Branthwaite already being injured is a sign of him already trying to fit into the United way.
Love to see it

Newcastle we could rather spend 60m on guehi then on him. Just saying
I'd rather have Branthwaite
It will be interesting to see how much Guehi goes for. The tweet and article didn't align. Tweet said 60m deal and article stated fee was in excess of 60m.
Who knows what the thinking is. They have their share of big, strong bastards in Burn, Botman and co. Maybe they want a different profile with Guehi.
Romano said Palace want 65m
...which will strengthen Everton's stance about min. 65m for Branthwaite
It would only weaken Everton's hand. Guehi was picked ahead of Branthwaite for England and is being valued by Palace below Everton's Branthwaite valuation.
It's not really that significant though when Everton are saying they don't want to sell. £70m is above the players' actual worth because they don't want to sell.
As long is the player doesn't kick up a fuss it means little.
I don't think clubs care about who got picked ahead of who for England.
United and Everton probably both rate Branthwaite higher than Guéhi, and with the latter now moving for £65m, it's even less likely IMO that Everton lower their demands for the former. Not that it was likely in the first place anyways, though.
0 chance we’re in for him this summer.
We're not bringing in another CB before we bring in a midfielder surely?
I think if we offload McT and Sancho (Plus Lindelof/Mejbri and other 'fodder') then we can get Ugarte and Branthwaite
No thanks, not needed anymore and highly unlikely we can justify shelling out £50m+ on another defender
Down the pan more like, we have deligt and Yoro. Thats enough for now.
Can’t see it happening, unless we are permanently moving to a back 3.
No thanks.
Nah this is dead. We need to prioritize midfield & attack now. Unless both Maguire & Lindelof leave I can't see us spending 50 + m on him
I think it’s fairly obvious in an ideal world we would want Ugarte, Branthwaite and another striker this summer - that’s what has been reported all summer - it all depends on who we can shift.
Makes sense to sign him this summer then fully focus on the midfield next summer
I don't see how he fits unless we really are planning to use Martinez as an inverted left-back which would be a mistake in my opinion.
I’d want him even at 60m but would be overkill for this summer. Let’s get him next summer.
I can’t understand why people want this? We aren’t chelsea do we need to have 4 centre backs competing for two positions when we cannot shift Maguire and Lindelof and we already have Evan’s. Shaw can also step in.
Because we have a finite budget and should be prioritising some central midfielders. We’ve signed two CBs already.
No it doesn’t, we need midfielders or we’ll have another terrible season like last year, ten Hag will be sacked and we’re back to square one.
I'd prefer a left back who can simply stay fit.
Does ETH want to use Martinez at LB? That is the only logic I can think of for buying Branthwaite considering we've bought two CB's this window, all of which could also be considered as starters. Maybe not so much with Yoro but he will be back soon enough and hungry to break into the starting 11. Maguire or Lindelof have to be sold if this does happen.
I'd rather we get a proper midfielder instead.

If Maguire and Lindelof go I can see why we would want to bring him in.
There's plenty of game time to go around for 4 centre backs (Martinez, Deligt - Yoro, Brathwaite)

Both wont be sold this summer
I think you may have misread his response
We had a terrible year last season because we had no fit senior left backs and Jonny Evans at CB - guess what happened at the weekend? We had no fit senior left backs and Jonny Evans was starting at CB. If Lindelof leaves and Branthwaite is available for 60m we will sign him. Having 4 CBs plus Maguire - freeing Martinez as emergency cover at left back is not overkill given the issues we had last year and shaw/malacia/mazroui’s/Martinez injury records over the last 18 months.
How do we even manage minutes between him, Martinez, de Ligt and Yoro? All four would expect to play more often than not, at least with players like Maguire and Lindelof they will be happy enough to play backup to our first choice defenders.
Exactly... why would we buy 3 CBs and say ahh nevermind the midfield, there's always next year!
We don't have a realistic need for Branthwaite now , focus on getting midfielders now.
No thank you.
Let this be a lesson for greedy Everton and their ludicrous demands. PSR will come back to bite them on the backside.

You’re right — apologies @Steve 007 !
I’d rather we sign that chap from Atletico on a free if that’s the concern, then he can cover Licha and Chunkberto. And he doesn’t cost £60m.
Don’t forget both Mazraoui and Dalot can cover at LB too so that’s really not the best use of Licha.
The midfield problem becomes an issue next year when Casemiro and Eriksen depart
Getting 1 in now won’t fully fix it, it can be done next summer
That’s makes no sense. We have strengthened enough in defense while there is a gapping hole in CDM. We need someone with young legs able to cover a lot of ground. Ugarte is the right fit. He is available now for a decent price so he should and rightly be prioritized.
Makes no sense.
Its probably recycled bullshit from a month ago.
Not needed. Your scenario would still leave us with Maguire as back up. If we do raise some more funds I think it’s more likely we go for another midfield player (Fofana?) and possibly, budget allowing, a striker.
