Our fans complained at every single one of those sales because they thought we should have got more. Brathnwaite for £70m falls into the same bracket.
Our fans will complain as they always do, but in reality it will be seen as a good price for him.

Ron Burgundy
Player Valuation: £15m
The window after he had left we brough in Beto and Chermiti for a combined £37m. I'd say that isn't the worst business in the world. A CF who is proving he can score goals in this division and an extremely promising younger CF, who looks a player from the cameos we've seen.
Nonsense, he will be eyeing bigger fish than 17th place
If brainthwaite wants to leave his options will not be us vs spurs
That's quite some spin Ron. Perhaps you missed your vocation.
An alternative view is ....one of the most technically deficient centre forwards we've ever had and a young player who has made no impression and isn't challenging for a starting role.
The truth is probably somewhere in between but I can't in all honesty say that that was £37 million well spent.
Spot on.
Spurs v PSG in the Supercup is going to be fun.
IF TFG mean business, Brainthwaite won't be going anywhere.
Please please play the first team Luis! Destroy them

Fans complain about selling players but ultimately unless you support Real Madrid every single club is a ‘selling club’.
Liverpool sold every single one of Alonso Mascherano Arbeloa Torres Meireles Benayoun Suarez Sterling Coutinho Mane Alexander Arnold in their prime to bigger clubs, yet the media don’t call them a selling club.
Brighton and Brentford Palace have a revolving door, their fans are far more used to selling players than ours are.
I think it’s because we had a period under Moyes where Baines Jagielka Cahill Coleman etc. all stayed for a long time at the club. It’s very unusual though and becoming much more so. Branthwaite will be sold, either this window or next summer. Fans just need to accept it as part of modern football now.
I agree. It's just who we sell to and to make sure that we maximise the price.
That's football.
Even mega rich Newcastle will sell Isak eventually when someone offers enough money

Torres and Meireles went to Chelsea
Sterling to City
Mane to Al Ettifaq
None of those three clubs, with respect, are bigger than the RS unfortunately

At the time they were more successful (hence why they moved). Liverpool didn’t want to sell any of them and these clubs came in with bids, the players agitated to go, Liverpool had to sell them. Same way we have to do every time we sell a player.
Mane went to Bayern as well who are bigger than Liverpool.
The only aging player PSG had was their C/H - Branthwaite would fit in that team lovely & they would pay top dollar for him - but I bet their academy is full of stars = youngsters ....
German football has dipped since then ....
Bayern still has a big pull for players though they aren’t the team they were 20 years ago. I don’t think any clubs match the glamour of Madrid and Barcelona.
Most rumours are complete nonsense. I read a few reports Tottenham are considering a bid for Branthwaite. Have a day off.
Levy is as tight as a you know what so yep it's realistic that he will suddenly bid circa £80+ million for Branthwaite!
Chelsea really like Colwill and they have invested a lot of time into him. He's a promising young left footed centre back. It doesn't really make much sense for them to buy Branners.
Utd is a non starter for so many reasons (no European football, highly unlikely they can afford him due to PSR).
Madrid just signed the young Bournemouth centre half.
Liverpool makes sense on paper but not in practice which leaves City (they have about 8 centre backs) and Newcastle (Dan Burn factor) so I see Branners staying this summer - next summer will be when it gets interesting. I think he stays with European football and moves on without it.
