Union flag and/or St George Cross as part of Twitter name usually indicates low intelligence along with hard right politics (and inevitable Brexit support).

Don’t be a dickhead.

I've read some Leeds fans are slightly concerned that Bielsa staying might hinge on them getting White. That would be the most satisfying scenario. White stays at Brighton, Bielsa walks, Leeds relegated, Brighton fans deliriously happy.

Wondering if that ever crossed TBs thoughts? Think its a yes

They’ve got us talking bollox now. I did point out that this would be a prima facie case of tapping up.

"The sensible thing to do is move on.

Go get highly rated Argentina International Lucas Martinez Quarta.

Go get Juan Foyth.

Go get Malang Sarr.

Yes it would be nice to get White as he knows the system and did very well in the Championship but he isnt Maldini.

We arent talking about the best of the best, he is a talented young inexperienced cb who has shown he can do very well in the EFL.

We cant afford to spend 2, 3×s his actual value on what he might be, we have to value on what he is now which is what is above.

£18mil was more then fair, £22mil was bordering on daft, any more is ridiculous.

Thanks for last season Ben, shame it wasnt possible to sign you, move on."



They're not ALL mad then...


Didn't Webster cost north of £20m? If White is as good as some Leeds fans make out, then £30m is a bargain...

Lads I don't think the whole loaning a player out to sunset club thing is for you considering how worked up you are over all of this.

Perhaps try again in English. What is a sunset club ?
As to loaning our players, it’s part of the plan but the receiving clubs do need to understand the situation. I’m sure you would agree as it relates to your loaned out players. If Ben has been tapped up in any way then expect Brighton to pursue it with full force with the PL.

Lads I don't think the whole loaning a player out to sunset club thing is for you considering how worked up you are over all of this.

Last year we loaned a total of thirty players at various stages in their careers, to Alaves, Blackburn, Boca Juniors, Brugge, Burgess Hill, Charlton, Cincinnati, Crawley, Den Haag, Derby, Fortuna Sittard, Fulham, Galatasary, Herenveen, Hoffenheim, Lancing, Leeds, Millwall, QPR, Rochdale, St Pauli, Union St Gilloise, Wigan, Wimbledon, Worthing, Yeovil & Zaglebie Sosnowiec.

All of these clubs' fans, bar one, understood that, if there wasn't a loan to buy arrangement in place, then the player would return to Brighton and that the loan deal gave them no special rights to force a sale. Any bid made would be no different from a bid from any club, for any of our players, whether they had been on loan or not.

Although many of those on loan have received plaudits, the club that probably benefited most from a loan from us was Leeds, who got promoted, and won their league with our loan player playing every minute and winning their player of the year. The Leeds fans decided to show their gratitude by arguing that the player is being held against his will at our club, that we did nothing for his development and that we don't value him. When their club made derisory bids to buy him, they then argued that we simultaneously didn't value him like they do and yet over-valued him, but still wouldn't be playing him. They started a laughable internet campaign and some even visited our ground to escalate this silliness. They have a very special way of saying 'Thank You'.

Evidence would suggest that there is only one set of fans who have a problem with the loan system. There is only one set of fans looking like they would set up a picket line outside of their holiday cottage if the owner refused to sell it to them for a fraction of its value.

We Brighton fans have absolutely no problem with the loan system. Our club's use of it has added value to many more players than Ben White this year thanks. The only thing currently irritating us is Leeds fans.

P.S. Radiohead are just the 90s Supertramp.

Agree with all of this.

*except both Radiohead and Supertramp are excellent.

No.

It's not for Leeds. They don't understand how a temporary loan in which we refused to include a 'to-buy' clause works.


Best not loan to them again until they show they can grasp the concept.
