2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

Be surprised if Real dropped £70 mill GBP on a centre half mate.

Their style is to tap up a player a year before their contract runs down and get them for little or nothing or free.

Especially after the Woodgate experiment.

Completely forgot about that! Weird to think at one stage Woodgate, Owen and McManaman were there.

It's not the factual statement. It's more the fact you remembered a tongue in cheek post from a few days early which clearly damaged your ego in some way and felt the need for a I told you so post. Maybe you have nothing better to do.

Your bruised ego more like

Apologies for having a good memory

Apologies for being right

Apologies for not being able to understand tongue in cheek posts on a forum where everything is expressed in a written format

Hope you got educated anyway

Apology accepted. Don’t worry mate. It’s a hard skill. You might learn it one day.

Its up to us to convince him to stay. Rinsing United in the standings and continuing to show goalscoring potential in the side can't hurt. Gotta keep the momentum going

Exactly, we're a club on the up now after the darkness. New stadium next season, getting results now after the pragmatism that ugly football brought, major PSR issues in the past, new owners. The list goes on. We should be able to keep him around for at least the next 2 or 3 years at this point

Your played ale house football as a CB then, because the best CBs (and Branthwoate is getting billed as being one or capable of being one) will be a lot more composed when they have time to consider where they can head out to (Ilm not talking about a ball pinging about the box and in need of a desperate head out at all costs, btw).

The best players are looking around and seeing pictures as to the next passage of play. Branthwaite is great at covering tackles and anticipating danger. That's fine. But a lot of his game is dealing with balls into the box and the lad has to be doing more with them than just ballooning them in the air anywhere as long as they get out of the box.

Fair comment

Are you and @davek in a relationship?

Quality today.

…..he’s absolutely top drawer, wonder what United think now feeling they were doing us a favour at £40m.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Steadfast. Can do things that defy logic. Todays game was no exception

 

[Arteta2391]

Everton to Real Madrid is a boss move

If we have to sell has to be north of 70 mill think chelsea paid that for fofana from Leicester the game looks effortless for jarrad

Clearly playing with an injury, spends a lot of time on the floor recently in pain.

Still a monster.

….and stays on. I thought he was struggling with a quad today, I said ‘get off the pitch and protect it’ but he played on. What a contrast to the likes of Onana asking to be withdrawn at half-time, I can’t talk too highly of this young footballer, in all my years of watching he’s very special.
