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

[Mancgull]

Have you conveniently just ignored the fact Sky are now saying White is pushing for the move?

There’s no evidence of this until he puts in a transfer request, which would be made public. If he does this then it makes no difference as we won’t sell him to Leeds anyway. It’s clearly stated by the club that he’s not for sale. We’ve previously rejected moves for Dale Stephens and Lewis Dunk when they have put transfer requests in. I tell you what Pablo, if White is a Leeds player by the end of September I’ll give A donation of £1,000 to Leeds children’s hospital. You can track me down on this site via Bozza and I will make the donation.
So you may think I’m deluded, but I’m certain he won’t be a Leeds player this year.

You don’t push Tony Bloom. Ask Dale Stephens and Gus Poyet how it worked out when they tried

I hope Bloom withdraws any contract offer (if thats is true/it may well not be) and reiterates again, he's not for sale.

This is from Sky Sports

90% of what they report is guesswork.

 

[bluenitsuj]

I did not realise sky sports were involved in his contract negotiations

you're brave

Leeds thinking they can make derisory offers of 2.2 million more for "not for sale" player and getting Agent to lean on white (if true) wont work.

Not for sale nearly always means *not for sale (unless silly money) another 2.2 million is not that.

 

[Whitechapel]

Do many players even do that anymore? It's not really the done thing at any level.

What would you know about how things are done at this level anymore?

Even if Ben has genuinely said he wants away, Tony’s reply will be more along the lines of ‘well, ok.....but if your heads been turned, you’re going to the highest bidder pal - or going to the U23s for 3 years, up to you.......’ and not.....‘brilliant, that extra 3m from Leeds has made me change my mind’

‘I’ll see your £3m and raise you another £20m’.........

 

[brighton_tom]

So many contradictions in this saga.... Nobody has a ****ing clue!

If we're receiving bids like this & rate him as a player then its only fair we offer him a decent contract, but its also sensible for us to leave that til Potter has at least had a few weeks of pre-season with him.

Tony Bloom won’t sell White to Leeds. Full stop. My £1000 is safe.

 

[The Optimist]

Sky are reporting the playing is pushing for the move to Leeds. His head has been turned gents.

Are they? I just checked Sky Sports report on this. All the one I read said was he had turned down a contract offer. Nothing about pushing for a move to Leeds

 

[stss30]

You have to say his agent has been working overtime! Brighton "He's not for sale", Leeds "Ok then, we'll move onto other targets", Ben's agent "****, lets put out a story that you've rejected another contract and Leeds have made a higher bid to try and provoke a bidding war and get as much money as possible"

 

[Seasider78]

Leeds demanded a min of £30m last summer for Kalvin Philips when Villa enquired, a player who has never kicked a ball in the PL. Now they want us to release someone who was their POTS and they claim is a guaranteed future England regular for a cut price £25m.

Clowns

They think and act like they've got him on WACCOE!

You have to say Ben's agent has been working overtime! Brighton - "He's not for sale", Leeds "Ok then, we'll move onto other targets", Ben's agent "****, lets put out a story that you've rejected another contract and Leeds have made a higher bid to try and provoke a bidding war and get as much money as possible"

Bloom can put it to bed in a second. No more contract offers (to his agent), not for sale (to leeds), knuckle down and earn your place and we'll speak again next Spring. goodbye

 

[GloryDays]

Sky love Leeds. This is just another round of click-bait. Imagine what we’d be talking about otherwise. Just perpetuating tosh and they lap it up.

 

[jessiejames]

If Leeds have made a third bid, surely this is their last one as they know they’ll need to move on soon.. or are they at panic stations knowing that other targets are looking more expensive than they thought.
Re the contract offers, I bet this is bollocks as why are we in such a hurry to keep giving him these offers. We have him on a three year contract (two plus an extra years option).
If your bargaining position isn’t determined by A timeframe ( like ours isn’t) then we can take our time.

Looking at the replies on loan he Hay tweet, A lot of Leeds fans finally waking up to the fact they need to make some signings

 

[Justice]

I just want Leeds to blow their budget on the championship loans and see them go down with the lowest tally ever. Give White a relegation buy back clause for £5m and sell him for 30

 

[SimpKingpin]

If the third bid is true it will be rejected.

If they went through the motions it is so they (the board) can move things along with the fans.

OR...Bielsa's contract is contingent on Ben White's signing...or any signings for that matter.

 

[Bozza]

Are they? I just checked Sky Sports report on this. All the one I read said was he had turned down a contract offer. Nothing about pushing for a move to Leeds

White’s current Albion contract is piss poor relative to his current status, although it was clearly decent enough when it was negotiated and signed.

Of course he will be negotiating hard on a renewal - you’d not expect anything less - it it says absolutely nothing about his desire to leave, or otherwise.

 

[jessiejames]

No contract offer has been made yet, so impossible to turn one down. They have only been back 2 days.
