I believe the entire ethos of the club is to sell players for £xxm when the club is ready to promote the next hairy man child into the first team.
Not spend the profits elsewhere.

Liverpool can't find any more than £1m up front for a CB at the moment when they are absolutely desperate for one.
Arsenal are being bankrolled by the BOE just to get by.
Neither are spending £30 to £40m on a player this summer.
You can count out Spurs and probably Everton too

Bielsa confirmed in press conference today that Leeds' last bid for White was for £30m.

You might as well bid £30m for Nelson’s Column

They are barely solvent.
They've been hit by loss of fans more than anyone.
Only if they sell Kane will they have any money to spend at all

And add in the fortune they're going to have to spend correcting the huge mistake they made in appointing Mourinho. The pay off to him and his staff when they get rid of him soon will be massive!

Apart from Kane who would be suitable in a swap deal for Webster? Asking for a friend.

Doesn't he know that ALL transfer with Brighton are for undisclosed fees, actually quoting the offer has probably increased the price by at least £25m.

Could that be seen as tapping up?
I think Son would suit Potterball more if I'm being honest

I hope Lallana two foots Kane at knee height in his first training session with us!

In the Athletic on August 19 2020 they reported that Leeds had submitted a third bid to Albion "of a guaranteed £25 million, plus additional clauses based on individual and team performance. Leeds are indicating it is the final offer they will make for the 22-year-old central defender, who starred in their Championship title-winning campaign on loan from Brighton."
I suspect, therefore, that Bielsa's comment was referring to this same bid, indicating that the add-ons would potentially have amounted to £5 million.

More than likely correct, this is not so much a re hash of targeting White although I’m sure he would like him.
More of a reminder to the board, if you want to stay up and not do a Sheffield United next year, remember we need to spend and big. He’s posturing and subtlety suggesting the defensive frailties evident are not his fault, he tried to address them with White...
Move along

Sheffield United did spend big last summer.

Yeah, you know exactly what my point was, and anyway they may have spent big, but neigh on 18 million on a 22 year old goalkeeper and 20+ million on a reserve striker was in hindsight stupid really.
