[Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.

[edna krabappel]

Exactly what a Villa ended up doing.

No championship team is going to make it in the premier without a significant bit of investment.

Well now hang on. I've seen predictions they'll be challenging for a Champions League spot, so that must be right for club of their stature, surely.

Which will be some achievement for a club whose first XI comprises such stellar talent as Patrick Bamford, journeyman clogger Liam Cooper (the best centre half they own), pony-tailed pillar of averageness Luke Ayling and 35yr old Pablo Hernandez.

I know you mean it ironically Edna, but it actually can’t be explained to non-Leeds. You just don’t get it. You can’t get it unless you are in. This is Leeds. The natural order of things cannot be denied.

Or some bollocks like that

Their gung ho attack attack attack style is going to be very interesting to watch when most PL clubs have quicker and more skilful players all over the pitch too. I see a few heavy thumpings bringing them down to earth very early in the season.

You know what I mean.

Well no, Harry, I have no idea what you mean, other than what you post. And what you posted was incorrect.

I stand corrected

Signing Lallana on club record wages doesn’t align with selling our best-ever prospect. White is going nowhere.

Teacher's telling off there lol

Unless the sale of White, is what is funding Lallana’s wages...

Nah....within our structure but with a massive signing on fee. Sorted [emoji106]

Lord knows how many times that has been explained on this thread! Do people really not understand it, or are the just to lazy to read the thread before chucking in their post?

I can see that happening alongside some impressive victories. Possibility of the infamous Bielsa Burnout late in the season though, which the enforced break perhaps saved them from to some extent this year.

Bit of both ?

Don't know really - I was just trying to be as polite as possible without mentioning the word 'f*ckwit'!

Gung ho attack? They've conceded the fewest goals in the Championship. Of course, Ben White had a big part to play in the that..

For me it's £40M where things become complicated. I'd say we rate him, in todays market, at a value of £20M - £30M. But we want to keep him, that was always the intention, so you can take his value and then add a chunk on top because we are not keen to sell. £40M seems to be the number for me, not so much because of the money, but because most clubs will not being getting close to that figure, all things considered. So if we were to recieve a £40M bid, it would be from the likes of Liverpool etc. If that happened, then we have to think about what to do because it's quite likely that he would be interested in that kind of opportunity if it were to materialize.

It's possible we would still try to keep him, and maybe the price would go even higher, but once we are talking £40M, we are almost certainly talking a top 6 club, and once we are talking a top 6 club, keeping him will be difficult because he may decide he wants to go.

But I doubt anyone will be willing at this stage to go that high, so I expect he will be here next season. His suiters will watch closely how he does in his first season in the Prem. If he does well, his value goes higher and a top 6 club may come in for him for next season, paying as much as £60M if he does as well in the Prem as he did in the Championship (which is not garaunteed, but not impossible either).

I could see maybe City buying him if they sell John Stones (possibly to Leeds). If anything, just to have another English player in their squad.

Wan Bissaka went for £45m after one season in the Premier League. If Ben White is as good as people claim (and my Leeds STH mates say he’s the best CH they’ve seen since Rio Ferdinand) then that sets a benchmark.

Maguire went for £80m when he was 26yrs old.

Let’s see what value White has when he has had a good 4 years at the Albion playing Premier League football.

We’re very shrewd negotiators and should we choose to sell £45m, May well be the starting point, but the add-on’s will be significant, and I would suggest could push the final fee closer to £65m - £70m.

Maguire is a reasonable centre half who Leicester managed to leverage to £80m after Maguire looked reasonable against the likes of Sweden, Colombia, Panama and Tunisia.

Ben White may be a better player. Best way to find out is for him to be given a chance by GP next season and we take things from there after he is part of the England team who win the Euro 2020 tournament next summer.

Lallanas wages equate to about £4.5M over the contract. We can cover that with the sale of extra shirts or some U23
