Webster prefers to play as the Left CB, and you can tell he enjoys it as he plays better there than at Right CB. I'm not sure if we'll keep Clarke, might be sold as we still have BDB as back up.

Really? It looked more as if he was moved to LCB to accommodate White. Clarke would be an obvious left sided replacement if White leaves and Webster moved back to his natural position.
Or possibly Webster might have to stay at LCB to accommodate Ostigard, who's made it pretty clear he wants progress or offski.
I see from the BBC Gossip column that we're 'interested' in Tavernier. Can't see it myself - two or three years ago, yes, but I think we've moved on. Mind you, he does ping across lovely crosses!

I think you may find that there is a big gulf in ability between Clarke and White, although playing regularly for what was a very poor Derby side who only just avoided relegationm may well have hindered his progress.
As for Tavernier, l've often wondered why an EPL or EFL club haven't taken a punt on him before now. Maybe those lovely crosses that he pings across could make all the difference!

I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm pretty sure we've been linked with Tavernier every single window for the last four years

To be fair, I never said that Clarke was as good as White! Just that if White left and Webster moved back ro RCB, then Clarke would be a possible candidate for the LCB position.
Derby fans seem to be quite pleased with him - obvious question is can he make the step up (and it is a big step) from the EFL to the PL? I don't know, but White, Webster and Dunk all ,amaged it, so who knows? Needless to say, there are those at the club who will have a better idea than we so!
As for Tavernier, he had a pretty uninspiring career around various clubs in England (95 appearances in six years for 9 different clubs) before moving to Rangers, so probably overlooked by many because of that.

A Forest supporting friend of mine claimed to have been more impressed with Clarke than White when he saw each of them a couple of years ago. Having said that, when I checked this it turned out that White had been playing in midfield rather than at CB, in a game that Forest won 2-0, so I wouldn't draw any conclusions from that. Derby definitely seemed impressed with Clarke at the end of that season.

This is a great shout. In addition to Sancho, United signed 18-year old winger Amad Diallo in January 21 on a 5 year contract for £18 million fee plus £18 million in add-ons. This compares with the £15 million paid for James 2 years ago.
A loan deal for James would be good, a loan to buy would be better. I think he would be sensational in a front 3 for the Albion.

And once again the usual chorus echoes out ............................. WHO?
Zambian defensive midfielder expected to leave Red Bull Salzberg destination unknown. Played with Leicester bound countryman Patson Daka last season.
No idea about the source, but not entirely a ridiculous suggestion.

Five year contract? Hope not - we must have learnt our lesson from the financial damage of Locadia's four and a half year and Jahanbakhsh's five year deal not to hand out another five year deal to another hopeful punt! Hopefully the whole thing's just a lot of 'journalist' speculative bollox.
He was rumoured to be Arsenal's 'cheaper alternative to Bissouma' a few months ago. Wonder if he is our replacement... Not that the sauce has any credibility.
