Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Well as United paid £80m for Maguire several years ago, then they must surely value Branthwaite at over £100m.
Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Would happily take £100 million as long as Maguire was not part of the deal, according to some reports Carlisle would get £10 million of that !
Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Carlisle have always kept quiet what the sell on clause is but I've a mate who's a big Carlisle fan, story at the time was that they were so skint we offered a higher initial fee in sacrafice for a larger sell on so we might not owe a huge amount.
I wouldn't mind them doing well out the deal though, £5-10m would be transformational for a club like Carlisle. They'll probably get another wee lift after his England call up too.
Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
I understand they are doing quite well out of the payment per appearance clause which I am sure is higher than they might have expected given the number of starts he has made. This clause may well have been at tge expense of a reduced sell on percentage but good on them, they are hoping to fund a new training ground and ground improvements.Gash wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 1:34 pm Carlisle have always kept quiet what the sell on clause is but I've a mate who's a big Carlisle fan, story at the time was that they were so skint we offered a higher initial fee in sacrafice for a larger sell on so we might not owe a huge amount.

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
We keep him for another season (I know) and he skips united and joins Uncle Carlo or someone decent.
Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Will require lots of things to happen for it not to. And it's devastating. Perennial stepping stone.
Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Seems the FA have said they won't allow agents access to their players to discuss transfers whilst the Euro's are on, so if he does get called up we'll be under and even shorter time frame to get the deal done between season end and when the squad meets up.
Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Any deals for players will be 'done' long before the Euro's start I'd imagine, even if they're not official.

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
If we were Brighton he'd go for 150m.
As we're not it'll be half that at best.

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Brilliant player... I do think he's going to ground too often, some of it is to make up for someone having being beaten and it's required, but also think he's doing it at other points where maybe his positioning or anticipation hasn't been quite right.
Obviously he's not the finished article and he's bloody fantastic already, but do think it's an area he needs to work on.

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
I think he gets a lot of the tackles spot on when he goes to ground and is actually quite good at reading the situation - I think it is the opposite of poor positioning or anticipation. Of course he won’t always get them right but there aren’t many players in world football playing CB who tackle with such effectiveness given his frame and stature.AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 8:55 pm Brilliant player...

He was a class above on the pitch today.
We cannot stand in this lads way if we get the right money for him, which should only be a world record for a defender. Nothing less is suitable. I am all for doing the best we can for the club but the lad in a once in a generation defender and deserves to be playing at the very top surrounded by world class players. At the moment, that is not with us.
