The fact that he does his best work in the central midfield position?

what running around? i’ve not seen anything atall to even think he’d be good at us

We didn't sign him when he was unproven. Now he has shown he can't cut it in the Premier League I foresee a £50m bid...

…yep, he was with us briefly but I think it was more a case of him not wanting us. I’d imagine it’s a very tenuous link anyway.

Isnt it the plan to have JB and OBrien as the ideal couple for the next season? Tarks would be a decent backup for them. Keane does very good this season, lets see how that evolves. Next summer will be all about getting RB/LB sorted, a replacement for Gana Gueye and fix the strikerstatus if Barry and/or Beto still fall short. I think that's basically our entire budget. If JB goes, its a different story ofc.

And lets hope Armstrong develops nicely!

I would hope so but we spent a lot this summer. I have no idea if large net spends are sustainable and we still have a lot of holes in the squad.

And still looks like he can only do it in the Champs.

Not to be negative, but I'm starting to think Branthwaite is waiting it out till January so someone pays the release clause.

Was injured on August 15th, was meant to be out for 4 weeks, Moyes said on August 22nd that he was getting there but not quite ready yet, now here we are two months later, and Moyes is talking about getting him back on grass in the coming weeks.

If I wasn't an Evertonian I probably wouldn't be so cynical, but....

So you have 60 million net spend... next summer net spend. How do you solve
- ST
- RB
- CM
- LB

Sell Beto and McNeil for say 20 each?

I think at some point Branthwaite will need selling to fund the squad.

Its a point...a 65million (?) release clause is cheap on todays figures tbh

Yeah, your prob right, to good for championship but that might be his highest peak, you'd think someone would take the chance tho.

Didn't Villa just use him for PSR reasons..

He was given a chance. 6 months at Villa where he couldn't break in properly, then sold to Ipswich and only got 2 goals. He might end up in this league one day but he just looks similar to Jack Clarke right now (too good for Champ, not good enough for PL).

The Michael Chopra effect.

I’m not sure we’d get anywhere near that for him at the moment to be honest.

He doesn't have a release clause, IMO.

The Daily Fail made up a story saying he did, but even then its not active till The Summer.

But personally I dont think he has 1 and if he did, missing more games through injury doesn't really sell himself.
