Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Rooney_Tunes]

how much do we think branthwaite will now be on? he was on around 30k a week before the new deal right?

150k.

 

[Bez2k2k]

Defo need a right winger or even two.

Not really. He's a 4th choice CB and frees up funds to use elsewhere. CB is not a priority this summer.

He will have taken a hit on his wage but he'll still be on a decent wedge. Sadly shows a lack of ambition from us and laziness from him.

I don't really think it shows a lack of ambition at all. We can't fix everything in one window. We just signed our biggest talent on a 5 year deal today.

He's making more in a fortnight or maybe a week then the majority of us will ever make.
Let that sink in.

Not sure what ambition you can show in your choice of 4th choice centre half. Any exciting young talent would be completely wasted filling the role.

He won't stick around for 5 years.

Welcome to football mate, we hope you enjoy your stay.

Can't see the relevance of that.
Footballers are vastly overpaid and this fella is on what i would class elite pay.
Frightening.

Doom and gloom merchants out in force today.

What?

What do you think we should’ve done, put him on a nurse’s wage?

Put the nurse on his wage, and bin him.

4th choice is a myth when there’s two CB positions. He’s one maybe two injuries suspensions away from playing in the first team. He’s effectively first or second reserve at best. That means he will be playing, and when Keane plays mistakes happen and points are lost.

If Branthwaite or Tarkwoski get a major injury early doors, Keane will be in and that is a major major problem for Everton. He’s absolutely conned yet another Everton manager into a deal by playing a couple of decent games at the end of the season when there was zero pressure and Moyes has absolutely fallen for it.

I’ve watched Keane torpedo manager after manager turning in absolute garbage under Silva Ancelotti Lampard and Dyche. I hoped that Dyche binning him was the end of his time here but even last season he managed to pop back up and turn out 4 of the worst performances I’ve ever seen at the start of the season to leave us in the mud for half a season. All of that to then stroll around at the end of the season in the sunshine paying attention because his contract was up. He’s an absolute plague on this team and I’ll confidently predict now that he’ll undermine any progress we look to make next season in some way.

If he signs, it will be on reduced terms.

Just to confirm we’re talking about Jarrad Branthwaite here right?
