[Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

[Withdean11]

Not me.

I'm delighted for him and delighted for us (£50m is ridiculous).

Just want it confirmed now so we can move on & press on.

Mixed emotions for me.

It's sad to see a player of Ben's talent & potential leave us, but it's fantastic to see the Albion producing players sold for £50m

So now it's almost over, how quickly do you think Brighton will be media scrubbed out of "The Ben White Story"?

Ben White was released by Southampton, before being picked up by Brighton at 16. He then had a series of successful loan moves to Newport, Peterborough and Leeds before breaking into the Brighton first team where he really excelled to earn a call up to England. He now plies his trade for Arsenal after securing a well-deserved £50m move.

Good effort! - and sadly probably very accurate.

Is that their kit this year? Urgh. I don't like it.

Fair play to him. Great deal for all parties and wish him all the very best (except against us)

 

[Greg Bobkin]

ANNOUNCE £50m STRIKER!

... and Darmesh on SSN has immediately rerminded us that he went on loan to Leeds.

Better change the Avatar now it's official.

 

[brightn'ove]

Undisclosed fee?

I thought we all thought/knew it was £50m?

We never disclose anything. Numbers come from leaks, not official sources.

 

[Clive Walker]

this is right out of the blue

 

[Monkey Man]

A good deal but I was kind of hoping he'd move to a nicer club than Arsenal.

In recent years my opinion of that club has fallen quite a bit (it started with the A4 Wenger Out signs) and I don't think a lot of their fans deserve to see exciting signings like this.

I'll get over it though.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Finally we can all concentrate on ALBION......

 

[Beanstalk]

On a logical level, I'm over the moon about this. £50m for our third best centre-back, stunning stuff.

On an emotional level, always hurts when a player you quite like leaves doesn't it.

 

[Curious Orange]

So how much do we owe Leeds for their sell-on?

 

[Meade's Ball]

A shame we couldn't see more of him, or any of him in person for many of us, but off he goes, for a ridiculous record fee. And off we go too, without a vast hole in our identity, but more an example of the years to come.

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

 

[gazingdown]

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

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Has he gone yet

Yes.
