[Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.

[nwgull]

Have they ?

Not convinced.

Where has all the undermining of White's contract status with BHAFC come from ?

The Leeds Utd media posting click bait articles has been mainly responsible coz they know if will proliferate and generate traffic through their over-entitled fan base.

Leeds as a club have done nothing more than make a bid for a player that they’ve loaned off of us, which they’re perfectly entitled to do.

Any outstanding player holds all the cards. Just one mention by his agent that he will run his contract down he will get what he wants. Is his contract for another year or two.
It would be nice to have a statement from him on how he enjoyed his stay at Leeds and was now looking forward to playing for Brighton

No they don’t. Bloom can legally run his contract down for the next three years. The idea of a billionaire being held to ransom by someone without a full first team league appearance is hilarious. Wobble your head mate.

Not convinced at all about that.

These pathetic direct quotes from their MD would indicate, perhaps, it’s more than just a couple of bids.

“We have a small competitive advantage there, but ultimately, we’re now going to be fighting with some big names for his signature.”

Why is he talking in public like this about one of our players who is not for sale. Ridiculous!

After all the drama of the past couple of weeks, I really think we should create our own 'Free Ben White' campaign....

Ben White really should be free from the stifling, toxic emotional blackmail and extreme bad manners of the Leeds fans attempting to discredit the Club to which he is contracted for the next two years.

This is the instagram post White put out after the last game of the season

Having had some time to reflect on what has been the most incredible season, I wanted to take the time to thank everyone associated with Leeds United Football Club, including the incredible supporters.

“No matter what happens from here I will never forget the way you took me in and treated me as one of your own from day one.


The Leeds fans then got all moist cos he says “no matter what happens from here” which they took as code for “ I’ll be back”


As Forrests Mum says” Stupid is as stupid does”

Nah, let's let the Leeds fans embarrass themselves over all this

3 years if we take up the option.

 

[lawros left foot]

3 years if we take up the option.

Hasn’t both parties got to agree to the option?
I can’t see him agreeing to an extra year if he’s sitting in the stiffs having fallen out with the club.

Could this be anymore contradictory if it tried...

“ White has never played for Brighton in the league and found himself carted off to Newport County and Peterborough United in the years before United came calling.

Carted !! Really is that what the loan system is called and all about ? There’s me thinking it was called nurturing

White will recognise that lack of faith in Sussex and look to what was put into him by Bielsa.

Obviously, none showing in him by the Albion all these years then....
Doh....

Kinnear said: “Ben is going to be hugely sought-after. It’s one of the risks of doing the type of deal we did. I know supporters say ‘well, why isn’t there an option to buy him”

“The reality was Brighton weren’t prepared to do that, so it was either take the player without an option or don’t take him at all”.

Which tells you, yes you Leeds Fecking United, we, yes We #TeamslikeBrighton are in the fecking driving seat....

He is our player, our asset, and ultimately our decision if we wish to sell him to anyone.....

These comments etc, smack of tapping up.

No.

Ben White has no say in it.

I’d be appalled if the likes of Barber ever lowered themselves to that type of talk, luckily, our staff are better than that and I know it would never happen.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Yeah, no need to get involved in this kind of small club tinpottery

 

[lawros left foot]

The bottom line is , Leeds have bid for him twice, their bids were turned down because they didn’t meet our valuation of the player.

The rest is just noise.

its just a professional, neutral comment isnt it? could easily read it as "bye, thanks for memories".

I would imagine it’s already been agreed when he signed the contract that the club has the right to extend his contract for a further year. I suspect he could as well but wouldn’t need both parties to agree that

The language “carted off” is great. Remember last year he signed a new contract announced the same day as he was carted off to Leeds for the next stage of his development. All the quotes at the time were about one last development season before he was ready for the first team.

It'd be a bit of a pointless option if that was the case. No different to signing a one-year contract.

If the opt in exists, it is certainly weighted in favour of the club.

As ambiguous as it could be really. Can be read as a goodbye or a hopefully be back soon depending on how people want to interpret it
