Agreed. I can see him in the England squad if he continues like this. Shows a lot of maturity for a young man. I said on the old board when he made his debut for Carlisle that he'd be a top player and would play for England and everybody just laughed. They're not laughing now! Reminds me of the Bob Monkhouse joke. People laughed when I said that I wanted to become a comedian. Well they're not laughing now!

Are Purepay due anything from the Branthwaite deal? If I was one of those mercenary money lenders and had a stranglehold of the club at the time then I would certainly be looking at a percentage as they practically owned us. No as even if they did the Piataks bought the terms of the debt, so they would get it.

.......and yet Beech used to employ him in MF. We're lucky he wasn't sold to Wrexham with Aaron Hayden on the cheap.

Was it not Pressley who played him in midfield at Morecambe in the Leyland Daf Shield and got the sack the next day!

Another start, another clean sheet for Branthwaite who played through a first-half knock as Everton beat Chelsea 2-0

I ill bet when they got the deduction he was rubbing his hands a chance to get a load of money motivated shits up for a fight.

A caller on radio 5 phone in last night also suggested he should be in the England set up, but even on top form Southgate will pick out of form or favour club players. Although Lewis Dunk has bucked that trend.He does look comfortable ay international level. Lets hope young Branthwaite continues to get rave reviews in the coming months,having a local lad in the Euros will be fantastic.

What do we think our sell on is? Possibly a payment for international caps

Complete speculation!
Say he goes for £75m (Twitter Rumour Fee!) over say a 5yr deal, and we have 10%, we would expect to receive £7.5m, likely as £1.5m over the 5 years…

If he does go for even £50m, that’s a good portion of a new training ground paid for. I like the idea that the sale of an academy graduate has contributed to that directly.

I'm sure Nixon will have got them down to 1% after they offered 10%.
