[Football] Arsenal’s Ben White
- Thread starter Paulie Gualtieri
- Start date
Mings was a left back at Ipswich and Bournemouth, only converted to centre back at Villa in the Championship. And he looks every inch a converted second division left back to me.
Utterly bizarre he's anywhere near a premier league starting 11, let alone an England squad.

No they don’t. My in-laws are Villa fans and they’re not having him at all!

Might have to purchase DFP Jr his first England shirt at this rate.
Friends with 3 Villa fans locally in Hove and they are some of the most biased fans I've ever come across. Always coming out with Grealish has never dived ever and Villa should be pushing for CL places etc etc (yawn!). Even they all say Mings shouldn't be in the England squad.

We might be partly in agreement
?/In that Howe shouldn't be criticised for not playing Mings. Imho he wasn't as good at that time as the CB's paired by Howe.

Just seen the Ben White is the 26th man clip on Sky Sports news, Leeds arse licking bias in abundance.
Showing clips of him playing for Leeds and said "Ben White who had a great first premier league campaign, also was a big part of Leeds United's promotion to the premier league blah blah"

Mings is Shit. End of debate.
Will be popular with Albion fans - and the 'boo' boys.
Thank God he's not 88, eh?
SULLY COULDNT SHOOT

Look, we all agree that the best three CBs for England are White, Dunk and Webster. Southgate got 1 out of 3... I'm sure he'll get there in the end...

tinky ****in winky
just makes ya wanna spew eh......and to read in the Guardian that Southgate wasn't happy that Henderson took the pen instead of Calvert -Lewins....
what did he do about it ...?? suck his bow tie...??
Must admit, I am very proud of my Euro's fantasy team name - Ben White and Blue

Noice.
I'm picturing an enormous pile of post-it notes with hundreds of names considered before you came up with that.

I'm happy to let Leeds take all the credit they want for White's development. It makes it even funnier that a rival club is partly responsible for the fine player that we have. And they even paid us a loan fee to make him the asset he has become.
And while we're at it, thanks v much to Southampton for letting him go at 16 ....

Almost 88, it's a snip at £84.95.

Wouldn't be too surprised if he starts in Maguire's absence.
I’m worried too.
There are rumours currently going around on Twitter that someone who was at school with Ben when he was 7 clearly remembers him cracking the “knock knock, who’s there, doctor, doctor who” joke in the playground one break time.
If that’s true, and Ben IS guilty of slamming the wonderful NHS like this, when they’ve done so much for the nation during this pandemic, then his tournament is over before it’s even begun.
And serious questions need asking over his future at the Albion too.
