The kids like usain bolt ... i cant remember a kid his size being that quick ( godfrey / DCL as the level )

that's a very rare thing / good in the air / lovely with the ball ( what I've seen ) .. could be one of our best in england in a very long time

But Brands is a fraud apparently and never uncovers hidden gems...

Superb piece of work. $500k! That’s Coleman 2.0 in this era.

We could win a basketball Premier League with them players.

Out of 1 cup lol

That’s my point though. The playing time isn’t there

But will we be able to get £25m for him when Bournemouth come sniffing around. Thinking about the wunderkinder like Solanke, Ibe, Brewster and so on. Werrrrrrld beaters next season they were described as.

Good review on the Blackburn forum, not sure if it’s been posted here..

“Branthwaite... 8 Was an example of composure in our defence given that 3 days ago he would have had no idea that he'd be turning out in the blue and white halves today and must only have had a day or two to train with his new teammates. Looked 28 rather than 18”.

Tall, fast and good on the ball... if he fills out early he will be a nightmare to play against in coming seasons and so young too

Him getting 20+ plus games between now and the end of the season is exactly is what he needs. Let's say we qualify for the Europa, would you loan him out again next season or bring him back and use him in that?

Use him with us mate for the EL personally.

I said on the Keane post I think we need to move one on as Brands has said about ultimately only wanting 8 defenders so that is probably 4 CBs. Godfrey Branthwaite would be a good partnership as they are both young quick and powerful. At this stage though I would be happy for Branthwaite to come back and just be ready to challenge for a place. I think once Godfrey plays CB he will become first choice. Play Mina against physical opposition play Holgate against quicker opposition. If Branthwaite is as good as we hope he will be able to play against quick and physical opposition.

I guess the plan will be to see how Branthwaite gets on this season and then probably give him a full loan elsewhere next season

Prem loan for the season hopefully.

No these full season loans never work out. Holgate, Barkley, Osman, Coleman only went out for a half a season at most and it was enough. As posters above said of we get Europe this will create game time next season. If we get knocked out early then maybe loan out 2nd half season although I would still be inclined to keep.
