INEOS dithering as usual. Worse than the Glazers, I swear.
Ajax played with a high line…
I also think there is a significant difference between the two technically. The carrier average passing completion of Maguire is in the lower range while de Ligt is in the higher range. And Maguire is not that much more of a progressive passer.
I agree that there are similarities. But a player like de Ligt is quite comfortable receiving the ball under pressure. The passing stats of de Ligt is similar to players like Stones, Dias and Saliba.
This Branthwaite thing seems like another hiding to nothing. Everton will never sell him cheap because English teams know better than anyone that they can hold United to ransom. I hope we move on when they reject our bids and that we're not doing the same old thing of chasing him all summer just to pay what they wanted on deadline day.
Difference here is that Everton need to raise significant money before the end of June, and I haven’t seen much genuine interest in Calvert-Lewis or Onana - their other two valuable assets.
I’m not convinced he’s what we need but if we do want him, we should make an offer of £40m that expires on the 30th June and be happily prepared to walk away if they haven’t accepted it by then.
This is coming from Martyn Ziegler as well, who's super reliable. I'm not surprised to see us go for Branthwaite given how strong the links have been in recent weeks.
More info on Olise (Tier 1):
Tier 4:
Is Branthwaite left footed?
This is all looking eerily familar.
Silly money.
Let's hope we have a plan b.
Ziegler says they want around £70M. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds with Everton under pressure to raise funds.
80m 
Swear to god I'll lose all faith in INEOS if they sanction it at that price.
Everton are in a bind here. Should call their bluff

We should put our energies into this guy rather than Olise.
Walk away now. For that money we can do much much better
K thnx, bye!!
I wonder if Maguire would potentially be part of that deal. Say 40m plus Maguire. That could leave funds for a RCB to come in as well or even two depending on Lindelof's future.
Maguire seems suited to Dyche-ball.
Branthwaite price has gone from £60m last week, to £70m yesterday to £80m now..... Media is so full of shit
Just offer a fair price and and if Everton won't sell move on. Don't waste the whole summer chasing a player that we won't get.
They want to do business. 55, I predict.
I genuinely do not understand the infatuation with Branthwaite. What the hell am I missing for him to be costing this much? Utterly ridiculous.
Well he is not worth £80 million - but he has all the attributes to be an excellent defender. He reminds a LOT of a young Gary Pallister - and I am convinced whoever gets him - will have a top, top defender for the next 10-12 years
Branthwaite is a really promising young defender. I like that we are trying to pick him up. But isn’t Everton in a situation where they need an injection of cash pretty soon? Can they really hold firm on a very high evaluation?
Well of course! Compromises must be made if we want to secure the services of this top level manager! I think that if we're serious about challenging for 7th next season and maybe even a positive goal difference, then we need to make those compromises and give him what he needs!
Of course they can't. Everton need to sell either him or Onana if they plan to strengthen their side in the summer. I think deep down they want to sell Branthwaite but they need to keep up the appearance that they want to keep him to get a good price. But I just can't see Everton turning down £60 million
I wouldn't be surprised if they let him go for £50 million + £6-7 million in long term clauses
He’s not, he’s also on £260k per week so don’t see it happening with a £55-65m fee as well nothing to see here.
ETH quickly going to find out, under Ineos what he wants and what he gets are two different things going forward!
We should have gone for Ito instead of going for Branthwaithe. He can play both lb and lcb. Ito now going to Bayern.
Which is why they are only too happy to offload De Ligt.
I really hope someday we are in a better position where we are a serious contender for the replacement player at the likes of Bayern/Madrid (even Chelsea in certain cases) instead of jumping at the chance to sign the player being replaced.
This gets done at £50+5 in extremely achievable add-ons think. Everton get a little less than they want, we pay a little more than we want too, but I feel it can be balanced with a good sale.
Unsettle the player, make an unacceptable bid, offer slightly higher then walk away if they persist with the ridiculous fees quoted. If true happy to see United getting into the transfer window nice and early.
