Indeed. Last time we sell a player to them for £50m! They have to pay a lot more next time!

Good point, I think we all would. White’s midfield exploits can be replicated by Mwepu & co whilst Webster and Veltman can cover him in the back three. We don’t have another Lamptey by a long long stretch and whilst we now have Biss cover, he was a clear POTS for me last season who allows a...

When the club makes a loss of £60m+, I’m more than happy for them to cash in (big time) for a player that I’ve seen play (in person) less than a dozen times and have not built a strong emotional attachment to. This is not a Dunk, Bissouma or Groß but those three players are more ‘Brighton’ than...

Indeed. An incredible deal is what Leicester got from Man Utd for Old Slabhead. This transfer made Liverpool’s acquisition of VVD look like a bargain.

England’s Ben White A collection of views about Ben during his loans. https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1416704454141911043?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1416704454141911043%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.skysports.com%2Ftransfer-centre The...

Or the fans who just vote for Dunk every season because he is one of our own despite there being more deserving players.

I think Potter sees Karbo as more of a RWB than a LWB looking at where he has been deployed for the 1st team and U23s so far but I’m not sure the Pole will be ready for England 1st team football for a season or two. I think White will be replaced by two players in the squad. My money is on...

Some agent are referred to as ‘super-agents’. I believe this chap is often referred to as a ‘super-c***’. Does what is best for him prior to what is best for the player and appears a bit simple when interviewed on Sky.

I noticed that our 3 ‘most valuable players’ are all favourites to go to Arsenal on Sky Bet: Bissouma - 6/5 White - 1/8 Lamptey - 11/4 I’d still be surprised if any of the three end up there.

If we can keep Bissouma and finish our big chances (with perhaps a new forward player or two), we’ll surely blow away our previous best ever finishing position by a few places. White is a fantastic ball carrier out of the back 3, replacing him like for like with Østigård might not be wise. I’d...

England’s Ben White I never thought I read a story about Brighton turning down £46m for a player. Unbelievable. But no better person than Tony to be at the table facing off Arsenal, Everton & Citeh, poker faced, chasing out the biggest bid.

Au contraire! As Man City join the race for our brilliant centre back, your man Jordan compares White to a Rolls Royce as he laughs off interest from Arsenal...

The important ‘middle bit’ translates extraordinarily well for England with Ben at RCB and Saka taking the Lamptey role. Maguire plays Dunk, Stones plays Webster, Philips plays Bissouma, Mount plays Lallana and Trippier plays March. I don’t think England need to emulate our front 3 however.

What a load of shite. This made me laugh though, presented like it’s some sort of stunning exclusive. “As revealed by Football Insider last week, Leeds are not expected to join the race for their former loan star.” Leeds couldn’t afford half of Ben White and if they could, we wouldn’t sell...

This. Although £50m gets you an English defender not quite good enough for the England squad (I’m looking at you Wan Bissaka). You’d need to add on quite a few million for a young England tournament player. Spot on RE: Biss. Looking at his highlights video for this season, I’ve never see a...

Yes, I think having an expert defender alongside a flair defender (in a back 2) is the way to go. Dunk or Mee are ideal foils for the likes of Stones or White. One of Dunks’ big advantages over other centre backs is his superb long passing, however, Coady can hit a long ball too. I’d have him...

Good find. I remember telling my Leeds colleague at work how good Ben was and they were lucky to have him. I told him to watch the Newport cup game where Ben mostly had Kane in his pocket. Unfortunately, like other Leeds fans, 12 months later he was part of the ‘made in Leeds’ dogma!

England’s Ben White Coady is one of the best in the Premier League at that. Maguire and Stones are strong at this also. But in terms of transitioning the play from defence to attack with the ball at feet, only Stones is at White’s level in my opinion. It’s sad for Dunk because he is probably...

There speaks a man who knows the current form and ability of English centre backs.

ITV’s Lee Dixon made the case for White. It was between him and JWP. He said that the midfielder did not have a chance of starting, where as Ben White could, especially if Southgate plays a back 3. Both players will be 6th choice centre midfield (after Henderson, Rice, Phillips, Bellingham &...
