Gave Luiz away and signed a similar player for 50 big ones.
To be honest theyve signed a couple of random shit players and a defender off a bottom 6 club.Gave Luiz away and signed a similar player for 50 big ones.
Lindelof isnt that pathetic.Not surprised. The English Lindelof.
Lindelof is easily better than this kid. He would never lose 57% of his ground duels in a game like White did yesterday.Not surprised. The English Lindelof.
That’s actually his average win rate for aerial duels in his career too. They showed it before the match that he only wins around 50% of his aerial battles.Tweet

Pepe and Ben White cost more than Sancho and Varane. Absolutely amazing.Damn, this guy is 24 in two months. Just getting into his theoretical prime, but he's ways off the pace.
24 is still young, but he'll need another couple of years to truly settle and see how he improves/matures. Not sure about his character either, but today was a bad day for him. Don't have any sympathy for him however because he's a big transfer for any CB to any club. Can't hide, but Pepe has managed to do that exceptionally well.
Its funny because White has been highly rated throughout his career. Leeds were desperate to keep him, probably because he’s pretty good on the ball. If you look at his stats though, his aerial dual percentage for Brighton was horrific for a CB.Damn, this guy is 24 in two months. Just getting into his theoretical prime, but he's ways off the pace.

That explains why Potter played him as a DM or in a 3.Absolutely no chance he is justifying a 50m price tag. He’s worse than Lindelof in the air!
The fact a player chose Villa over Arsenal this summer tells you everything. Maybe they wanted Mings but players can see Villa are currently a better prospect.Was an awful signing for the money, everyone knew that before he even kicked a ball.
Mings would have been better.
Probably the best description of any footballer ever.The Love Island Lindelof
I think that’s career average, not just last season.Is it true he won leas than 50% of duels last season? Of true, that's an abomination for a CB.
That's even worse.I think that’s career average, not just last season.
He was on loan at Leeds from Brighton when they won The Championship and was very good. There was some hype about him then but I don't think he set the world on fire at Brighton last season. He was played in midifeld a lot which probably reflects his quality on the ball and lack of defensive nous. He has a lot of quality on the ball and will break the lines and dribble the whole pitch at times which gets people excited. He is under massive pressure at Arsenal now because of the fee, it could be a tough season for him.I actually have no recollection of him at Brighton. Granted I don't watch any brighton games other than when we play them of if I catch them on MOTD. The first time I heard about him when during the England selection for euro's, had to Google who he was.
I just found it strange that I've never hear much about a £50 million defender, don't recall many of the pundits or the media raving about him last season either. It was always the other fella in defence that got mentioned, Scott Dan.
