[Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.
- Thread starter ewe2
- Start date
Essentially, that’s what the article says we plan to do.
“Brighton do not want to sell, and it would take an offer in excess of £50m to even tempt them to consider doing a deal.
SunSport understands they feel the market is depressed this summer because of the impact of Covid-19.
And they believe he will be worth much more next year after a campaign in the Premier League with them.
Instead boss Graham Potter wants White to form a powerful-looking back three alongside Adam Webster and Lewis Dunk, another player who has attracted attention from Chelsea.”

Just about to post that too https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12418521/ben-white-transfer-brighton-manchester-united-liverpoool-chelsea/
have they actually bid 30 Million? or more BS?
I'm just enjoying finally having a (relative) youngster worth megabucks - we've not had one before.

See the match?
Right? I think this and the Bissouma-Arsenal thing are evidence that we are making progress as a Premier League team and brand.

Well bugger me. I never thought I'd see an Albion player with a £50m + price tag.

This really is a colossal win for us no matter how it turns out.
Well, unless we keep him and he turns out to be shite

Sun sports editor " we need a story"
Reporter " well as can go with Dunk to Chelsea "
Editor " we done that today, who's the other one at Brighton that Leeds want? "
Reporter " Ben White, Liverpool interested as well"
Editor " that's the one, spice it up a bit add Chelsea and now Man United after tonight's defeat"
Leeds fans will push for Liverpool, as they believe that he will be loaned back to Leeds even though they have been told that is not allowed. Leeds will get him next season after taking Liverpool's title.

Just read the article, It said Leeds made 2 bids, we know one was for £20 million the other was for £22 million plus add on's, where do they get the £30 million plus add one's of £5 million?
The 30 million bid that was mentioned on social media then confirmed not to have happened I assume

So the sun have not got the story right. Publishing fiction instead of facts, whom of thought that?
Oh wait it's the Sun.

If I had a degree in emotional intelligence and a development squad/ facilities that seem to be churning out classy players hand over hand... and with a billionaire backer that trusted my decisions and ability both financially and emotionally I’d be tempted to...oh I don’t know...**** with an elderly argentine idealist who seems to be linking his future with players he can neither afford or develop. And the way I’d do it would be to signal (to a team who we are likely to need a slight edge over in the coming months) that the player who they credit for single handedly giving them the championship is, perhaps, not quite good enough for the Premier League and needs to wait in line for his chance at the Albion...I’d dangle Ben White in front of those Yorkie subbies like a virgins chastity at a stag night. Of course I’d make sure he was absolutely contractually bound hand and foot first. But I’m sure Tony and Dan have that nailed down tighter than grannies drawers.
I’d then just sit and read WACCOE with a cigar.

Possible £50 million for a player that never played a league match for us, incredible. We are now big time.
Who was the player we brought, and sold a few weeks later to a Scottish team for a profit?

We sold Adam Virgo to Celtic for £1m.
He was in the Holligdean that season having not featured ONCE and was taking £10k a week.
He bought my Rolex.

Funnily enough I was reading about that Italian bloke “Rizlarips” or whatever his name is telling us that UNDER NO CIRCUSTANCES are the mighty going to “do a Fulham” and spunk £150million on players to stay up.
With Ben they’d be halfway there on one CB.
