I genuinely couldn’t tell you a single game Lindelof played for us last season

Played left back at one point didn’t he?

The BBC are reporting that we have agreed personal terms with Branthwiate, so looks like its genuine. They are also saying that Everton want £80m. That is about £30m too much for me. Might be a good chance that this one doesn't happen.

Isn’t there some clause we get him cheaper before June 30? IMO it’ll be done for like £50 million plus add ons

There’s no clause but Everton need the cash before July.

He played a few at LB, like City, and looks atrocious. He needs to be shipped out.

Just heard on the radio while driving that it’s reported we’ve submitted an offer of around £35m, which will be rejected as they’re asking for £70m.

What sort of fee do you think you are looking at with Braithwaite.

Similar benchamarks - White to Arsenal £50m, but that was a few years back

Stones to City, £50m but also ages ago

VDV to Spurs £43m although probably lower profile and now PL/English tax.

I can see Everton wanting a good £55m with add-ons as they would probably rather sell others ahead of Braithwaite, although may be forced into a sale.

This will be like the summer we bid £12m for both Baines and Fellaini, and ended up with just Fellaini for £27m. And he had a release clause of £23m which we let expire.

I expect us to eventually have to pay Everton £80m and receive Michael Keane in return...
