Realistically what’s his value ??
100m ??
Given his contract length it’s going to take something excessive

He’s a far better defender than Stones.
Realistically, his fee should be less than the record fee for a Defender which is 80m for Harry Maguire.
If we want more, he would probably need to make the England squad.
For those of us on at decent prices for him making the Euros, I read somewhere that Southgate said something along the lines of, it's very possible for one or two uncapped players to still make the squad. I.e., surely he was referring to Branthwaite.
My view is if he maintains his current form and remains injury free he will be in the England squad for the two friendlies in March. He then needs to not do a Ben Godfrey and actually look very composed and play with extreme swagger - as I would expect him to do so.
Regards Everton I hope he stays for another 18 months for all the reasons given - ideally longer but need to be realistic.

I reckon 65m and we fold like a paper bag in the rain.

They’re different players but yes he’s already ahead in some areas & his ceiling is right up there.
That’s not knocking Stones at all who I’ve always thought is a magnificent footballer and should continue to be for many more years.
I like Onana, I think he has loads of potential and is a very good player at the moment, but, if it means we can get another year out of Branthwaite, then sell Onana. After the Euros, where Branthwaite will surely go, his value will be through the roof, he's that good, he will absolutely sparkle in that competition and be worth a small fortune. I'd love us to keep both of them, but realistically, they both go over the next 12 months. I hope Onana goes first if we are desperate to sell. After the Euros I think Branthwaite may well fetch a record fee for a defender.

We didn’t see the best of Stones while he was here, there were still several holes in his game.
Not many names come to mind recently who have established themselves this early in their PL careers the way Branthwaite has. John Terrry maybe? I’m sure I’m forgetting others, but his consistency (small sample size, mind you) is extraordinary

There were valid criticisms of Stones as he was developing here. But only a few couldn’t see he was going to be a top drawer defender.
Branthwaite’s on the Rio Ferdinand at West Ham path..breaks through, gets first England cap young, sold for pretty big money.

Bare minimum we have to keep him until after the Euros.
If he makes the squad and has a few good games his price will go through the roof.

Have to hold on to him awhile longer. What a solid player to have back there.
Keep for three years, turn down every bid.
