According to Phil Hay, Bielsa wants only one new CB:
"From what I hear, Bielsa only wants one centre-back (White, ideally) despite Berardi’s injury. Berardi has had surgery on his ACL and will be out for six to nine months. Leeds are likely to hand him a contract anyway, which would be the decent thing to do, but there doesn’t seem to be a plan to sign cover from him specifically. This goes back to a point of conversation which crops up all the time. Bielsa likes a small squad."

I think we're basically replacing him by promoting Struijk.

It’s virtually impossible to read every last post on this Brighton forum regarding Ben White, (there are almost 2,400 posts and counting), but interesting stuff.....
Anyway, I understand Liverpool want him as potential centre back (possibly, back up) after the Lovren's departure. Whatever, one thing is for sure: BW doesn't want to stay in Brighton.

Brighton fans are absolutely deluded in general. I check out that forum quite a bit because there are 8 young Irish lads at Brighton.
They are very salty that Leeds are only just back in the league and already a bigger club in every single way.
I do like the team though and how the club is run. Very good operation in Brighton and wouldn't be a bad place to play either. Seaside on 50k a year. not bad is it

Anyone else feel like the whole EPL is after the same players at the moment, and more than usual?
Clubs from top to bottom seem to all be after Edouard, Benrahma, Watkins, Eze, Ben White, Robinson (Wigan - not sure why we're not interested there) and a handful of others. Feels like a really competitive summer, so glad we're at least also looking overseas (Gonzalez etc).
