Ben White Official

5-year contract running into 2026.

17/18 - League Two
18/19 - League One
19/20 - Championship
20/21 - PL

21/22 - £50m transfer.


That's one hell of a career arc for a 23 year old. Wish him all the best.

Just seen this.

The prospect of a Ben White - Gabriel partnership sounds promising, I just feel like it would need an experienced coach for them or it would need an experienced third man in there alongside.

Alderweireld may have been a decent option to step across the North London line, although I'm sure you're fed up of London cast offs by now.

When referring to Arsenal the correct term is PAST not PASS. But supporters always live in hope. Usually misguided. Being a Man Utd fan I know all about that!
But a great player once said "Life's a funny old game" There are blokes who would probably be happier to see their Missus walk out the door and leave them than to see their team lose an FA Cup final. Football is not a matter of life and death...it's more important than that. Amusing, but give me her indoors every time.

Wtf

You were probably never going to be able to understand my comment. Wtf is not an intelligent response. There are more keys available. Have a look!

You're taking your divorce very badly, I see

Not divorce. I lost the most wonderful person I have ever known to cancer. Due respect to my great parents but when they pass away in later life it is to be expected. Cheap and childish shot. It could happen to you or yours one day. I hope not. I would never wish that on anybody. It rips your heart out. You never really recover, you just do your best and live on memories.

The OP said "Will wear the number 4. Hope he can pass as well as one former number 4."
You resonded with "When referring to Arsenal the correct term is PAST not PASS"
That would change the original sentance to: "Will wear the number 4. Hope he can PAST as well as one former number 4."
this would clearly make no sense whatsoever.
Then you get upset when someone comments "WTF?"
Strange. The rest of your post was fine though. Hope this helps.

I wrote this thread and then went off to work. This was not what I was expecting to find this morning.
