2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

[GoldenToffee]

He looks like he's back to his best. Let's his and the team's early season form kept him under the radar from vultures and now that's he's approaching his best again team's have made alternative plans for the summer. Still can't help but feel he's the sacrificial lamb even though the new owners have and are able to spend money.

 

[Frenk]

Carlo you can have him, let’s say…

 

[rochdaleblue]

Bet he’s so glad, United didn’t get him on the cheap last summer.

We simply must keep our best player and build around him. Hand him a new contract till 2032.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I agree with Matty; We don't need to sell him:

2040, a position on the Board of Directors, plus a promise that he's captain starting August 2026.

If we have to sell him, we should wait to see how much that Hujsen of Bournemouth sells for. That should indicate the going rate for young CB's with high potential in today's market. Rather not sell him tho.

Palace have put a £70m price on Guehl
Be a better marker as English and couple of years older with England caps

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Interesting. Not sure what is sad about a factual statement. Enlighten me.

In the meantime remind me how many goals isak scored against Man City last week

It's not the factual statement. It's more the fact you remembered a tongue in cheek post from a few days early which clearly damaged your ego in some way and felt the need for a I told you so post. Maybe you have nothing better to do.

 

[COYB75]

he’s staying. we don’t need to sell

moyes is an attraction and i think our current players see it

and our new ones will

JB will atleast give us one more

100%, we do not want to break up what is the spine of our defense. We have three great center backs with O’Brien able to cover. Moving forward Branthwaite and O’Brien could be the starting pair for years to come. We should only sell if we are offered stupid money. Carlo may indeed test us with that. We’ll have money to spend and plenty of wages freed up. Could be an exciting summer.

 

[Caso01]

I get nervous when I see this thread bumped.

 

[Neiler]

I missed that, yeah you're not wrong on that one. Be horrible if it happened too.

This summer with PSR I think it’s only the clubs I mention can prob do it at something like £70 milll.

It’s really only Chelsea that wouldn’t be a PR disaster for TFG.

Surely there is no need to sell him?

10 players will leave most of them on huge wages, new stadium, larger revenues, proper purchases.

Build the team around him if he wants to stay.

I’d like to think he’s at the club for a few more years mate.

But there will be a number and a strategy in place if it happens.

Even with all of the above it wouldn’t surprise me if we have PSR work to do before June 30th.

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Be surprised if Real dropped £70 mill GBP on a centre half mate.

Their style is to tap up a player a year before their contract runs down and get them for little or nothing or free.

Agree.

Can't see them paying £70m+ on a CB none of their supporters have heard of, Carlo's always on borrowed time there as well, regardless of how many trophies they win.

…I do think it’s more a case of when he wants to go more than when the club wants to sell him. If he wants to go, then he’ll go but if he signs a new deal it’s a good sign his departure isn’t imminent.
