Go Naija. But it's also funny and grounds for a little ribbing. Take it easy mate. I take all personal jibes on here in my stride and rarely retaliate in large part because - my life is enjoyable and fulfilling. I don't take any of this personally and neither should you. That's why I'm not brittle and don't resort to personal jibes. I post on here for fun. I'm having fun, seeing you rate all the Nigerian lads is fun-ny. When the fun stops, stop. Or do the work that earns you money. Spend time with your family or give a friend a call. Hey, you're the one that started talking about personal lives being fulfilling for some strange reason. From my experience people who are fulfilled don't tend to go around telling folks how fulfilled they are. It would be nice if you actually had an opinion about some of these players I spoke about, instead of worrying about whether or not they're Nigerian, literally, every single time. Then the discussion might actually be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Everyone overvalues their own players, but have a couple of Everton mates who have been raving over Branthwaite all season. In fairness they were right about Gordon, who they rated when I wrongly didn't (they did also agree that he's come on in leaps and bounds with us), so I kind of trust their judgement. Future England regular they reckon and £45m for Branthwaite still seems derisory for a 22 year old with years yet to reach his peak. I'd have loved for us to swoop in there and gazzump the low-ballers just for a laugh, but I guess with the Kelly transfer it's not a priority position for us.

It's what you paid for Gordon a year ago when he was still 21 and IMO more established than what Branthwaite is now. People trying to act like it's a derisory offer need their heads checked, and they wouldn't be saying it if it wasn't us that was putting in the bid.

gdm Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Froggy said: It's called negotiating. The same thing happened with Gordon. Correct. I’m sure they wanted £60m in the summer and were prepared to take less in the January because of PSR reasons. Newcastle took advantage of that. That’s still only £15m of a difference over two windows. Man United are near double that difference over 2 weeks this is what? Man Utd’s 3rd bid and are still £25m-£30m short. If Mike Ashley was bidding £45m for an £80m priced player you can absolutely bet everyone in here would be calling it derisory and “we tried” Edited July 9 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 That is a good offer for Branthwaite, he isn’t a £60 million footballer and it is debatable if he has to potential to become one either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
