Agreed. Call me old-fashioned, but I think a defender's main job is to keep the ball out of his team's net and impressive passing stats and the rest very much come second to that. That's why I can't understand how Guardiola and Southgate can keep on picking John Stones. I think it was Jack...

Tsoungui looked very good in the FAYC game at Derby, especially that last-ditch tackle to preserve the win..

Well, that's a very good question and the answer depends on which external viewers we're talking about. Football writers at the London papers will, on the whole, only have noticed Webster when he plays against top six clubs, so they will think he's doing well based on goals against Arsenal...

I suspect White's success at Leeds, and perhaps Burn's with us, have taken the recruitment department by surprise. We now stand to have Webster, Dunk, Burn, Clarke and White all competing for a maximum of three places, and that's assuming that Balogun and - sadly - Duffy move on. Don't get me...

My mother was from Leeds so I can't agree with you. But if White helps them get promoted then returns to us, they've already got a huge problem in trying to replace him. So you should be happy about that. On a related subject, football dislikes are very different, aren't they? So many people...

I note that this story has been fabricated, sorry, written, by Alan Nixon, the self-styled 'boss of goss'. His dart-throwing hit rate is about 1 percent. I also love the idea that White's success at Leeds is 'a massive headache'. Yes, having so much talent on our books is a real worry.

They were able to sell Maguire and improve because they had Soyuncu ready to go and three years younger. But their results dipped after they sold Mahrez and Kante. Now if we could sell Dan Burn and replace him with White ...

I'm sure West Brom fans were saying the same thing last season about Harvey Barnes of Leicester. And if Bielsa's coaching improves Ben White and we reap the benefit, then great. Of course, if Leeds are promoted and White wants to stay there, then there will be a discussion to be had. And...

I think the promotion parade showed the potential for Brighton as a football city. Filling the Amex with 30,000 actual bodies rather than a pretendance based on tickets sold would do the same. But let's be realistic. We are not a bigger club than Leeds United, who have a far bigger fanbase, a...

It's a long description by Adam Crafton of going to watch White play for Leeds at Luton with BW's mum and dad. Barely mentioned Albion and shied away completely from any consideration of what might happen in January or at the end of the season. Least boring bits: Shortly before the end of...
