can afford it, why do they care.

 

[navidson]

Where's the bidding war then?

Course you can. You can get that at Everton.
