Makes all the difference. If we ever sell Brandon Williams we'll get about two pence because of the stupid contract we gave him.

Great fee for a player who could barely control the ball last season.
That said, he's obviously low on confidence, so expect his performances to improve when he's starting regularly at a club with significantly less pressure.
Good luck to the lad.

I had high hopes for him. Hopes he has a good career.
15M is really good money for him. I was expecting 8-10M considering he barely played last season and the whole world knows he's not going to make it here.
Good luck to him. 15M is a real good deal if it's true.
A Rangnick favourite. Best of luck to him.
Seems a good lad, so best of luck to him. I think the fee is pretty decent too.
Yeah 65k a week is huge. He is nowhere near that type of salary.
I would really like to know what they are/were smoking at Carrington. 65k pw
Moan moan moan. What a load of cobblers
Great deal for all parties. Hope he does well there. Seems like a good lad and a model professional, just doesn't have the quality for this level (which is nothing to be ashamed of, as most other PL players don't either).
Good deal, hope he does well. Seems like a nice fella.
They were but hey why let the facts get in the way
Wow! No wonder he’s strutting about wearing a big BW necklace.
Forest now gets a promising, young attacker on left to form their young frontline trident. Good for Elanga to continue his development. Do we have buyback clause?
Same price as Alan Shearer and twice as much as Andy Cole
Just for comparison McTominay is on 60k, 5k less than him.I would really like to know what they are/were smoking at Carrington. 65k pw
Yeah I remember Mitten saying his wages were prohibitive for teams (lower PL and Championship) that would otherwise be interested.
Whoever sectioned £65k a week for BW needs sacking on the spot and a public flogging
wtf
£15M and reportedly a small sell on clause is a good fee for Elanga. He hasn't scored a club goal in 18 months and hardly featured last season. Forest is a good move for him I reckon he will do decent there. Anyway I wish him all the best, I will always remember his goal against Atletico. One of the high points of a shite season.
I did think that, but it doesn’t flow as well - not enough syllables in Andre!!Rhythm is a dancer, Andre Onana?

Well said.
Williams definitely isn't earning as much as people think he is. It was reported as up to 60odd thousand a week. With his injuries and falling down the pecking order, he's not getting close to that.
why would him getting injured and falling down the pecking order impact his contract?
he signed it years ago
I'm not sure you understand how contracts work
I simply mean that the 65k isn't his basic wage. His lack of playing time means he's earning only the basic wages and not the appearances bonuses and similar that are included to make up the 65k.
whatever the make-up of these contracts it certainly isn't helping us shift our players who don't get in the team
so I'm guessing the basic wage is making up the bulk of it, otherwise we could shift them away quite easily
I think he actually has talent if played consistently and in the right role/system. So it’s a fair price for me.
I do remember talk about a significant (ie. probably more than normal) amount of Williams wage being made up of add-ons, in which case he'd actually be getting quite a lot less. Not sure if that is actually true or if it was just people guessing because of how obviously ridiculous the wage was though.
There's zero chance Brandon Williams is earning more than McTominay. Both signed their new contracts very close to each other and the latter had a much higher status in the squad. People shouldn't believe those wages reported online, clubs never leak their details and even the final figures reported aren't always true.
Williams is earning way too much but that would be the case for any United player on 1st team wages who's barely championship level like him.
But I thought United couldn't sell players for decent fees....etc etc?
He's a good player and got a feeling he will shine at Forest.

The difference is he can still improve a ton, is an excellent athlete, works hard, and is not a meme.
Was always excited to see Elanga, was chuffed when he broke through. Was definitely overplayed though, never thought he’d make so many appearances for us this quick.
There is a player in him but below the top 6,7 clubs. This is a good deal for Forest, solid addition to their squad.

Good deal for all parties, we got good fee, Forest will get young player with potential and also someone who can contribute this season. Elanga will get lot of mins which is needed for his development.
This guy would make a pretty good attacking wing back imo. £15mil would be great business for the club.
