Player Valuation: £1.5m
You're right in a sense that we can set the fee but I feel the club's financial status and us being a shambles on it will determine what he actually goes for.
Both Brighton & West Ham slapped stupid prices on their key players and they got it because they had bargaining chips to justify them:
- Neither club needed to sell and were financially stable
- Caicedo had just played a huge role in Brighton overachieving in the league and getting into Europe.
- Rice, in addition to being a England regular, captained his team to a European cup and more European football.
Not Jarred's fault he can't do that but top clubs will probably bid £60-70m and laugh at the valuation we set and walk away. We don't hold any cards, we're diabolical on and off the pitch and would pressured into selling low.
So unless, Jarred starts for England at the Euro's or continues to score and perform worldies in league, we're not getting the silly prices others went for.

This probably means that they won’t go for Branthwaite. I don’t think they will spend 75 million on a backup defender

The hit rate will be a bit better with the Branthwaite money:We need to be careful not to do a Spurs...they sold Bale and replaced with 7 players:
Lamela
Soldado
Chiriches
Paulinho
Capoue
Eriksen
Chadli
A hit rate of 1 in 7 isnt ideal

I usually don’t like to over hype players but Jarrod is absolutely the real deal already.
He is already a top PL CB and has everything needed to be a truly great player apart from experience.
Much better than stones defensively when he left, doesn’t look as calm on the ball as stones did but that’s a style thing imo. He is just as effective as stones , stones just looked smoother .
He is better in the air, doesn’t get beaten for strength or pace ( Haaland exception) , doesn’t get booked, has a goal in him and has been one of the rare highlights of watching us this season.
I laughed at Zat when he was talking of 100m at the start of the season but I would 100% be pushing for a world record for a defender fee if we are to sell him, which unfortunately looks like the most likely outcome.
if he injures gordon in training it wouldn't be the worst thing ever

Sure he's had over 5 bookings
Think he got them quite early if I remember rightly as I’m sure him, young and someone else could have all been out for the same game earlier in the season.
Never the less , for a team that constantly is without the ball and is defending, he never seems to miss a match through suspension.
Him and tarks being basically ever present is absolutely massive for us.

I hope Dyche is looking at options for Centre Half rather than relying on Keane or Godfrey for next season. I suppose it depends which division we're in. As for Branthwaite I think we'll get £70 million, I suspect £7 million will go to Carlisle which will be massive for them. £42 million to pay for Beto and Chermiti, leaving £21 million which hopefully Dyche will be allowed to spend.

Branthwaite, Tarkowski and Pickford keeping us conceding like a top half side is the reason we aren't already as doomed as Sheffield and Burnley appear to be.
