Wouldn’t mind him tbf. Homegrown and used to the league, Leeds were desperate to sign him permanently and were gutted he signed a new Brighton deal.

Would cost 40m though, so 70m for him and Lamptey probably. Big risk.

Well I said when he got included in the Eng squad it'd add 10m to his price tag ffs, plus they rejected 40m from Leeds last summer.

More logic to this transfer than many - a young EPL experienced, home-grown, CB - those players are pretty rare and will attract >40m for many years to come (just look at slabhead) provided they remain decent squad players ... Ben White may not be a world beater but he's a good squad investment.

Brighton want 50 mil for him. Meanwhile we have Saliba and Mavrapanos who have more experience and are probably far more talented. But Arteta don’t like ‘em so off we go doing silly things.

Since when do we spend £40m+ on squad players?

So, we have both William Saliba and Dinos Mavropanos now primed and ready to partner Gabriel Magalhaes' and complete the centre back roster along with Mari and Holding. Yet here we are with a proposal to buy Ben White which essentially means we are going to jettison those two youngsters who are equally as talented as him if not more? Yep, the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Well, I might as well get into the swing of things and declare that Chamahk was a better striker than Henry and Xhaka way better than Veira.

If we have any ambition at all of ever getting back to top four that's the going rate - just look at our rivals's benches if you don't get that. A top EPL squad is worth nearly a billion euros that's an average 40m per player - ours is worth 550m it's why we're eighth best.

If Ben White was Top 4 worthy, a Top 4 team would be all over him. Liverpool went with Konate and they're desperate for CBs.

Whereas for us, it's not a priority position at all, because defense has been one of Arteta's biggest improvements.
