Everton's generation talent.You mean, "generation talent", Jarrad Branthwaite?

Everton's generation talent.
We don't want to sell him though and he's not pushing to leave as of yet. Players we have bought you've wanted to sell or wanted to leave.
I still think we'll make a final push for him once we've sold a couple of players. Whether we come close to Everton's valuation remains to be seen but I think we will try for him with a 3rd bid before going for De Ligt or anyone else.
Personally, I'd rather we get De Ligt done but with ETH's insistence on this left footed LCB, I think Brainthwate will be our first choice.
£20m and a twixWe should lower our bid
It's just funny. A narrative is being set that we are angry that we have missed out on him being sold when we didn't want him sold in the first place which is why we set that value.
They'll say they're players the clubs want or have to sell, they dont. Both are fair.Usual trick of putting our Yoro bid in Euros and Branthwaite in pounds to make them sound farther apart. Also going with the highest of the fees being reported, whereas others say €50-60m (£42-52m).
What the latter says is that we're prepared to pay similar fees for Yoro and De Ligt as we've already bid for Branthwaite. The huge gulf isn't in what we've been prepared to pay, it's in what Everton are demanding compared to clubs we're dealing with for the likes of Yoro, De Ligt, Ugarte, Zirkzee...
ETH still has his transfer veto. So we can't sign any player without his approval. I don't know what he or the club have in mind with regards to transfer targets, but we do know he prefers the right foot left foot combination at CB. Going by that I think Brainthwate might take preference over De Ligt. I hope I'm wrong though, I'd much rather we get De Ligt!Dont forget that we have a technical director in the new system now. We do not know that ETH is insisting on anything now, or even able to.
I’d still like Branthwaite if we can get him and would rather him to De Ligt tbh. We’ve just established the value of top class centre half, and assuming the Yoro fee is as reported at around £55m including add ins, it’s pretty much what I thought we’d end up paying for Branthwaite at the start of the summer.

He still counts as Everton media though, right?If you read the article and not the title then you'll see it's the opinion of the writer.

I still think we probably go back in with one more bid for Branthwaite before the end of the window, when finances become available. I'd be surprised if it reached £70m but I think we might get close. Yoro was clearly the top target and my hunch is that we still have de Ligt on the back burner if we can't do a deal for Branthwaite.

Do they even have internet in Liverpool?Do Everton have a forum like this? How are they taking things?

Jones was a brilliant signing just ruined by injuries. He’s honestly one of the best young CBs I’ve ever seen live. He just got really ridiculously unlucky.This Yoro/Branthwaite saga is giving me Jones/Varane vibes from 2011
Looks like we’ve got the right one this time instead of Real Madrid
Jones was excellent early on, looked like a beast. He looked dangerous going forwards too.Jones was a brilliant signing just ruined by injuries. He’s honestly one of the best young CBs I’ve ever seen live. He just got really ridiculously unlucky.
Hope we can keep him.
Think Man Utd will come back in for him though when they've sold some, or Man City/Real Madrid.
As I've long said - he's better than Man Utd. He's as good as, if not better than Stones was for us.
There isn't another centre half in the league Id swop him for. Especially factoring in hes left footed.
'I'm sorry but this is just nonsense.'
How is it? He’s a top player and you are a joke organisation.
He is. You guys are pyar wank
You finished 8th last season.
Branthwaite can, and should aim higher.
I don't think it is. I think @GrandOldTeam is completely right
The behaviour of Man United, it's client journalists and their YouTubers has been laughable.
The fact that you can't see how embarrassing that has been in it all, is fairly telling.
No self awareness.
He really is, mate. I have a load of UTD supporting mates and have told them, joining that circus is little better than a sideways step - he should wait until a big club comes in, UTDs days are OVER
Branthwaite is going to a Champions League club mate, deal with it like an adult please.
Some more reactions:Is a step up but your club is so far from what is was, like honestly how good do you think your club is. You are so far behind city it is laughable , this lad is a talent and will see next summer when clubs going for league titles and the champions league not a club like united. Whos stadium is falling apart even wanted to sack there manager this season. Not sure why your club thinks it acan take any player just living in the past
He's 6ft5. Give him an umbrella and you've fixed that leaking roof.
The only embarrassment is united fans who still think they're a major player. 31 points behind City.
Yeah you've still got it.
the bids United put in for branthwaite was nonsense , he is proven in the premier league will get better and will go to a champions league team and go for what he’s worth, should have paid the asking price this season as it was the only shout United will ever get in signing him, what you did makes no sense ???paid for a player who’s not had any premier league experience will take time to adjust if he does adjust its a 60/70 million pound gamble. you could have played safe and paid that for a player who slots in And is ready from the off
They're all saying yoro is miles better than branthwaite, guarantee they hadn't even heard of him until last week because I hadn't, they're only raving about him because Madrid are after him
What happened to United not overpaying and INEOS being master negotiators eh Yoounited fans? They are such weirdos
It's hilarious how much more the cult like behavior has intensified under sir Jim at least for my friends that support man united, they don't believe they over paid despite yoro playing in a less competitive league and one year left on his contract as real madrid was interested yet they thought jarrard was overpriced at 50 million I think it just plays into the entitled thought process where they believe they're still in competition with real despite madrid probably not having any intention to play on the regular for awhile
I think this one will turn out different, this definitely seems more of an Ashworth signing than the big money they’ve just paid for older players, or Ten Hag’s ex players.
I just don't like the idea of 2 inexperienced CBs together, De Ligt at 24 has excellent experience.
De Ligt who has played at highest level since the age of 18 at top clubs is nowhere comparable to what Jarrad has done so far.I kind of had the same mentality, but he does have a years experience playing against everything there is to offer in the PL, and he did well. He’s 22 so not a kid like Yoro. I’d say he’d be just as likely to be a success as a De Ligt who hasn’t played in the Prem. But tbh, I’d be happy with either.
