You're only young once, you can be immature f'ever
So much for a sensible wage structure. He’s had one good season ffs.
That'd not a reason to scoff at him tbf, Southgate's selections aren't the end all be all.an Everton player not even good for the England squad that has many injuries in the back, for that salary![]()
How good is Branthwaite and how good can he be? Stones level or not as good?
Wow sounds like it may happen
Tall, fast, physical and can play ball. On paper sounds like a good partner for Martinez.
What if we did a deal for 50mil plus add ons based on club success?This is the one transfer I hate we are even entertaining.
150k a week ! Will we ever learn ?!
I'd invite you to have a look at his fbref. Yes, stats aren't everything, but when you're in the bottom 3rd percentile for progressive carries, and bottom 15th for passes attempted, passing accuracy, and progressive passes, you're not someone who can play the ball.

Another one of the best English CB's of the last few years has rarely even been named to the squad because he plays in Italy

When you add to that he's a lefty, so is not an ideal partner to Martinez, and at the fees quoted... this signing gets more and more confusing the more you analyse it
I don't think that's unreasonable. Sounds about right for somebody who (I assume) would be starting most games for us.
I'm so used to watching us pay £350k a week for the likes of Sancho and Alexis Sanchez this looks pretty reasonable
Branthwaite?Pace: 8/10
Quality on the ball: 7/10
No one is gonna come for 80-90k a week when another club can just offer 50k extra and get him.It is! And this is the exact reason why players stagnate after moving to United and why we fail to move them on when things don't work out.
Mainoo 20k, Garnacho 50k, Hojlund 85k, Lisandro 120k, Onana 90k, Dalot 85k all starting players under 150 and they are all better footballing players than him. He is 21 years old with one "ok" season.I don't think that's unreasonable. Sounds about right for somebody who (I assume) would be starting most games for us.

150-160 is pretty reasonable and not over the top at all.

@SilentWitness have a word and get them to lower it a bit will ya

Let them get him in and then we complain that United are incompetent for not “just getting the deal done”Then let them get him. This line of thinking is what has landed us in the place we are today.
Well duh.He’s made those up.
So now Southgate's opinion is the be all end all?an Everton player not even good for the England squad that has many injuries in the back, for that salary![]()
Branthwaite is considerably more saught-afterWe pay Hojlund £85k a week and he was a £75m signing. No way should Branthwaite be on more than him as his first deal.
