Benjamin White (4)

True.

I want to say it’ll get worse before it gets better, but will it ever get better? :man_shrugging:

As has already been mentioned those CB charts are pretty worthless. Mustafi’s crab cake looks more impressive than anyone listed here :joy::joy::joy:

They’ve got Lamptey, Bissouma and White, who have a combined value of about 140m, who we’ve been linked with, who are better than what we have.

Have we even got three equivalent players worth as much as that?

You’re right, clubs know how desperate we are and just treat us like mugs.
Worse than that, we act like we are.

When clubs like Leicester have already done more business than we’ll do in the whole window, you realise how clueless we are in the transfer market.

And some told me the fanbase will be patient with Saliba…
I won’t forget when they made a comp of Wilo’s first match in preseason and he was getting trolled over the way he runs. :man_facepalming:

Ben White- The Next Tony Adams

I doubt it.
Adams had already been made our captain, won the league title, the League Cup and was an England international, before he was White’s age.

I’ve got no problem with White but comparing him with our greatest captain is laughable and just show the ignorance of whoever @lagaarxi is.

White has never been a great pure defender.

The over emphasis on ball playing ability is silly and will cost us goals

Vestergaard would be a good pick up considering he has a year left on his contract.

Been impressed with his improvement at Southampton.

I wanted him too until recently, he’s been shocking recently, but so has Southampton overall. Maybe they’re the issue, not him.

Get the impression this is almost done. Can’t say I’m excited by the signing, especially at the price he’s gonna cost. Another Mustafi in the making.

Yeah I’m not hot on this signing at all, very underwhelming

Can see it now. Will make a mistake in his first 5 games leading to a loss. Will get flamed and have a stigma attached as the new Mustafi.
Confidence goes. Has a horrible time for a couple of years. Goes back to Brighton for 15m or free.

Yeah, spending stupid money on an unproven player is just one own goal away from a disaster.

This guy needs to have elite mentality to step up and keep his head high when things go south.

We park the bus under Arteta. He’s managed to actually make Rob Holding look somewhat decent. I think Ben White will do just fine here, but spending 40m on the dood is a whole different conversation.

Always worrying when the best thing people say about the guy is how good he is on the ball. That’s not the main part of his job.

Maybe I’m wrong but this definitely feels like Mustafi Mk II.
