2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Wizard]

This is why I have stated £125mil should be the price:

Worth to us now
Value in the future
Sell on

That is insane. It would make him the 3rd most expensive footballer in history. Utterly insane

Neymar
Mbappe
Coutinho
Felix
Fernandes
Griezmann

Surely come into the mix due to inflation.

Not sure why that would be "insane".

What would Buffon or Rooney be worth today at the same age? Two generational talents like Branthwaite.

At this point we should probably hold out for 201m.

May as well break the record.

Do PSG need a CB?

 

[Walken]

Honestly see young player of the year as a slap in the face, he was our best player by a considerable distance

Do you just faceplant the keyboard and go with the number that produces?

£125million is laughable

Rizla between him and Pickers for me.

Nice to see them both hoover up all the awards.

That was when football had a crazy phase of spend spend spend. Now ffp across Europe it is hampering everyone. Even £80m is gonna be tough to get in this market.

Not even close for me.

Pickford was very good, a couple of flappy games and his weaknesses remain. Brainthwaite was exceptional and we have witnessed the beginning of greatness.

 

[street end]

80 million has to be the starting point, need to get as much as possible if we do have to sell him, how much of it is just to balance the books?

Just seen this elsewhere and came here to post it….. I have a hard time believing it’s 15% on top of the original £1m transfer fee.
To think if we did get £80m for him we would have been paying them near £13m!
Sure we’d be profiting to the tune of £67m, but if that 15% is accurate, it looks a little naive in hindsight. I don’t recall there being a lot of competition for him at the time to warrant a sell on that big.
The Architect indeed

Pretty sure Carlisle's official comms at the time of the transfer only referred to potential additional fees as being appearance and future successes/trophies based. Think it was posted a few pages back.

At this point assuming any FFP charge will be in the same vein as the 2nd charge faced this year with 2 of the 3 years already punished, I would rather keep Branthwaite and take the 2/4 point deduction, than let him go.

Think he is worth more than 4 points to us over a season personally

I doubt Carlisle are putting trophy based add ons when selling to Everton! Will almost certainly be a sell on clause - standard practice for young players.

 

[MACCA75]

I’d prefer we trousered £77m out of £80m
And £3m for an unknown / unproven 17 year old sounds like it would have been an acceptable figure to a league 1 club.
Besides I think it’s unlikely it’s 15% in all honesty.

He wasn’t unknown to Carlisle, he was playing for them! We got a bargain and I don’t begrudge them a cut at all.

Would have given it to Tarkowski myself, doesn’t get the acknowledgment or credit he deserves in my opinion.

Not even the best cb at the club (remember that one?)
