This is amazing.
Even 50m is ridiculous for Branthwaite. The sooner we move on, the better.
The deadline is June 30th aka, we are very much beyond that.
That proper tickled me
Consider me corrected.
I think if everyone is fit it would mean Martinez and De Ligt start.
I see the City fans on Bluemoon are now claiming Pep is interested in him and they hope he signs him just to cause some kind of meltdown amongst Man Utd fans.
Who in their right mind would even consider joining City this summer with what is coming in November?

Maguire played for Hull until 2017. Leicester won the league in 2015/16 season.
It'll be the 3 of them (or more likely, somebody else in place of Branthwaite) competing for the 2 CB spots. I think the injury crisis of last season has scared the United hierarchy into actually addressing one of the positions in the squad correctly.
What's coming in November?
I think the word you were looking for is ‘ambipedal’. Although I have to admit I much prefer ambifootrus Brilliant!
The hearing over the 115 charges and the very real possibility of expulsion from the Premier League.
Who in their right mind would have a meltdown because Jarrad Braintheaite joined another club.
Madness if we pay £70m for this lad. He's a good player but can you name a single CB worth £70m even in this modern day market?
The proclivity these days is to have at least one of the full backs be an ancillary center back, while you potentially let the other push up really high. I wouldn’t be surprised to see us line up with all three at some points. Both Martinez and Branthwaite can play LCB and LB, and both are left footed. I could easily see Dalot, De Ligt, Barthwaite, Martinez, with Ugarte and Mainoo in front, being our primary defensive unit for next season. Shaw would operate as rotation for those LB, LCB roles. It similar to how City line up with Gvardiol, and Arsenal with White.

I don’t hate this at all.
Probably won’t happen but that would be so beautiful.
For me the finances of this are looking unappealing in that we're not really seeing much budge from Everton. I have doubts about De Ligt but you look at it on paper and you're getting a relatively young international footballer with top flight club experience, versus a bloke that's done well for a relegation candidate. Essentially a promising player at this stage.
Everton have their valuation and fair enough, they can set whatever they want but I think we're right to have some irons in the fire rather than being wedded to this one which the previous regimes constantly made a mistake of doing.

I feel like this is where our negotiation falls down if we’re going back in for him.
I absolutely hate dealing with PL clubs. They’ve lost all understanding of the food chain.
Wenger style, adding 1 pound
Saliba easily, if he was available. Probably a few others as well, but yeah, it would be a small number.
So stupid.
As expected. Think this would be our final bid and it would be done between 55 to 60 with add-ons .
Surely they'd take Lindelof or Kambawala as part of the deal.
Good, but this should be our last offer and I'm expecting that to be the case as well, to be honest. Branthwaite's value is a bit higher IMO than the 45+5m we offered, but at the same time I hope we don't go above 55/60.
I expect United will need to sell a few more players before returning with a 3rd bid.
100m joint bid for DCL and Branthwaite incoming? 
If we could land Yoro him and de ligt are more than enough.
When is he handing in a transfer request? After the third bid?
Why go back for him IF we want Yoro? 3 first choice defenders for 2 spots is great but 4 is too much. 3 first choice, one who is fine with being backup (Lindelof or Harry) and one young as 5th option (Kambwala) is perfect balance.
Yes, yes, i know; injuries. But what about those periods when all are fit? You can't rotate defenders every game.

How? same shit. They will get what they want. We started at 35 m, will end up paying 60-70 for a player is not worth half that.
we’re most likely not getting yoro
When we offer 60. He gets transfer, Everton get money and we can say that we didn't need to spend 70 mil.
