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

[Neutralobserver]

As a neutral, I think there´s one important point that people aren´t thinking about. Ben White played every game and every minute for Leeds last year. Do you not find that extremely unsual? Not one knock or tweek? Whether he stays at Brighton or moves to Leeds or Liverpool, what happens if he starts the first game against cloggers like Burnley, Palace, Everton or Newcastle and breaks his leg? Whoever bought or sold him would be gutted or relieved apart from Liverpool who don´t need to worry about money. 30M is a big risk for ANY player.

No one is fretting over Bielsa's contract.

It is all sorted but you ain't Leeds so wouldn't know that of course.

Not a good WUM are you?.

Nice in Wetherby; lucky you.

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.

Nah, we can just pluck another oven-ready CB off the Lancing conveyor belt

Yes, official announcement on Waccoe, but no-one else is allowed to look at it!

Dunno what the fuss is all about. A couple of weeks pre-season training and he'll forget all about Leeds.

'Football Insider claim the latest offer was for £30m, yet the Seagulls have once again knocked it back.

The offer would have comfortably broken the record for Leeds' most expensive signing, which was Rio Ferdinand from West Ham in 2000 for £18m.

It shows how determined Leeds are to hold onto White following his excellent loan spell that helped the club to promotion back to the Premier League'

Exam question:

Explain the contradiction in this newspaper report.....

 

[Seagulls1984]

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.

Bloom knows at the end of next season he will be worth nearer double that and will have a bidding war between the top 6 .

Aren't there a few.

Leeds have not offered 30 mill so therefore nothing to reject..

As above, we don't have to get into specifics of what is or isn't known by people close to Ben; very few will be privy to that information and rightly so. White has been very professional about the whole saga.

I will re-iterate my above post, any club who bids on a player knows beforehand that player is willing to join them?

Doesn't mean the move will happen, doesn't mean he won't go onto have a successful career at Brighton, doesn't mean we won if he signs for us . . . it's just what it is.

Regards

Glad you included a question mark in this point, because I don't think that is the case. In many situations, clubs will follow the agreed process of contacting the club about a player, and seeking approval to contact the player.

OR maybe Bloom & co want to keep the good players and build a team to take us to the next level. We don’t need to sell our best players, so why not keep them and push on?

I can understand the Leeds whackos failing to grasp the idea, but Albion fans?
The future is Bright.

At the moment, there’s no assistant manager, coach, performance analyst & another member of the coaching staff because they’ve all gone to Huddersfield. Bielsa needs to sort himself out pretty quickly to replace them before thinking about players. Has he found anyone to interpret for him yet?

What an absolute piece of drivel that article is. You know its low-tier journalism/reporting when they're mentioning the embarrassing FreeBenWhite "campaign" on Twitter.

Don't particularly rate The Argus, but you'll never see them do that...

Do you not know the man? He can do it all himself, play centre back and striker at the same as well as turn water into wine!

He doesnt say that, he says specifcally, no bid of 30 million (reported figure) was made.

Could Leeds have offered say 25 million or X + add ons? He doesnt say leeds havent bid he only says Leeds havnt bid 30 million.

Still nobody has the first clue whats going on

Starting to sound a bit of a fool yourself to be fair.

Have i mentioned any of these things?

If you read replies from muppets, no doubt you will start to post in a similar vein.

Any club who bids on a player knows that player is interested in joining them beforehand.

I think it's probably a fair shout that Ben White would be happy/willing to join Leeds. They're going into the Premier League, he's just had a great season there's the fans love him. Why would he be against joining them?

The problem is, this doesn't mean that he is DESPERATE to join Leeds and needs rescuing from Brighton.

If it's all done why not announce it? It might even help to encourage players to sign for Leeds.

Wouldn't be surprised if Tony used a few spare quid to massively short oil/some other obvious stocks and commodities a few months ago (know I would have if I'd had the spare cash) and is now sat on an even bigger wallet than we've ever imagined. After all, he's clearly quite good at this "making tons of money" thing.

We certainly don't need to sell our players to newly prompted teams. As poor little Leeds are discovering.

Surely you must be a bit concerned about next season. Does not look as though you are going to get Ben White and Kalvin Philips wants to go to Aston Villa. Bit concerning!
