But we met the asking price and are trying to wrap up the Yoro deal without throwing a fit. What’s the problem and what’s the surprise about? That’s what Everton fans would tell you.
If Everton are putting that out, sounds like either Branthwaite isn't happy with them for rejecting the first couple of bids or they were hoping United would return with a bigger bid.
They can go feck themselves
A random United reporter has who United fans hate.
Everton only just now realising it takes two to agree a deal? They must realise how pathetic they sound when they also look at what could be on the table for De Ligt.
I’m guessing they were surprised that we were not complete suckers like we were under Woodward and Arnold?
Again, if they’re not going to budge on their price, move on. The CB market is plentiful at the moment.

That's fair, I did say if. In any case, I think it was clear Everton preference was to sell Onana rather than Branthwaite. I think it probably suits United for him to stay there too, see if he performs as well this season.
At this point if we wanted a left footed player I’d rather go for that Hancko dude. Everton are being difficult (they have a right to since he’s their asset) so they can keep him.
We'll be back for him, I am sure of it. There was a reason we bid for him even before we bid for Yoro or De Ligt. We'll go for De Ligt if Everton knock back our third bid which will be in the region of £60m - £65m.
To be fair, they probably thought that they were speaking with Woody and Murtough.
they shouldn't be that surprised considering there are other targets out there who are younger, just as good but for a more reasonable price
everton tried to play hard ball and it back fired
It’s telling that no other club is on for Brainthwaite. We had to pay more for Yoro, as we had stiff competition from Madrid, but don’t bother convincing a blue scouser of that.
This is a really strange thread. 
Its every united transfer thread. Theres clicks to be farmed by making stuff up. You just have more insight into this one so can see more of the absurdity.This is a really strange thread.
Everton are surprised we called them on their bluffYoro at 52M > Branthwaite at 70M anyday of the week
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.

Na it’s Luckhurst being a clickbaiter.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.
But it does highlight Everton are being a bit silly in their valuation when the higher rated prospect across Europe goes for less and international caps are being brought up.
Branthwaite's ability to play RCB/LCB or LB might well mean we go for him over De Ligt
It's not silly when you don't want to sell.
Again, that narrative about being angry is being driven by United media, not Everton.
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.

I think it’s silly in the sense that when Everton next want to sign a player there’s little to then stop another club bumping the price up too.
How clubs behave in the market isn’t an isolated thing between potential buyer and seller. You’re getting a very public deal showing you over inflate the value of your players.
Onana at £50m is pretty much spot on, Branthwaite at £75m isn’t.
Maybe it’s just the case that you absolutely do not want to sell under any circumstances but do you believe you’d get that fee from any club in the future too? Do you also think the player wants to stay or would like to move at this point?
Being priced out of a move as a younger player then has a knock on when Everton want to sign younger talents with the view of being a step to the biggest clubs (I say this with utmost respect of Everton’s history)
Lurkhurst is making shit up. The fixed fee for Yoro is 50m euros.
Yeah, i mean theres probably been a bit of back on forth on that on your part to be fair. Every plausible eventuality will be covered by someone, somewhere and some people will comment on that story.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.
I presume you'd sell him if we actually met the 70m price anyway? As far as rebuilding your team that would go a long way and would improve you surely?
I mean I've repeated this multiple times but if other clubs do that then that's up to them, they're selling after all and it all depends on if you want to sell, you're actively open to selling or you're trying to sell.
I've said we don't want to sell and Branthwaite is happy to stay at Everton. All the sources from our media and the club indicate this.
Onana has been flirting with moving for ages and we are happy to let him go, hence why his fee wasn't higher and we set it at a price were we thought his value was reflected in the market.
Branthwaite hasn't been flirting with moving and we don't want to let him go hence why there is a fee we have set that is our too good to turn down price where the benefits to the club begin to outweigh the benefits of keeping the player. I think every single club in the world begins to have that with every player in the squad. For example, you and United will categorically not want to sell Mainoo, but if someone offers a fee that's too good to turn down, then you're obviously going to accept it.
I don't think it will really. We've signed or had multiple young players over the years that have moved on to bigger clubs despite holding out for big fees.
- Stones was bought for 3.5m Euros and sold for 55m Euros.
- Lukaku bought for 35m Euros and sold for 84m Euros.
- Richy bought for 39m Euros and sold for 58m Euros.
- Onana bought for 35m Euros and about to be sold for around 60m Euros.
- Gordon sold for c. 55m Euros.
Yet we are still signing young players.
Yep, as said above, I think that is the price to us where the benefit to the club begins to outweigh the benefit of keeping the player.
look at how unhappy @SilentWitness is at the prospect of being stuck with the little worm.

Very thorough and good response. Fair play. Fair play indeed.
don't make me angry
if you think you’re angry, think how brandweight feels. he’s now sat on the side of the dock, looking at all his hard work sailing by, knowing he’ll never amount to anything.
Don't you just love a relegation battle year after year.
The haters said we couldn't get him and they were right. Honestly, great call by the haters.
the price will continue to rise once you include add ons, signing on fees, VAT, agent fees, salary over 3 years, all the other extras over 5 years, petrol for the car carrying Yoro etc
I haven't seen that much of him but so many young English defenders get a big name with hype and their club ask for a huge fee and they drop into obscurity within a few years like that Oxford lad at the Hammers a few years back that was supposed to be brilliant
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.
I don't think many fans take any notice of this, Luckhurst is one that best ignored, most of the stuff he put out last season around Utd was trash
I think you are right on this one. Everton has way more money then Lille. You can afford to ask for what you would sell for even if it's over the top.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.
Hopefully this means we never go near him again.
Looks like a shite peter crouch. Don't want.
You mean, "generation talent", Jarrad Branthwaite?
I still remember the stunt (going off memory so details might be off) they pulled with Cleverly, where he was on his way to Villa for a good transfer fee and then Everton came in and messed up the deal. In the end he didnt get a permanent transfer to anyone and then went out on loan to Villa for the season then left us for free straight after as his contract was up (which was at the end of the same season). Then Everton signed him on a free meaning they messed up his transfer to Villa so they could sign him a year later for free.
I have never forgot that and I will revel the day they are relegated.
