Well well well, who’d of thought it. It’s the same as getting sound bites from Noel Whelan and Danny Mills, it’s all one sided nonsense.

I live in Manchester, obviously. Loads of United fans live around me (yes they don’t all live in London). Anyway, the one thing that makes them laugh is the hate shown to them by Leeds. They couldn’t care less. Now Man Utd and Liverpool, that’s another thing entirely.

Indeed, and if you read the Sky Sports News article it contains absolutely zero substance.

At the end of the day, Ben White will have to prove he is good enough for Brighton. He has no experience in the premier league, but apparently one good season in a poor Championship makes him the new Bobby Moore. We have cover at centre back, players with the experience of the premier. We have White for another 3 years, under contract. If he is silly enough to not agree to a new contract he can play for the U23, or we sell him for the best price, if it's Leeds then so be it, but I think the deal will be in excess of £30 million with add on and hefty sell on clause.
My gut feeling, White will be a Brighton player this season. We can take our time Leeds can't.

See the match?
Looking at the agent's profile this is a big deal for him and his career, future clients.
Lots of pressure.
Thing is clickbait for Leeds Utd must be by far the easiest way drive traffic to your website & generate advertising revenue.
It's a ghastly model but that's just the way it is, unless you charge a subscription like the Atlantic etc.
They just got promoted after 16 years and they have a HUGE fanbase in the top ten in British football.
Sadly we are part of this circus.

The issue is somewhat bigger than just Ben White. Personally whilst white looks class, he’s untested & I firmly believe we would be foolish to split the Webster / Dunk partnership. Can we keep a player who’s allegedly worth £30m plus as a reserve. Regardless a player worth in excess of that money should surely command £100k per week? So how much are Webster & Dunk worth if they are ahead of him ?
Regardless of contracts signed; any player would not wish to stay at a club when he would earn a fraction of his salary elsewhere. The flip side he leaves and a reserve starts earning £80k per week at another club, what does that signal to players who are ahead of him?
It’s a mess but illustrates the biggest dilemma in football atm. Wages and transparency of the opportunities elsewhere.
I personally would sell him and use the funds to sign a top goal scorer. Where to ? The highest bidder preferably with a sell on clause if it’s not a Man Utd, city or chelsea.

They're really not a 'Huge' club though. This year the championship winning season they averaged less than we did in our promotion season and every season from 2012 to when we went up in 2017 we averaged more in the Amex every season in the same division, than they did in Bellend Road. They've got a pretty big world wide fanbase and the old Leeds had its Halcyon days half a century ago, but you cannot compare them with the top cubs in size or stature. They're wannabees
No doubt a load of JCL's, plastics, day trippers and woodwork fans will come out now theyre in the PL to supplement their championship average (thats less than ours) and i do not thing we're bigger, but they are not a huge club by any stretch

If I was White’s agent I’d be doing EVERYTHING I could to get my client a new contract BEFORE the season started.
Because despite all the potential and belief people have in Ben..... if he struggles with the step up he won’t get the contract that his agent will be pushing for now.
I’m sure that’s why the club are quite relaxed about it .... 3 years left under contract so why give him what his agent is demanding at this stage.

Commentator and reporter, you know on Gillette Soccer Saturday when they hop around the ground and some poor tit is stood in the pouring rain reporting from The Priestfield Stadium, that’s what he does.

Seriously though can we afford to forsake £25m plus if we’re not going to play him. The choice in my view is play him or sell him, if he’s left in the stiffs everybody loses most of us as our asset depreciates in value.

Its definitely easier for him at Leeds, Leeds is like low hanging fruit. There, he's a bigger fish in a much smaller pond (squad talent), here there are much better players to compete for places with. Compete against high quality CB's or fill the only spot next to Liam cooper. Of course he knows that.
