What's worrying is there is next to nothing coming from the club to quell the rumours.

There has been next to nothing about a new contract for him.

Why should there be?

At this moment in time, no official offers have came in. If every time a player was linked to someone, the owning club made a statement there would be hundreds a day.

No news is good news for me. It's like a manager getting "backing of the board", being a death sentence, we dont need to make a statement.

Not really. If he does go it should be for a world record fee for a defender. I wouldn’t be on settling for any fee less than that. JB has two years left on the contract plus it’s reported we have the option of a third year extension. What’s he going to do. Down tools? He doesn’t strike me as the type of guy to do that plus it’s doubtful in a world cup year.

He’ll be here for a long time if anyone is expecting a world record fee for a defender——I would imagine Everton would sell him if they get £70M for him but I doubt any club will be offering that much for him.

Unfortunately it sums up how far we have fallen that spurs can take our better players.



There won’t be he’s available at the right price.

Spurs having one of the worst seasons any big club will ever have and then immediately pinching our best player sums up how the premier league currently is

No. He holds all the cards. We’re in a weak position - simply because we’ve nothing concrete to offer him and yes, he could just refuse to play. In that scenario we’d look like the bad guys holding him back. No amount of big talk is gonna change that. But we’d see sense before any performative stuff and realise the money is (currently) more valuable to us. I wouldn’t want him at the club if he’s just pissed off and wanting away. That helps nobody. As has been said, the real disaster wouldn’t be him going, but failing to use the proceeds well.

Branthwaite is not the be all and end all, and our approach to him now sets no precedent. In a few years time, when the next super kid comes through our ranks (and he will) THAT’S the test. Will HE spur the biggest offers in favour of a club demonstrably on the up?

He has a 3 year contract. He won't be downing tools, he didn't last season.
