Jarrad Branthwaite to consider Everton future after recent England omission

Sky along with all the media just love to make up these "reports"... probably scratching the backs of certain agents or interested buyers.

It is only a couple of weeks since Jarrad said he would love to captain the blues at the new Everton Stadium.

I would love a club to sue these liars for perpetrating these myths.

As Hemingway put it, we all need to develop a crap detector.

Do they know Spurs are the same points as us with Man Utd 3 points above us?

When you see Tuchel picking Burn and Henderson, it tells you what he's watching?

It will come down to the player, the club (owners), and inevitably his agent.

There are no quotes, so this is pure speculation that until something more substantial appears, I'll ignore it.

If Jarrad wants to move on for what he considers beneficial to his footballing and international ambitions, then I don't have an issue with that.

I guess we'll find out what is more important to him. England right now, or building on what he has already established at Everton, which would give him that anyway.

I'd rather we keep him, but it's beyond my control. Whatever and if anything materialises, as long as the club reinvest in the squad, I'll be happy and we move on.

We have young Jake waiting to take up his correct position, so we'll be okay in that area short-term, whilst we find an eventual successor for Tarkowski.

Maybe it's an age thing, but like many, I've seen so much of this over the years, I'm past getting worried about it.

I just hope it doesn't distract him on the pitch for the rest of the season, but he seems level-headed.

If we improve (like I think we will) in the next season I've no doubt he'll be in the squads going forwards and hopefully we can get him on a new deal.

I really hope we keep him but realistically, if he doesn't sign a new deal in the next 12 months, I think we do have to look at getting as much money as we can for him. Not this summer though unless it's a massive offer.

Fake story in a quiet news week.

File under toilet tissue.

We'll be getting four months of this when the season ends. Best get used to it.

Utter bullshit.

Pickford shows that you can get picked for England whilst playing for Everton.

Tottenham? They're the same level as us in the league table. Pickford gets picked every time for England.

This is Sky creating click bait and ToffeeWeb should recognise that in the article I think rather than presenting it as a serious story.

Let's file this media crap where it belongs and move on.

The silly season seems to have come a little earlier this year!

Pure media bullshit but, in the end, we inevitably lose out and, with saying his England career won't kick on unless he moves to another club, is just typical of the Everton-hating media.

Branthwaite is a class act and why on earth Quansah gets an England call when he cannot get a start with RS is beyond me.

However, there will be offers made I have no doubt and it's a question of Everton's financial situation that may decide his future plus of course what kind of back up does Moyes have for next season if he leaves.

Just another wannabe has-been club.

If we have to sell him, please can it be abroad?

He seems to be on £40k pw which is peanuts compared to Maguire £190k pw and Stones £250k pw.

We can offer him first team football and probs about £130k pw (same as top earner Doucoure) and he'll have his own view of realistic prospect of trophies and Champions League at different clubs including us.

If he, and we, continue to improve then that's good for both, Jarrad can get a pay rise and a chance at trophies and call ups to the England squad.

He needs to realise that if the manager is a prick and he doesn't get England call ups it's not because of who we are, it's because the manager is a prick.

Many players accept such agents, agents being self-employed get-rich-quick-on-the-back-of-"their"- player.

Players and agents of Premier League teams will make personal fortunes regarding their "enterprise" - at the clear expense, naturally and obviously, of their club's paying fans and TV deals, not that Everton is anywhere close to top-notch as a TV deal on account of the club cancer that was, and remains, Kenwright,

Coz they offered shit transfer money (of which Branthwaite and his agent get a shit %) and Woodwoodwood made a twat of himself.

RNS – Well, that's about as real as unicorn poop.

Man City — Bungs, bribes and embezzlement aside, if the fix is in and they arent relegated, what do they offer? If they are relegated, well…

Spurs – so the journalist is a Spurs fan.

File under Sky are Skum.

Anyway change of subject, final home game v Southampton, 15 minutes to go, Coleman comes off the bench. Everton get a penalty, what a send off that would be if Coleman stepped up to take the penalty!

Salah won't come here — we never get any penalties!

Now Salad? He hasn't quite had the effect on me that Ian Rush had when I was much younger, but in a parallel universe, what a coup that would be, just for the effect.

Anfield in tears and meltdown.

On another note, was I dreaming or did I see somewhere that Chelsea were looking at a move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin with Reece James coming to us???

Where’s he going? - Villa?

Its not who you play for, its how well you are playing and our boy Jarrad has shown more than a few fleeting glimpses of second season syndrome.

Maybe the most promising youngster in England, I think he is, but if you are England manager. you're not picking him on his performances this season
