Most rumours are complete nonsense. I read a few reports Tottenham are considering a bid for Branthwaite. Have a day off.
Levy is as tight as a you know what so yep it's realistic that he will suddenly bid circa £80+ million for Branthwaite!
Chelsea really like Colwill and they have invested a lot of time into him. He's a promising young left footed centre back. It doesn't really make much sense for them to buy Branners.
Utd is a non starter for so many reasons (no European football, highly unlikely they can afford him due to PSR).
Madrid just signed the young Bournemouth centre half.
Liverpool makes sense on paper but not in practice which leaves City (they have about 8 centre backs) and Newcastle (Dan Burn factor) so I see Branners staying this summer - next summer will be when it gets interesting. I think he stays with European football and moves on without it.
this is what id been thinking but the fear always sets in
just so used to losing our best players now
even Gordon was one of them where I was like ... he's fine. he can be a decent premier league player for us, no one will be that interested in him in the way Rooney, Barkley and Rodwell were courted.
but no, 12 months after breaking into the side he's gone
hoping the new regime means we're less inclined to sell. i think we need some statement signings in soon though to convince JB it's worth sticking around
