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

[hampshirebrightonboy]

Yeah. £10m should be enough. We’ll decide that’s enough. They’re being greedy otherwise.

He’s wasted at Leeds playing hoof ball with Bielsa. He’s Brighton through and through. #freekalvinphillps [emoji23]

and he's mates with Ben

Totally DISGUSTING from Leeds if they don't accept. Who do they think they are!? They're holding him against his will. We would't bid for him unless we KNEW he wanted to come.

 

[peterward]

Was in L'equipe actually.

I didn't know that. 50 players been bid for? How many do you need to sign before Marcelo signs his new contract?

Exactly. L’equipe......... Like some cocky, jack the lad, thinks he’s Gods gift.........bounds over in front of his mates, to pull what he thought was a sure fire pick up..... only to get blown out... before walking back towards the laughing observers, trying to make out it was only a joke and she’s a dog anyway.

That Tweet is ambiguous. It is unclear as to whether there has been a bid of £30 million but Brighton haven't rejected it, or if there has been no bid in the first place.

They’ve started a thread on that on WACCOE today. I forgot the other player mentioned (and no idea of the veracity of it), but they said something about after last season there was one player Bielsa absolutely insisted for him to re-sign, they eventually got him and re-signed. They’re certainly debating if White is a condition of Bielsa

If The Leeds United - Pride of Yorkshire, were to 'lose' White and Elsa solely through Mr Bloom being The Lizard, that would just about finish me off.

There's no way I could recover from my sides splitting, my head falling off and my bladder constantly emptying.

Amazingly I would probably end 2020 laughing more than any other year in my lifetime...






...and so far I haven't laughed once.

If Scousers put a big bid in then i think we need to cash in, but cant sell to another bottom 6 club

 

[forumwayseagull]

I got the impression it meant that there has been no 30 mill bid to reject...

I know there's been paper talk and lots of Tweets, but I wouldn't think that Liverpool will pay the sort of money we want for White. I believe he will remain our player in the new season.

£40M on unproven youth players isn't really Liverpools thing is it?

Came out of the blue did that link and hard to know what to believe at times of course such is social media and every f****r thinking he is an ITK journalist. Our go to guy who writes for 'the athletic' has close ties to the club and has told us the players the club like and will chase. This guy and others like him were not mentioned.

We are led to believe that Leeds were interested but It could have even been a phone call from our club to theirs asking about his situation. However that link may have been used to raise the price that Lille eventually paid since the player wanted to go there and apparently wasn't interested in other clubs.

From his pictures and general play - yeah, the obligatory youtube collection - he didn't look a Bielsa player at all and looked well out of shape. No-one really was fussed about him. As Villa and Brighton have found, very easy to throw money at European based players who cannot cut the mustard.

Think you're grasping at straws a bit here to make a point but . . . you are not alone.

Serious question. Do Leeds United ever send players out on loan to clubs further down the footballing pyramid? If the answer is yes, what is the reason for the loan.

30 million bid BS?

Bit of a unique situation one though, as a Premier League Leeds United guided by Marcelo Bielsa are a much bigger draw than Brighton. Especially so when you figure in how he'd be first choice here, in a system and under a coach that suits him to a tee, which he'll acknowledge.

It's as if he's outgrown Brighton football club without really kicking a ball for you.

It looks like they loaned out 6 players last season. I don’t think any of them did well so no story there. Whereas we had several so very well in the champo. Difference between a premier league side and the new boys I guess.

If we rejected a 30 million bid I think you can take it that TB is not going to sell BW to Leeds. That is an insane price however much potential he has

......and of those 6 how many came with an option to buy?

I actually thought Bloom would take 30 million if that bid is confirmed to be true. Staggering really. I cannot see Leeds coming back with another offer. If reports are correct Bloom wants 40 million.

Thanks......the northern mirror journo is saying that article isn’t correct. The Leeds live is also quoting the original “football insider” quote.

Just remains to be seen if the mirror journo means no 30 million bid was actually made, or if a 30 million bid hasn’t been rejected (as football insider stated)

 

[Springal]

People need to consider - we paid £18M-£20M for Adam Webster. If we sell Ben White and Shane Duffy - we need to spend minimum £20M to replace as a ball playing CB. Especially if Potter wants to try and move to a back 3

It isn't 'really' about the money, it is about having the right kind of player that we know to go straight into the first team.
