Brighton would be mad to sell.  Get him in the first team, gain premier league experience, watch him get an England cap and sell next year to Utd for £100m.

Exactly why a £50m investment now might be worth the gamble. If his ceiling is high and he performs well, his value could skyrocket further, especially if he ends up replacing Maguire at international level. For a club like ours that could mean selling him and getting a nice chunk of profit, or it could mean CL qualification and an FA Cup.

We don't have 50m to risk it though, clubs like Man City and United can take the gamble, we can't. We have 15-20m to take risks, it's a lower class of player.

I’ve hardly seen him play, but if he was worth £30 mill why wasn’t he first choice at Brighton last season when they had Shane Duffy playing regularly? 

Because he was on loan to Leeds?

The only reason I’d be happy with it is to piss Leeds fans off cos they are w***king over him.  
 

The lad who mentioned if he had a successful loan spell at WBA last season would he cost as much? No he wouldn’t. Fact.
 

I saw a few of there games and didn’t notice him much, but hope he does well....at BHAFC

You could well have a point but your understanding of the the word fact differs somewhat to mine.

Because of stuff like this probably:

 

Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Leicester have all asked Brighton about the potential price of 22-year-old English centre-back Ben White, who impressed on loan at Leeds last season. (Sun)

As mentioned in the OP, the Mercury article credited all of last season's top 6 with an interest in the guy, which includes us.

Too young for Arsenal.  Must be 32+ now on huge contracts.

I hate to be the one to tell you this but Leicester City Football Club didn't invent buy low, sell high.

No club in the Prem is spending 50M on White in the current climate especially on a player who's not kicked a ball in the Prem.

Which is exactly why Brighton have priced him that high, they want to keep him, but will accept silly money.

[bald reynard]

I see Leeds offered £25m for White, which was near the 'ball park' figure than Brighton were looking for, but Brighton are refusing to sell to any club which they see as a (bottom half ?) 'rival' next season - and they consider Leeds in that category.  It sounds to me, that if a 'top half' club (particularly one playing in Europe !) offered something around £30m,they'd get him.

Shane Duffy to Celtic? Which means Ben White will get plenty of first team action at Brighton. I can see him staying there for another season and if he does well he may well leave for 40m or so.

Duffy would be a great signing for Celtic to be honest.
