I feel like we're one of the only teams who has every single bid publicized.
Currently on £35k. Suggestion is that we’ve agreed £150k.
United generates clicks, it’s easy revenue for the hacks.
Saw something else that said this was wide of the mark.
Hopefully!
Jesus. What did he do to you?
Scammed United fans, compared Woodward to the Munich air disaster, talk complete shite, etc.?
With this attitude Man Utd probably won't be able to conclude any deals this summer.
Wages seem a bit too high. Hopefully the figure being banded around (~£150k) is the base play only when we play Champions League football. I sure hope he doesn't get a 25% payrise if we make it next season.
Can't stand the guy either.
The Mail doesn't have a clue, but if they did and we had bid £45m, that would be absolutely fine. So long as we are telling them that is it. No more bids - take it or leave it and let us know by the end of the month.
No drama, no saga and no desperation. That's our bid and if you don't like it, we have plenty of other targets.

Yep, we better not be offering that kind of money. Why not start at £50k with performance-related add-ons. No need to start anywhere around the £100k mark.
Typically when signing a new player they will start on £X per year, and then there will be a clause that reduces that by 25% if the club fails to qualify for CL football for the following season.
I assume the logic is that the new player didn’t have a role in failing to qualify this time, so start them off on the headline level and then reduce if needed.
They certainly wouldn’t be getting an uplift if qualification is secured.
I doubt we'll have offered him 150k, we seem to be trying to move away from such salaries. There's no reason to pay him so much unless we're desperate and there's competition.
Actually, it's a team effort, plus the way the team is set up to defend. De Gea got the Golden Glove for most clean sheets, the same season his contract was not extended and we bought Onana. So I get your point, but it's not just him and Tarkowski in that.
He might well have done the other stuff, but this isn’t really true. He made a clumsily worded point, which was along the lines of Woodward’s tenure has set the club back more than the air disaster did, which while not something I agree with, isn’t as outrageous as it sounds clipped up. I see what he was getting at, he just worded it poorly.
This tweet is truly Captain Obvious.
Everton need the cash and quick, we know this.
50 + 5 mill in add ons should do the trick, anything more and we walk away.
Keen to see how INEOS handle negotiation now, we cant be held to ransom anymore can we?

I don't think I've ever seen you post something positive.
I had the misfortune to listen to him and see how he presents himself of SP, then on Rio's channel. What I define him as is very accurate. Then he's got history about how the Glazer's being worse for the club than the Munich disaster comment and other stuff.
When you look at well regarded defenders that moved within the PL to big six clubs over the last 3-4 years, 50-70m is the rough range.
Fofana - 70m plus add ons
Cucurella - 55m plus add ons
White - 50m
Given that a few years have passed since the Ben White fee and that Branthwaite also has the English/HG premium which the others did not, I don't think 60-70m would be out of step with the market.
Yep, solid analysis and I think 50m +10m in addons will do it because he has a long contract, young player etc. It could go higher but Everton are somewhat incentivized to sell too.
He used to post on here too which in my opinion is the worst crime of all.
They never, ever release that info.
Because it's trueI'd say there's a very obvious reason why you feel like that
It is true.
He literally said these words -
"I think where United are at the moment, f**k it I’m gonna say it on camera. I think Woodward was worse for us than Munich."
We clearly will not be overpaying which is a good sign!
£35M opening offer is a good indication that we won't pay silly money for him. Still think £50M is the most we will go.
There's a lot of options for us at centre back. It's not like it's Branthwaite or nothing.
Is it weird that I don’t like the way he runs? It’s like what Fergie said about Henderson running from the knees rather than the hips.
£40m tops.
£40m tops.
I'm overthinking this, but this has all happened quite quickly and has been very public.
I'd love it to be the case that we're not interested in signing him at all but instead just doing a very public, performative exercise to showcase the fact that we're not willing to overspend anymore.
If that is the case (unlikely I know), we'll very publicly walk away soon.

Pretty embarrassing that.
Yeah, 50m+10m add ons feels about right to me given all circumstances.
I just saw the Ornstein tweet and 35m is way too low unless Everton are completely cornered and desperate.
We won't be overpaying for anyone by the looks of it, I do worry that we'll get shunned at every turn though and panic sets in end of the window.
Moyes summer window has scarred me.
Meet in the middle I imagine.
70m is too high
35m is too low
Negotiating tactics on both sides. 50m seems about right with add ons included in that. Teams just can't pay the silly fees anymore.
