It’s up to Brighton regarding Ben White, of course, but he is definitely Premiership quality and there’s no chance of him staying with us if we don’t go up. I could see that one happening to be honest.

As regards Kalvin, I’d be very surprised if he went there. Money talks, and his recent contract extension will push the value up, but I just don’t see him going to Man Utd.

They are our stand out players and it’s no surprise they are attracting attention, expect more enquiries in January.

Of course it's worrying when the money clubs come looking.
However think it's more of an issue when they don't as it means we have no decent players.
We need to go up this year or Kalvin may need to move on for his own career. White we have no control over can only hope he sees the season out. I believe he enjoys it with us and would want to stay put.

Agreed - it'd be weird if a few top teams weren't showing an interest in him given the form he's been in, so I'm not too concerned. The club can't risk selling him in Jan or Bielsa will surely walk.

Seems like Leif Davis is next in line to sign a new long term deal.

Really highly rated ... I believe Everton have been sniffing round him for a few months. Good news let’s hope he trains on.

Rate him, won't be too long before he is a regular starter in my opinion.

Rumours are going about us signing Middlesbrough’s Daniel Ayala. It might make sense with possibility a PL could take White away and then we have Berardi’s poor disciplinary record and Cooper’s injury concerns.

Even though our goals conceded is low, many state we are short of cover. What are views on 29 year-old Ayala?

Quite a few of our goals conceded are from set pieces then probably does mean we should strengthen.
