[Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Shame, I was really hoping Leeds would loan him to us for another season if they didn't want him.

Very good player, brilliant price for us at this stage of his career; best of luck.

What a load of bollox that video is, touching the badge

Based on Alex Pritchard Road trip....

Wonder if the potential incomings will now soon happen, now we have found a few quid

The only difference it will make to our incoming recruitment policy is that selling clubs will try and factor in a few million extra quid because of this sale.

And we still won't be able to afford, or spend money on, the quality striker that everyone knows we need.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Leeds miss out on anything due to his age when he played for them.

Newport & Peterbrough will be getting something though.

Such a shame. He couldn’t even kick a ball properly before he went up there. Life is so UNFAIR

7 years at the club and Ben has nothing to say on the club statement or on his instagram/twitter? Strange

Maybe it'll come later

Yep. A disproportionate amount of footage of Brighton as well – you don't normally see that from the purchasing club, do you?

Nothing here.....

Good luck Ben, a brilliant young player, look forward to seeing your career progress further for England and to a bigger club than Arsenal.

Now to break the news to my 7 year old, there will be big tears and possible damage to his Albion shirt with White on the back!

A bit of not so clever piss taking...

 

[Nameless]

Good luck to him he'll do great up there if they recruit well around him, they seriously have work to do to get back into them european spots. However, personally i'm pretty happy about this one, I think he can be easily replaced potentially we already have the replacement and hopefully we can put this money to getting Cucurella over the line and a few other shrewd signings.

Ben who?

 

[dejavuatbtn]

For Ben, dreams can come true. This should be a catalyst for all our young players to aspire to great things. A great reflection on our club’s ability to spot and develop young players, and for them to go on to greater things. Sadly I can’t see us ever achieving to four, but we can follow and support our own players as they achieve their potential.

Yes touching the badge not good.

Mind you.....

I’ve missed your constant negative transfer window posts

 

[brighton_tom]

Didn’t want him to leave but he is replaceable & £50m (plus a sell on percentage of next sale) is fantastic business for us. We could feasibly replace him for free with Ostigard and now afford Cucurella/Livramento/Striker.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Wonder why it took so long to announce?

Perhaps we held back waiting for an announcement of our own, waits expectantly.

England’s Ben White

It’s a great deal and most importantly it’s a big step towards delivering Tony’s vision for the club. To buy, develop and nurture young talent into big players we can sell for huge profit and be entirely self sustaining.

Now the trick is, are we prepared for this. Do we have succession planning in place? I believe we do. I think we’re extremely well stocked in defensive areas. It’s now over to GP and his team to identify which of our young talent can step up into the first team squad. It’s a terrific opportunity for someone. I would assume from the outside Ostigard could be that guy. But our coach is not afraid to be left field with his selections.

I do feel he could have gone to a better club actually. But all the best Ben… and if anything, let’s hope people remember where he came from.
