I've made the mistake of engaging with a couple of them and whilst some are decent and willing to have a chat, some are literal idiots. They will absolutely not countenance the fact the loans are a key part of our clubs approach to development. Whenever I (or anyone else) brings it up, you just get "Yeah mate, you keep telling yourself that" or "Whatever, as if you know anything about Ben White". It's the impenetrable belief that they know more about our club's development pathways the Brighton fans do. It'd actually be a bit embarrassing if any of them had a single drop of self-awareness.
I did enjoy that White has already started referring to Leeds as "they" rather than "we". It's almost, almost as if he knew that the loan was all planned and part of his developmental progression... Who knew eh?
It's great.
Apparently the fact that he's gone on a jolly with a few Leeds lads means he's definitely signing for them.
The best one I saw today was "Look, there aren't any Brighton players there, as if he's going back to them!".
Now, I know it might take more than a couple of brain cells, but there are some rather obvious reasons why that might be. None of them being that Ben White doesn't want to play for Brighton. It's truly Olympic levels of straw clutching, conjecture and just plain old "being thick as mince".
Keep it up Leeds fans!
