Just curious if we could tell man utd we aren't selling Branthwaite. This season . Just offload the other deadwood. As Branthwaite hasn't exactly asked to leave yet! . Could we afford to do it?

I am worried Jarrad will start playing up and have his head. turned. really hope he doesn't and those around him don't overly influence.
Utd know we are in limbo with fiances, probably be some middle ground met.
Would love for us to dig our heels in and get what we value the lad at, crazy amount of money but even in today's market could well prove to be a bargain.

Utd don't have the money, that is why they are trying to get him on the cheap. They like a lot of others are sailing close to the wind with FFP.

It makes the most sense to string the Branthwaite one out over the entire summer. If we forget the ffp PSR for a moment. Those kind of historical massive transfers usually end up last day for record breaking fees. I'm not saying he's going to break the world or British transfer records obviously but he may well be the most expensive for his age etc. it could be multiples of 10s of millions added. I'd think KT and the sales team will be flogging off everything and everyone else first. I would not be surprised by a left field sale of someone like Garner for £30m and Goddfrey for a fee that reflects the final term of his contract to balance the end of year. Onana and Branthwaite really need to rumble on all summer to maximise the pay day.
{Ed002's Note - So you are happy for another points deduction or perhaps a transfer ban?}

Sounds stupid and I understand if I am deemed as such but I would take a points deduction if it meant getting maximum value for our top assets.
We have turned 2 points deductions in 1 season on their head before. I think getting an extra 30/ 50 million to invest in wages or players is more important to us atm than 2-6 points.
