Someone at work, someone on here, Duncan Castles, it's all rumour.

Not quite true, we didn't want shot of Ashley Barnes, but due to contract length and his desire to go to Burnley, we pretty much had to. I am sure there will have been a few others like that as well.

News stories all seem to think it's just a case of BW getting back and having a medical and then it's done, but I am not that sure that the deal agreed "in principle" isn't dependent on us making a signing to replace him.

WADDAYAMEEN we are unwelcoming? Why don't you sod off? or of. You piece have shit. :D

Only where effective communication of the message is more important than the "floral" quality of the text. If there was an organisation I could label as "Horrible organisation, with horrible aims" it is probably one you voted for.

Not sure, don't really follow his career, as he isn't our player. I don't know how many caps Jesse Lingard has had either, or Fikayo Tomori, not our players. I am glad Ben had a good season in Leeds, in a decent side, made some friends, got a winners medal. But you lot are so ****ing entitled...

I notice that the deal is being reported as agreed "in principal" not "subject to a medical". So what could be the other factors that might yet prevent this deal happening? We are told that personal terms are agreed, so if it isn't that, could it be subject to us being able to sign a decent...

As I said, I think it an unusual thing to be said about Ben White, certainly by anyone that hadn't worked with him, as he doesn't seem to give off any captain "vibes" whilst playing, he doesn't seem obviously vocal or directive of players around him. I suppose you are right, if you were totally...

The little embellishment, "Arteta sees him as a future Captain" has intrigued me, I just can't imagine he would say that, but I can't imagine a reporter making that detail up either. It would only come up I would think in negotiations with the agent, e.g. agent asking how they see BW fitting...

Personally, I think he is a very special player, and I want to see him with us for one more season.

Often paid in installments, but I think what is the difference here is "add ons" so certain milestones have to be reached or the money is not due at all, like x number of appearances for an additional £2M, then xx number of appearances for another £3M. These could be managed by Arsenal so as to...

They are not offering £50M though, that seems to be the sticking point, they are coming up a few £M short. Leeds were 6 or 7 points off 6th, West Ham finished 6th, we beat Leeds home and away and drew with west ham home and away, we can compete at that end of things, and maybe we have another...

Some Arsenal fans getting a bit similar to Leeds fans last year, thinking Brighton are being greedy, too big for their boots, White is good, but not at that price etc. If this move doesn't happen, and I hope it doesn't, I think they will see the same next season, us fending off bids...

Piece here in the Metro that also makes no mention of the Northern Monkeys, but has Ben giving some Albion appreciation. https://metro.co.uk/2021/06/26/ben-white-responds-to-speculation-he-is-set-to-complete-arsenal-transfer-14833888/

You could be right, the one thing that makes me lean towards Biss being harder to replace is the tackles he makes, but Whites show reel from last season, and bearing in mind it is his first season in the PL, is ridiculously good, I also don't recall more than a couple of mistakes across the...

His agent also said, in regard to signing the new contract, in the same interview "The main consideration for us was whether or not he was going to play." I think Ben White was disappointed for 2 minutes, and then realised that Potter had every intention of playing him regularly. The point...

Gets asked a question from a Yorkshire Post reporter later in the interview, inviting him to tongue Bielsa's arse again, which he nicely avoids too. https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=332580338277101&ref=watch_permalink

I believe Leeds wanted him the season he went to Peterborough, Leeds had come up against him in a cup game with Newport and were impressed, so maybe at that time we said he is not ready for the Championship. But I also heard Bielsa wasn't keen on a lad that had just had 1 season in L2 under his...
