If Leeds ever do bid a figure we deem acceptable, one of the big boys will swoop in & match it, and he'll end up at Liverpool/City/United. Thats how i see it going. He either stays with us or ends up at a top 6 club.

Precisely.

I still maintain we will have him this season and re-assess for next. Just makes no sense business wise to sell in a depressed market. His value will only increase or stay the same.

If he’s sold it’s not going to be to Leeds.

Liking someone’s comment can often mean you are just recognizing them and thanking them for commenting.

Especially if they are friends or acquaintances, if they are mutual fans, they have a good following (dude has 7x Ben White’s following), they are a celeb you like etc. It’s pretty natural. Even the Leeds fans seem fairly clear about this.

You can also argue Ben is still trying to instigate social media and hype. I’m sure the whole “all top 6 clubs are after him” and “most wanted player in England” and “worth $50m” and “future England star” has all been an effort to raise his value from a marketing standpoint.

If White is still negotiating his contract, him and his agent need things to move swiftly. The closer we get to the end of the transfer window the worse it gets for him. Especially if it closes.

Since he already has two years left on his contract and we have an option to buy a third he doesn’t have much leverage. But keeping his name in the headlines every day is the best option.

Let Potter assess him. I think the club will treat him well. Would love to get it wrapped up early.

Regardless, if he was unhappy or Potter still not sure, think Leeds is last club we’d sell to. Maybe a top 6 club or another league or (on his current contract) another loan to Championship.

Who is his agent by the way?
Someone said it’s the same as Dale Stephen’s agent?

Is he too scared to come out and say that any White deal is dead in the water, for fear of the Leeds fans reaction?

All their fans are very worried on his Twitter. Team is weaker than what got out of the championship only because they had a three month break.
