thought something similar, Its unresolved, until he signs new contract or unless he leaves, yeah I know, we have 2 years left + option, but its awkward all round and nobody really knows whats going on.

Despite all the protestations that White wants to leave, it very well might be simply, that White doesn't want the vitriol of signing to soon or being shown to be all smiles on the south coast (which I'm sure he would be).

He's just had his best season, he's loved up there, and their fans are doing all they can to try and get force the move. Sign bumper new contract right now with Brighton, or lots of happy training photos, we know how theyre going to react, "money grabbing scumbag", "judas ****" etc.

Keep him out of the public eye, let them move on with their next choice CB options to the point they accept its over for White, then announce new deal and include White a touch more in the club photos...... Its a helluva lot of pressure on a 22 year old. Their fans will turn toxic and abusive very quickly if he's not protected.

This makes complete sense, agree. And is likely the conclusion of a man like GP and his emotional intelligence.

So basically its Brighton being ......... Brighton

99% of Leeds fans will shrug their shoulders and accept it if Ben White signs a new contract. That’s football. Most aren’t on Twitter and most aren’t that fussed. They’ll quickly move on.

He, like all players has an agent pushing for more ££ so this will go on a for a bit. It normally does. He pays him to do this.

The Albion will publish pix of him in his kit today - when he starts training outside - of course they will.

And Albion will turn down bids - which will be rare. Most actual interest in players is limited - all whipped up by the transfer media frenzy.

And hard as it may seem (given the frenzy) the most likely scenario is White (with a new contract) , Dunk and Webster are the back three on Sept 12. And for rest of season.

I have no idea why the players don't have some fun with this.


I'd 'ride' in on a miniature horse.
Or
Bungee into shot (out of shot - into shot - out of shot)
Or
Space hopper.


Anything's better than 'yes' 'come on' or 'pat the badge'.

You are SAM BALDOCK, and I claim my five pounds.

I don't think there is any way of not looking a bit of a dweeb with these shots. Especially the ones that are used for goal vids. Those are nearly always 'tinpot'. I guess you could go massively overboard, so clearly ironic/sarcastic about the whole thing that you'd get away with it, but fans of some clubs would still be absolute idiots about it.

I think a full back from Scotchland once did the whole pulling his shorts up really high and acting like a loon, on the assumption he never scores.

Only to then score really late in the season.

I loves a slow burning joke.

Trossard carrying some timber

Is that the same Trossard who many on NSC spent all of last season insisting he was too lightweight for the Premier League?

He's not fat, he's just cultivating mass.
