£10m offer. Take it or leave it.
It would be stupid of us to pay 50-55m straight cash.I feel this gets done if United pay 50-55m straight up cash , I dont think we have heard last of this saga .

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!
You've just paid £50m for an 18 year old with 1 year left on his deal.... when the other club were offering £20m. You've over paid for a bang average dutch striker... even paid more than his release fee and a ridiculous agent fee.
Lets not pretend United have changed, you've just dished out 2 ridiculous fees.
The problem you have is our fee is above your budget currently.

From what I've read, it sounds like you're a bit fecked.
The meme posting about this is pretty embarrassing and callous.
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.Wondered how long it would be until a journo tried to sell him!

Quite funny how this may end up going, don’t have anything against Everton but the reaction to this deal has been so bizarre.
Hopefully not.Couldn't Branthwaite primarily be competing with Shaw for LB which essentially means that he would be our starting LB?
Agree with this, don’t want to see proper clubs in huge difficulty.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.
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.
That Everton forum...It's like reading Bluemoon, so much bile and hatred towards United. Also Branthwhite is a "generational talent" like Rooney, doesn't make mistakes, Real Madrid will buy him, etc. It's what decades of hovering slightly above relegation does to you I guess.
Hopefully not.
Silentwitness is getting a fair bit of unfair flak here. Most of what he said was sensible. Ultimately, it made better sense for Everton to keep Branthwaite than sell him to United unless we were willing to pay an inflated price as they would find it difficult to replace Branthwaite on the cheap. Just like it made sense for United to walk away and buy Yoro at a lower price, with plenty of upsides. English clubs are a lot richer than clubs from other leagues and it is just more difficult to get good value when buying from English clubs.
I don't really get this 'moral' outrage about people finding the very sudden turnaround in their mood quite funny.
Up until a few hours ago, they were still laughing themselves silly over us supposedly still being run like a clown show, patting themselves on the back for keeping Brainthwaite while we "overpaid for a teenager from France", and congratulating themselves over no longer needing to offload players just to generate a bit of cash. And this extends further than the online fan-base, given the semi-official nature of the "look how much you spent on Maguire" and "Branthwaite is a £100 million player" comments.

Agreed in a way. We obviously need another centre back, but we also need multiple central midfielders. Can't fix all of our issues in one window though.In that case it's a bit strange to spend that much money on CBs when we really need to invest in other areas.
