The lad is class however I TrueType believe we should have sold him for £27m with a sell on clause. That way we probably could have got a net £35m for him.
We have accommodated a player (who is one of our top 5 players) who makes our team weaker. The money would have been better spent...
Contracts mean nothing. The lad had to sign a new contract to take him from £4K to £40k per week. Wouldn’t be entirely surprised if he hands in a transfer request immediately after signing. Now he’s bagged another £2m per year.
Trumps a shoe in .... his meltdown Over Covid has been balanced by the lefts support of BLM .... Thankfully for us balance will be restored against this tide of left wing politically correct shit
Big bid has come in from a foreign club.... white and his agent adamant they won’t sign a contract less than £100k a week (fair call for a £30m player) ... stand off expect a transfer request.
Seriously though can we afford to forsake £25m plus if we’re not going to play him. The choice in my view is play him or sell him, if he’s left in the stiffs everybody loses most of us as our asset depreciates in value.
The issue is somewhat bigger than just Ben White. Personally whilst white looks class, he’s untested & I firmly believe we would be foolish to split the Webster / Dunk partnership. Can we keep a player who’s allegedly worth £30m plus as a reserve. Regardless a player worth in excess of that...
I can’t see this ending well. The lad wants to leave, he’s settled up there - Girlfriend / Friends etc. A Leeds supporting mate of mine tells me bielsa has turned £1m players into £15m players (much like Brian Clough) could it be that the player away from bielsa will not be the same player who...
