2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

[blulouie]

Who do you think should be earning more than him mate ? Perhaps Pickford?

If we value him at £80 million we have pay him accordingly.

Pickford absolutely.

No doubt there'll be one or two quality players coming into the club that warrant top money.
Branthwaite should be right up there for me.

 

[Neiler]

Yep just checked, defo worthy of posting one of these.

 

[Chewbacca]

The key question is Branthwaite talking to Everton?

 

[Walken]

Whilst it would be nice to keep wages down he should really be getting somewhere near Tarkowski which the internet is reporting as 100k a week. I know Tarkowski is captain & experienced but Branthwaite is a future captain & has years on Tarkowski. Pay them the same & keep our defensive harmony.

He's our best player and should rightly be the top earner.

I'd personally tie his, Ndiaye, Gueye and Pickford's wages as they're our only four genuinely class players that would slot straight into most teams in the league. Doucoure was on a reported 120 grand a week, match that for the four of them and give Gueye a two-year deal (2027), Branthwaite a six-year old (2031), Ndiaye a three-year one (2028) and Pickford a four-year one (2029). That doesn't blow our wage structure out of the park or really hurt our salary-to-turnover ratio, especially with the players lost this window: the additional wages are more than covered by the loss of 80 and 120 grand a week Calvert-Lewin and Doucoure respectively, never mind the other 200-odd grand a week we're saving on other players leaving.

Branthwaite and Pickford MUST be secured.

These two players would adorn any side in the league.

The rest of the squad would hardly star in the Championship as far as I'm concerned.

Ndiaye, O’brien

Why 3 for Ndiaye? If 5 years the added benefit is the remaining amortisation on his deal is spread across 5 years.

Dunno tbh, basically just an extension to his contract if it expires before then, alongside a raise to reflect his importance.

I don’t think giving him kids is gonna sweeten the deal in all honesty.

Oops lol

 

[Drico]

Ndiaye, O’brien

Been good last season - but I'd need to see them back it up before I'd get attached to them.

But definitely the next on my list...
