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

[Change at Barnham]

Just to keep things in perspective, Birmingham's 17 yr old Jude Bellingham has just signed for Borussia Dortmund for £22.75 million. He has only just signed a full professional contract with the Blues to allow Birmingham to be rewarded for their help in developing him.

If a club in Brighton's position did want to sell Ben White the bidding would start at least at £30m with add-ons for International appearances and Sell-on fees included.
How wonderful it is to have the Three Wise Monkeys of Bloom, Barber and Ashcroft as our brains trust.

I admire the Leeds fans enthusiasm and their belief, and I look forward to seeing how Señor Bielsa measures up with GP.
It's a great time to be a Brighton fan and I'm loving the ride.

He's not quite one of our own, when he was born in Dorset!

Will this be alternating with the Jimmy version?

The answer is to buy or at least make multiple bids to destabilise their best player as well as bring home Ben

One of them said that they'll be able to buy him as PSG owners are investing. Interestingly this has been rumbling on forever and they are looking at others as well. I said any investment would be in the future not now if at all. All the talks were before Covid lock down so who knows. Funnily enough he didn't like that.

I don't know why everyone's getting so wound up by this. I really can't see us selling him, given he is a ball playing centre back and has been one of the best players in the Championship this year, especially given Potter's recent comments about really rating him. But if we do, I would wager it will be for silly money, so we can improve the squad elsewhere, and not to Leeds

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Five at the back next season?

Tariq Lamptey
Adam Webster
Ben White
Lewis Dunk
Burn/New LB?

Thought we looked stronger in the first half playing

352

I could see a place for March at LWB at he had more drive going forward than Bernardo and Burn.

I would see burn being rotated in Central Defence and Bernardo rotated with March, I don’t think we will be strengthening In the left wing back area this summer

Times saying that Middle East money is looking seriously at Leeds. That would be so hard to swallow. Can you imagine the crowing......!

Money doesn't guarantee success, seem to recall QPR were the richest club when they were in the Prem...

We’re not.. you’re repeating what most of us have already said. (See the thread?)

There’s just a few characters here who think we’ll sell him for 20 odd million to a rival, for no particular reason.

Wound up? The vast majority of us are laughing at them.

I've seen worse Albion starting XI's as the squad heads into a transfer window.


Gross
Jocko
Connolly
Propper
Monty
Obvious player I've forgotten
Walton
Bernie.

swap m&m and replace mooy with the player you've forgotten, the £30M pacy, big lump we've never heard of

 

[Eeyore]

But with one years Premier League experience Webster is beginning to look like a bit of bargain.

Begging the obvious question:-

Why sell White now and not in 12 months time.?


Sold for £30m - a tidy profit.
Or
Plays out a season and sold for £60m - a tidy profit.
Or
Fails to gain a regular start and sold for £10m - a tidy profit.



With option 2 adding a considerable overall profit to the team, as it's hard to imagine a back 3 of Webster, Dunk and White playing in a team with more than half an eye on relegation.

Yes, it makes sense to keep hold. I can't see a bid of £30m coming in anyway. It would put him in the top five most expensive English defensive signings of all time- and that without top flight experience. If Leeds United are foolish enough to try then fine. But I'm pretty sure he's starting here in September.
