Am I the only one who got Mustafi-vibes watching White yesterday? :shock: his height, the way he moves, passes and slides in just seemed very familiar…. :rubchin: :lol:

To be honest, we’ve signing so many disappointing or error prone central defenders in the last decade that it’s difficult to ever imagine a quality centre back playing for Arsenal again! - lets hope Ben White breaks the mould! :lol:

Let’s hope you justify your £50m fee.

Apparently Ben White was released from the WC squad for lacking knowledge of his opposition and a bust up with The No 2.

He's definitely an oddball character and imo not worth anywhere near the £50m we paid.

yeah saw something about him not getting on with rest of the squad...and arguing with the coach

another odd fact if true.....saying he never watched football as a kid and still the same today

does not look the "manly type"....shall we say

I heard that, sadly, his partner suffered a miscarriage. If true, shame on the media for trying to get clicks and comments by perpetuating such BS.

The media are scum and couldn't lie straight in bed but it amazes me how many people believe the shite they write and then jump to wrong conclusions based on it.

I actually like him as a player.

BTW it's not his fault that his price tag was high, that's the two clubs involved who dictated that.

ALLEGED bust up with Steve Holland according to the Star newspaper if it was true then the journalist wouldn't have used alleged ,a nonsense story IMO

Gareth Southgate on reports White left the England camp following a ‘bust-up’: “What I’ve been shown was alleged. I think by commenting on the story, I could be giving it any form of credibility. We explained why Ben left the camp & I think it’s important that that is respected.”
