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

[lawros left foot]

So, you're not going to support my campaign for song of the year at next year's grammys?

It’s a shame there was no Eurovision Song Contest this year, you were in with a shout there.

The long and the short of it who the F**k knows.

This!!

 

[Nixonator]

Well done you, now why didn't we think of that?

I picked up on this as well. Sounds like someone who hasn't been to an away game in his life, potentially any game.

Yeah, go on then!

 

[Mancgull]

Only going by this one post, but you seem to get upset by transfer speculation?

I've seen a few other Brighton fans getting upset with fellow Brighton fans for having a laugh at Leeds?

Another one I've recently noticed is people slaggibg off anything football which is linked with social media whilst on a football forum?

A lot of stressed out souls on here right now projecting all their issues through patronising advice. More concerning is they all seem to be around the 50 year old mark playing these sad games.

NSC was so much better when it didn't have all these old geezers hunting out thumbs up off each other. #getridofthethumbsupcrap

Thumbs up to this. (Sorry, couldn't resist it). Roll on the new season when we aren't all so bored.

40m in the kitty would be more exciting than keeping White. We could buy a shit-off-the-shovel LB, and younger version of Murray and still have change left over to buy another 5 CBs for the U23s.

The known unknowns about The Albion v1.2 are:-

- We have never ever known how big the kitty is.
&
- Every time it's delved into we have, to a supporter, been truly amazed by how big the kitty is.


For example we know palace would kill for £40m - begging the question 'why do they repeatedly keep mismanaging away £40m?' (but that's for another time)

We know City can find that cash down the back of their sofa.

What is unknown is what difference £40m makes to the Albion.

I imagine I can guess what this particular spanner is alluding to.

It’s widely reported that Ben White was oop Yorkshire way the other night, staying with his gf, for her Dad’s birthday celebrations. Now, her old man, amongst this entire shitfest, seems one of the prize twats. He’s die-hard Leeds, and has done his daughter’s partner no favours at all, by getting noisy on social media. I’m sure he’s excited by suddenly being the centre of attention, but it’s massively shitty, and I imagine White thinks he’s a prick.

No doubt, at the festivities, he’s embarrassed the young lad with a song, or a chant, or cajoled him into agreeing that ‘WALAW?’ White will have played along either out of embarrassment, or being a little tipsy, or because he didn’t want to sleep on the sofa.

Your fat twitter mate, there has been party to all that, is my guess [emoji106]

OK, it becomes clearer.


To keep the girlfriend's dad happy, Ben White has to go along with things whilst asking the Albion in private to act the bad guy and refuse any bids.

Then he can sing a new deal after the window shuts and "it won't be his fault, guv".

Radio Sussex have a special tonight on the transfer window.
Johnny/Warren normally have some decent insight into what is actually happening, thoughts on likely incoming/outgoing or what they think is required and certainly the topic of Ben White will be come up.
Tune in via BBC Sounds (or a radio !) at 8pm.

If Brighton do not wish to sell, White faces being a squad player on what we think is 5K a week for the forseeable. His value falls dramatically. I'm pretty sure he would have a good attitude and push for first team football. His value will both rise and fall based on performance levels and the remaining length of his contract. Unless he becomes a regular at Brighton, and shows he has the quality required at PL level, you'd have to suggest this time next year he'll be worth 8-10million. Success on the pitch and regular game time, could push his value to 40million in that same time frame.

I've got my head a little around what I think a present value is now, trying to look from both sides. A fixed sum plus add on's up to 29million (international recognition, club games). Then throw in a 20% sell on clause. In many ways it is an outrageous sum for a player with his present experience. He is important to Bielsa but it does get to a point where you think . . . there is another player who can do this job . . . and let's not be naive, there always is (if your club is well run) a list of alternatives at hand.

Even accepting what you write here is true, you seriously feel sorry for someone earning 5K a week? What world do you live in?

In the real world, I am sure Ben White currently earns significantly more than £5K per week and there's no actual proof he wants to move to Leeds.

We are heading to pre season soon and your squad is weaker than it was last season and your manager still has not signed a new contract. Even accepting he probably will sign it, it surely doesn't look great that he's taken so long to commit to the club.

As for Ben White, I don't want to sell him but Brighton win either way. We either get a new player compared to last season who could be great for us at no cost. Or we get a significant amount of money (probably from a top six side but conceivably from you) to strengthen our squad without losing anyone who played last season. You, on the other hand, have to either spend a lot of money to sign one of your best players from last season or find a new one (although with Bielsa being so amazing, I am sure he could find a random person on the street and turn them into a Premier League centre back).

 

[WhingForPresident]

As has already been alluded to... If Bielsa is such a magician, why can't he just do exactly what he did to turn Ben White from the donkey we "carted off" to Newport and Peterborough into prime Maldini to one of their youth players?

This has to be the funniest so far

18m rejected, 22m rejected. I reckon £22m with an extra £5m if we stay up should do it.

It’s basically the same offer.

 

[ttgg]

Is he really that good though?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bloom

512th in 2006, his career earnings look to be about 10% of the actual top "world class" players and he's never won a meaningful title.

Granted of course that he no doubt wins all the local Sussex cups most years

Why does a lot of that sound familiar?

Another failure to actually understand where Tony Bloom makes his very sizeable income. Do you people really think he has made more than a Billion playing poker? You lot really are Class A deluded Dimwits.

Who said anything about where Tony Bloom makes his money?

Your poster was talking about him being a "world class poker player" which is the specific point that my reply was about. Do try and keep up!

You’d trust Leeds to honour a future financial commitment? Braver man than me

The price is £40 million minimum - which could go higher in a propper bidding war.


No need to accept £27 million today.

Let's wait and see where we are at 4:30pm on Transfer Deadline Day.

 

[Megazone]

It's horrible to think £40m doesn't even cover Locadia, AJ and Ezquierdo's transfer fees we spent.

Would be even worse if we then sell White for a crappy £22m.

I think Dortmund have handled the Sancho situation brilliantly. I’d say, “you’ve got till this time tomorrow to offer £35m. Otherwise we’re planning him into next season's squad and won’t consider any further offers".

 

[DIFFBROOK]

They bring out Noel Whelan all the time. Even Leeds fans think he knows zilch and talks cr@p............and for those goons thats saying something

 

[MattBackHome]

Yeah, I'l give you Veltman not being a saga.

But surely Vicente and Ali J were sagas. And not just saga's but both were a SAGA for the AGES. Surely? Vicente from the sheer disbelief...he can't be, can he? Impossible! No chance. What he's been spotted in a restaurant? Clandestine photo taken? Then the agonising wait.

Ali J took several YEARS. The initial excitement. The being turned down. It's back on after several years! Is he coming? Flights tracked. He's here but in the midlands(i think....). Saga saga saga that one.

Yes fair point.

I think we're due at least one saga every window from now on. How times have changed

We wont suggest a price to anyone. We dont want to sell him, we will not listen to offers just rebuke them. Of course this policy is always up for flexibility if an outstanding offer came in that we just could not refuse. I think ridiculous as it may be the figure will be north of 40million. Leeds wont pay no where near that and others, Liverpool, Chelsea etc may test Bens and Brighton's resolve with a higher offer but it is an outstanding ammount for an untested Premier league player.
