Ben White
Jul/Aug 2020 - Brighton reject bid of £25m from a team oop north
Jul 2021 - Brighton accept £50m bid, with it seems a significant chunk being paid up front.

Well done our coaching maestro and his team in turning a £25m player into a £50m player in a year.

More fool the club willing to pay £50m in the present climate l'd say. :facepalm:

Not that we won't bite their hands off of course.

We would never offer £25m+ for a player who has only had 1 year of championship football. His development over the last 2 years has been incredible and my biggest fear is he could've been sold next summer for significantly more. However allowing him to leave sets a precedent on fees we will listen to and opens up an opportunity to repeat the process with players in the future, I wish him all the best and hope is gets plenty of game time

i still don't want him to go .....he's going to be a top class player , Arsenal won't hold on to him.

Would be massively surprised if our resident gormless Benny had any hand in the process whatsoever, other than being practically ordered to play BW by his paymasters :shrug:

Every time I read a comment from you about Potter I feel so grateful that you have absolutely nothing to do with the running of BHA, we’d be out of the Football League in four straight seasons :smile:

As always, thanks for stalking :thumbsup:

BW's reputation was forged at Leeds. The Cult Of Potter had the square root of f*ck all to do with enhancing his market value

Arsenal will eventually sell him to a bigger club.I guess we will have sell on clause maybe 20% .

Arsenal are desperate and are willing to pay obscene prices. White is good, might become very good, but I think he should have waited for a Champions League team that play out from the back and counter attack. Arsenal concede goals and I am not sure if White will stop them conceding as there are lots of problems in terms of how Arsenal defend.

Of course you’re right. The 36 matches he played in the PL last season are a complete irrelevance and his further progress has nothing to do with the coaching environment he was in last season.

So why didn't Arsenal come in last year to buy him when they could have got him cheaper?

Mere inconsequential details l know, but . . . shall we wait for official confirmation first?

I’m surprised at you. White was tipped as an England player by Michael Flynn at Newport County, so Potter might not be the deciding factor, as it has been carefully managed by Brighton, but he did get his PL experience under him.
Brighton, as a club (includes youth coaching, and management) have handled this superbly, including selecting his loan clubs.

zefarelly · Jul 17, 2021

THPP has a point, Out recruitment and coaching as well as youth & U23 coaching staff etc have had more to do with BW's progress since we first picked him up.

Player has been well managed since GP arrived though.

Exactly. I was just reacting honestly to the deeply stupid thread title :shrug:

Of course nothing to do with our gormless manager who turned the God of Yorkshire into a seat punching spoilt brat not once but twice last season

Anyone supporting Fulham, West Brom and Sheffield Utd may well beg to differ.
