Back to that first offer I say. What was it? £35 million plus some add-ons?
Jarrad Branthwaite
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I'd offer them a Bacon sandwich
Or a sausage roll from Greggs.
Now it makes sense why they cried about the Yoro transfer 
He's not worth that.
Earlier over at Grand Old Team:

Sometimes life gives you lemons, not toffees.
Probably yeah. But they rejected our last offer of 50M with add ons included. So I would go 5M above that, but not more.
Dude is versatile, young, aggressive and good on the ball. Overpiced? Yeah, because he is british.
Agreed.
Offer them £25m and Ed Woodward's number.
£10m offer. Take it or leave it.
Everton coming back to Dan
10m and Lindelof
I feel this gets done if United pay 50-55m straight up cash , I dont think we have heard last of this saga .
It must be exhausting being an Everton fan.
It would be stupid of us to pay 50-55m straight cash.
Ducker with a tweet saying maybe it gets done after all.
He probably doesn’t specifically know something yet - but you can see movement here for a fee of around £55m.
Him and Yoro in addition to Martinez, Maguire, Evans would be our best collection of CB’s for over 10 years.

Shit situation for Everton, but does put United in a stronger negotiation position. Their disappointment at United shifting interest to Yoro makes more sense now.
It depends How highly he is rated by United , we have already made bid of 45+5 m in add-ons So the suggested fees isn't far off its just the matter of Cash Flow .
A menage a trois with the writer and the painter?
Wondered how long it would be until a journo tried to sell him!
Seriously though, I am interested to see where we go from here. Club need to put out a stronger statement with more clarity regarding the situation and potential impacts on the club and transfer window.
We have a game in 4 hours, feels a bit weird to be playing now!
Well, I dont see getting him and De Ligt as well.
Strange that De Ligh links have cooled. It seems that we are not moving for him.

Dawned on them that we probably knew a lot more about their financial situation than their fan-base did.
I think one young/inexperienced CB is enough. I'd focus on De Light.
We'd be absolute morons to pay 50m+ for him. Particularly when it looks like Everton can't afford be picky about this unfortunately. No disrespect to @SilentWitness it's a terrible situation for any club to be in.
Branthwaite ain't 50m yet.
Branthwaite ain't 50m yet.
From what I've read, it sounds like you're a bit fecked.
The meme posting about this is pretty embarrassing and callous.
We paid €2.5m extra so that we could spread the payments over several years, improving the financial status of the transfer.
Indeed, just need to wait for a bit more info to see how fecked we are though. I feel sorry for Thelwell and Dyche, there is a massive disconnect between them and board level. They're miracle workers really having to deal with all this nonsense and still manage to get players in and keep us up.
Quite funny how this may end up going, don’t have anything against Everton but the reaction to this deal has been so bizarre.
Branthwaite as the 2nd CB makes more sense than De Ligt.
Yoro is a right footed CB, so the 2nd CB being left footed to cover Martinez, be the long term replacement for Martinez and enabling us to play one at LB in emergency scenarios works. Also rotating Branthwaite and Yoro for minutes works for their development and their current standing, while De Ligt would expect to start most matches.
I'd guess they would accept a similar fee to Yoro.

Did we go up to 45+5 in our last bid for the Carlisle Kaiser? That seems to be right figure and hope it's get done at that. I don't mind helping out Everton here if they have got down from their high horse.
It is - and it would be extremelt sad if a great club like Everton went to the wall.
But having seen how much joy and validation their fans have taken in the havoc bad owners have wrought on our club, it's hard not to feel a little schadenfreude in their direction.
To be honest mate I'm frustrated for you. Branthwaite is just a drop in the ocean compared to what's happening at Everton, you guys cant catch a break.
Hopefully proper owners come into play soon.
Couldn't Branthwaite primarily be competing with Shaw for LB which essentially means that he would be our starting LB?
Feel sorry for Everton, they’re a great club. I could understand the frustration of having a club like United swan in there and try and pilfer their players. From a club perspective it’s been handled pretty fairly and logically on both sides, we’ve made offers that haven’t met Everton’s demands. No deal, that’s business. It’s the fans that bring in the banter.
Hopefully not.
