One of the youngest starting CBs in the league and already a good player. Missed? Not really but that says more about Brighton than about him. After his performances against City (in the 0-1 loss) and the win against Leeds last year I really thought he'd turn into a midfielder though. Guess...

Wouldnt they need to mention his parents (Barry! and Carole) as well as Southampton, Newport and a few of his teachers as well?

Indeed. Nothing strange about it. Olof Mellberg who played a lot of games for Villa and had 100+ caps for Sweden said he never watched football and when they asked him about his favorite sportsman he mentioned racing horse Victory Tilly. He still turned into a trainer though and turned...

I like Ben White but it would be a little bit hilarious if they won without him today.

Wouldnt read anything into it. Obviously he needs to be cozy about his new club when they splashed that kind of money. In reality, I think there was quite a lot of convincing to be done. Not because of some massive desire to stay with Brighton but because surely other clubs were also interested.

Happy for him, happy for the club. Dont agree with the whole "could have gone to a better club thing". Arsenal are the sleeping giant that will inevitably return to being a top club some day and White could be the start of that - its a fantastic challenge for him compared to going to one of the...

re: "should have gone to a better club than Arsenal"... Arsenal is going to be a better club than Arsenal if they keep making good signings.

Two years maybe. Great player already and probably just going to get better.

If its the same ****tard agent as last year, then surely yes.

"Can do better than Arsenal"... well. Arsenal is a sleeping giant. You could even say the sleeping giant.

Nah

Maybe. Its pretty sexy to leak / announce the fee when you make your largest ever sale as its a feather in the hat.

Southampton made Ali J/Locadia, or often even more expensive & useless than that, signings in 8 or 9 transfer windows in a row and they are not really producing that many players these days. Wasted everything they earned and now got like 13 PL players and League One bench. Think they are a...

If the rumours about Arsenal bidding for him is true (which could be the case) then I think, at this stage, its hard to say anything about the fees. Its not really about "playing poker" or Arsenal "believing they can buy any Brighton player cheaply"... its just how negotiations work. Arsenal...

Its a myth that Arsenal doesnt spend money though. Its from the Wengerian days. Sure, they dont spend as much as some but in the last five years they've bought players for over £500m. Now when they have finally get rid of a lot of expensive players I could see them spending £150m+ this transfer...

Dont think they've sold him.

I think he would have wanted the move mainly because he would have been a 100% starter for Leeds, which was much less likely to be the case in Brighton. Plenty of us thought he would primarly be the backup for Dunk & Webster. As things turned out he played nearly every game and I think he is...

so.. nothing has happened

Despite the increase of rumours I dont think he is going to move this summer. Next year definitely but I think if he follows up his good first PL season with a very good one, another £25m or so could be added to his value + we'd get to see him for another year. Probably not likely since your...

And Shane Duffy. I dont think it can be ruled out that he might be difficult to sell and could stick around as the 6th CB option behind Dunk, Webster, White, Burn and Veltman. Not optimal for him and not optimal for the club but I wouldnt be shocked if it turns out that way.
