[Albion] Ben White

[Giraffe]

I may have missed a thread or 20 on this, but is he staying at Leeds? Pretty sure a loan contract is to a set date (which presumably would have been end of May or June?) not a season end and therefore we could have him back unless we agreed to extend that?

 

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

Might as well extend it to the end of the season, as he can't play for us anyway. To refuse would just p off him and Leeds unnecessarily.

I thought it had been extended but I don't think it's the case that he couldn't play for us. A player can't turn out for three clubs but can play for two in a season

I did see somewhere that it had been extended to the end of the season
We shall (hopefully) see him in the stripes next season

A rule has been added to prevent returned loanees playing for the parent club this season. White cannot play for us.

Has that rule been passed, or was it just speculation or an idea ?

 

[WilburySeagull]

I cant recall where I saw the reference to this.Ot may have been bbc sport site. In any case I think it makes sense to use season rather than date as determining factor.

 

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

In any case he's not in our 25 (24) man squad is he?

 

[Bob!]

His loan has been extended to the end of this season

 

[crabface]

Not sure i have seen any threads on Ben White. Can someone fill me in on who he is and how his loan at Leeds is going? Do their fans like him?

 

[Stat Brother]

His loan has been extended to the end of this season

Hopefully we have a buy back clause.

 

[dazzer6666]

Hopefully we have a buy back clause.

Why would he come to a smaller club like us ?

He was shit at Brighton. Thankfully he went to Leeds where he has learnt how to play football and is excellent. In fact he might as well be one of their own now. So they're keeping him for free, apparently.

You have to register your Premier League squad at the end of the transfer window and it can't be changed.

Yesterday it was reported they are looking at whether clubs can update their 25 man squads to account for players back from injury etc. Not sure there's been a confirmed decision on this.

Would affect whether we can bring Andone back in or not, as we don't presently have a full 25-man squad, is my understanding.

Or Leeds might sell him to a big 6 club.

You’re wrong.


Dirty Leeds fans have assured me that if he loses the plot and doesn’t stay at the permanent European Champions , he will go to the present European Champions or the European Champions elect.

And, apparently we HAVE to sell him, it’s the law.

 

[Giraffe]

I'd like to see a reference confirming this. Lots of talk that loans would be extended for the season but also lots of talk that contracts last to 30th June. I've searched and failed to see anything that covers a returning player like this.

Mea culpa !
Thanks for putting me right

Talks being held this week with Brighton & Leeds to extend the loan until the end of July.
