I think funds need to flow down the pyramid so I have no problem with the sell on clause. Will do wonders at Carlisle who have just got relegated I think
2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

Stats can be misleading, but one of the last stats you show is appearances. Branthwaites stats in other catagories will have been higher if he had the same game time. You also have to factor in that we probably get targeted down the right hand side more so than the left, so Tarks has more work to do covering that side.
I’m not picking sides or who is the better player because we’d be goosed without either of them. You just have to look at everything holistically.
the appearances stat is an interesting one because the other guy said that Branthwaite was "by a considerable distance" our player of the season yet he played 3 games less than Tarkowski.
Now if Branthwaite had more blocks, interceptions, successful tackles, clearances, headed clearances, aerial battles won etc.. having played 3 games less than Tarkowski then that would be seriously impressive stats and a very strong argument for him to be our player of the season or at least in the running for it.
if you are talking about just this season alone then arguably Tarkowski is in the mix as our player of the season ahead of someone like Branthwaite and playing more games is a stronger argument for him to be our player of the season as he has played in every single game whereas Branthwaite hasn't.
if you are talking about long term potential then obviously Branthwaite is the more exciting player
Both our centre halves were really good. Tarkowski should be off to the euros as well.
But with JB performing at that level at 21, then he's worth Maguire level money in the current transfer market. We need to get 70m plus as a fee for him.

These are both central defenders you want playing for you. Branthwaite offers more going forward in possession, as well as the promise of further development.
Fair play if we have to sell Branthwaite, but replacing him in the center of defense won't be easy. What is certain is that we don't have an adequate replacement on the present bench.

So we might get 80 mill after the sell on fee, but how will that ease the money problem if we have to spend it ?

I thought Ben Mee might be coming in but he’s signed a new contract..
Must be other cheap/free central defenders knocking about..
Yes please!
Apparently man u will not be held to ransom by everton over branners fee and will only pay 50 mil, you've gotta laugh at some of the so called journalism out there.
That's like walking into a shop asking for a 10p mix and saying I'm only paying 5p.

Who the hell is Teden Mengi and why have I never heard of him?
Sick of hearing about him, he's not the second coming of Christ..
Simon Buttle

He is an ex Man Utd youth who was at Luton, looked really good in the first half of the season but drifted of second half. Defo a bit of something there though.
@bicycleheader What, I am...it's like the supporters are actively trying to sell him, they never shut up about him.
