2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[croatian blues]

Just that mate, a club our size shouldn't sell their best players anyway on principal - if you act like a bottom feeder you will be treated like one. Our position such as it is with players like Branthwaite we need to keep them for 3 years, min two - as starters or we will be in this hole forever.

You need to manage investments correctly to reap the rewards.

Correct, unfortunately if you need to sell due the bad management, you need to sell.

I don't accept we need to sell at all personally mate.

Not falling for it.

I agree we need to sell, but thankfully it's Onana who is a highly rated player but not crucial to our team. Thank Christ for that, would be awful if we had to sell Branthwaite.

Having flashbacks to a certain Wayne Rooney

Not really. The price we got for Rooney at the time was considered decent. It's not a point about him not going to utd if he does he does its the point that if he does it'll be for a lot more than 40mil.

To be fair we have our own fans going on about Leeds being desperate for cash and thinking we can low ball them.

From the outside people will be thinking the same about us.

True.

Agree, if we can manage the finances with one sell, Onana is no brainer

I want at least 75m

 

[JimmyK]

Theres no point us moaning about what numbers get quoted we'll accept whatever we accept (or not) and none of us know what that number will be.

Wayne went to utd for 26mill that is 50 mill in todays prices would you take 50 mill
For Jarrard

26m 20 years ago is surely a lot more than 50m now

45million, adjusted for inflation.

Branthwaite going for anything below £75m is a travesty.

The inflation in football is way more though

Been saying this for ages

Some bods on here love quoting the millions the minute our players mature into form, does my head in. Understand that there are circumstances when our hand is forced, but I'd rather we stuck to our guns and held on to our best players for longer even if it meant that we couldn't reinvest in the team with the same strength.

ROI can be measured in points as well as pounds

Ben White went for 50 mill to Arsenal. Wesley Fofana was 70 mill. There’s absolutely no way we should be selling below these figures. Cucurella wa a more than the 50 mill some are floating!
