Ben White?

[Billyni]

Ben White needs to do what is best for himself. And recognise that it’s not staying at Brighton, where the team will be struggling or going to Liverpool where he will be watching from the side.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

All true (depending on whether they do actually sell the guy (whether he puts in a transfer request or not)), but I think if he goes anywhere but Leeds, he will end up not warming the bench, not even in the subs, given the size of most PL squads and their existing pool of talent. If he wants bigger bucks than Leeds can offer as a wage, that's his call I guess, just seems a waste when he did so well, and got on so well with his team mates at Leeds.

i think if he gets a first team opportunity he will take it with aplomb. Sure he would add a lot to the Liverpool back 4 and sure Klopp is good at selling a vision but at Liverpool if you are good enough you get to play.

lets hope he wants to play for Leeds .... but 35 mill is a lot of dinero

Becoming a distraction now. Hope they move on full blast and focus on his replacement.

talk of an expected 3rd bid

Regardless of transfer fee not sure what he'll want salary wise- £50,000 per week for 4 year contract ?

Pay him what he wants, hes worth it.

very important we get white, hes already been bielsafied, new players will need to go into bielsafication before theyre ready and that takes time, hope we secure whites services for this season and many more going forward

[UbiqueLUFC33]

We should do whatever we can (within reason) to secure him on a long term deal. He is proven within our system and style of play and I have no doubt he will perform just as well as the higher level of the Premiership. He could be one of the main foundations of our team for the next 5 years and, if utilised properly, could become for us what Van Dijk is to Liverpool.

[WTF11]

I suspect we will be without White this season

[Ozwhites]

Has anyone seen or heard that Brighton are saying his value is now 40 million? If so, is there a process to appeal to the Football League on this figure? And yes, I do know we probably won't get a fair hearing! But if a player wasn't good enough to keep and play in the PL...when that club was struggling in the relegation zone for most of the season...then how can they claim that as a fair value? Forget what Bielsa has done with him with us, he wasn't good enough for Brighton to keep and play!
