Either way, White will be in the PL, no wonder he’s partying.
With signing for the Albion, another euphoric day for the lad.
I don’t really understand that ‘don’t seem to a relegation rival thing’ If Leeds spend don’t spend money on Ben White, they are going to buy another player. It’s not like they will either spend £60m or £90m for the summer.
That being said, I hope he stays at Brighton. I do fear, however, that he would prefer Leeds. He is guaranteed a spot there, but not here.
He might get a spot on the pitch but be shite and dropped and his career ruined, or he could come back here be introduced slowly into the team, where he's not under pressure as we have cover should his form dip and flourish under a controlled manner. You know, in a planned development similar to the pathway he has been following.
Managing expectations is key. If as he appears to be, a reasonably clever individual he will understand what is best for him.

Put him in the curry
He deserves to celebrate with his current teammates, we hold all the aces and if Bloom wants him to stay with us , then he does , simple as that .

I think it’s inevitable either Dunk or White is going to leave us in the summer window. White will be wanting first team football and it’s whether he’s going to get it here with Dunk in the side.

Ben White played CDM for Leeds v Barnsley the other night (not for the first time) and the commentators were crowing about his performance.
Expect him to play there.
So we can't play with three CB's then or even put him in midfield.

Could see him playing the Stephens role in front of a back four, giving us the option to seamlessly switch to a back five on the fly. If him, Dunk and Webster could forge an understanding our central defensive unit could be excellent next year.
Alternatively we flog him and spend the proceeds on a worldly CM playmaker or prolific striker.
Bloody nice position to be in.
Bielsa has said he sees him as future DM really and he bas substituted for Phillips every time he has been injured or suspended.

Because he’s been an outstanding performer for them and the foundation for their defence. Taking him away is a massive blow for them.
Of course they can buy some one else, that’s obvious. But there’s an element of risk buying Unknown’s and pinning survival hopes on them (Villa).
So yes, denying them Ben White is without question a blow to a relegation rival.
Why is it inevitable Dunk will leave?
And Ben White will get first team football. This is precisely the plan we’ve had for him. Why do you think we’ve spent all this time developing him, and, importantly, refused to give Leeds a loan to purchase agreement?
I guess there’s a chance, but “inevitable”? Hell no.
The BBC single out just one Bielsa signing in their ‘10 reasons Leeds got promoted’ article.

Thanks for the insight.
Even if it were true (it isn't) and he is desperate to sign for leeds (he isn't) I doubt we're selling.
Ball playing CB with potential to slip into CM. That's an ideal for Potter.
They may end up buying a CB from us, but it ain't gonna be him.

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion at all. potter has shown he's willing to switch the formations up, so he won't have trouble fitting them in. if we ever want to establish ourselves as midtable/low top half, we need a squad that has true strength in depth, not lots of players who's sole job is cover. people have to be able to come in and do a job and I'd say centre back is one area where we've come the closest to this. everyone, or most players, have to be in healthy competition. of course white will want first team football, but surely he'll back himself and his ability to get in the side here

It's laughable really.

A good deal for all concerned giving us decent funds for a striker and to boost Dunk's contract.
