Leeds well and truly priced out of the market, bless they still think they are big club.

Unluckily for Leeds we have a wealthy and savvy owner, and PL income. Their bids are being laughed out of the club.

The widespread media coverage of White’s great season, followed by Leeds’s (club and fanbase) desperation to sign him, have priced them out of the market.

Looks like Leeds have thrown in the towel, instead moving for a right Koch.

The Telegraph are fairly reliable on transfer news.

I don't get why so many Leeds fans are adamant that Ben would rather play for them than anyone, and rather play for anyone than Brighton. And what has Ben said about all this? Absolutely nothing. Not a bean. Hardly the actions of someone agitating for a move.

Feel really sorry for the guy at the moment. His head must be all over the place reading headlines like that. Imagine going from playing in the Championship (bloody well of course), to being Man Utd's new £50 million centre back. That is some serious pressure.

I am however enjoying how the papers are just changing the valuation every few days, in an effort to out-shock the previous report.

"The £20 million-rated centre back"
...
"Brighton's £30m young star"
...
"Who they rate at £50 million"

Couple more weeks and we'll have the first £1bn player on our hands.

I love that they say "they rate". Have we ever put a price tag on him? I'm so lost at this point. Not even sure I've heard anything other than Potter's original statement and David Weir reiterating it.

I'm just enjoying finally having a (relative) youngster worth megabucks - we've not had one before.

Well bugger me. I never thought I'd see an Albion player with a £50m + price tag. :ohmy:

And to think so many on here were desperate for us to sell at the first offer! £20 odd million...

Thankfully those in charge of the club are a few moves ahead of the game.

Keeping White for the season was always the best move for footballing and business reasons.

If this circus continues the kid definitely needs to be protected from being over hyped and having to live up to that pressure.

But I think things will really settle down once the season starts...that is, if 2020 doesn't get anymore bonkers.

EDIT: "most wanted player in England" is a ridiculous headline.

And if his head is all over the place I hope he realises who bought that on him. Yes #DeludedLeeds fans-you all thought it was just a matter of non stop bullsh1t will get the player. We all know that when they finally get it that he won't be with them next season they're going to turn on the lad. And trash Brighton when they visit. Horrible club.

Holy shit, Leeds MD seems to be getting the message. Or perhaps being honest with the supporters.

Worth a quick read of his comments about Ben White.

I know it’s SussexLive which is trash but you just need to read the quotes. I’m sure they will be accurate.

Also, lol...

Oh dear. And if he plays regularly his value will just go up another £10m. Lol
