Exactly. I was just reacting honestly to the deeply stupid thread title
Answering a hyperbole with an equally silly hyperbole (gormless Benny) is daft.

BW's reputation was forged at Leeds. The Cult Of Potter had the square root of f*ck all to do with enhancing his market value
you know nothing about football

I think it might be a very subtle dig at the Leeds Bielsa cult….

Jul/Aug 2020 - Brighton reject bid of £25m from a team oop north
Jul 2021 - Brighton accept £50m bid, with it seems a significant chunk being paid up front.
Well done our coaching maestro and his team in turning a £25m player into a £50m player in a year.
The extra 25m is a Bielsa follow through, nothing to do with the Albion

There's no need to call him a cult. He's well respected among the knowledgeable Leeds fanbase.
On a serious note, I'm very impressed with the way that BW has handled himself throughout all the speculation. He has hardly said or written anything, and therefore not really put a foot wrong. Well done Ben. You are an astute young man, as well as a classy player.

White is obviously a good player but let’s not overlook the role played by Potter in introducing him as a right sided centre back in a back 3. To play him as a CB in a Back two without a towering partner at CB may show up his physicality issues. Let’s face it he’s no Harry Maguire in terms of stature and heading ability.
Ben is a great player but suits a back three rather than a back two I feel.
So Potter’s tactics last season helped him in his first season in the Premier League. When he goes to Arsenal he’ll have the weight of a £50m transfer fee on his shoulders. Still I’m sure the Arsenal fans will be patient with him.

about a 1970's, throwback, clogger, constantly whining about potterball, or something else?

I hope he is getting a commission.

Would be massively surprised if our resident gormless Benny had any hand in the process whatsoever, other than being practically ordered to play BW by his paymasters
[emoji23]. I do actually think there was prob alt quite a lot of pressure on GP to play Ben as think the plan was always to ride his value up and sell.
Ben White is the deciding factor in Ben Whites success.

lol.
So often I read a post on here thinking it must be the most stupid thing I’ve ever read, then low and behold it gets beaten.

I read a bizarre comment, supposedly from Sky Sports, that Leeds would get 45% of whatever fee we sold BW for.

Its a fair assumption that with 1 more season and a solid season with Are plus becoming a regular in the England side off the next few seasons he will be valued closer to £100M. £50M for us is solid business. Considering where we are in the food chain we have played a blinder

To be fair it’s not like some of us weren’t saying this at the time. It would have been a shocking decision to sell him for that. I remember having this discussion a lot here last summer.
Though many were dropping their draws and rubbing their hands with glee at the first Leeds £25m bid.
Also it’s probably more down to Tony Blooms business acumen. But happy to see some folk catching up and giving recognition to Graham P [emoji6]
