Ornstein ain’t god and I use my own logic. Also clubs have bought players and put them in new position after realising they are better there. I’m telling you if we buy Ben White and play him as CB. We will change is position when he keep getting dominated in the air. He has played rb and is a good ball player. We are not even that great in the air and Holding is our best headerer. So what do you think will happen when you replace Holding with a 6ft CB?
So your LOGIC, believes we will spend £40-50M on Ben White and eventually play him right back. That is quite simply poor logic.
"Rob Holding is our best headerer"
Rob Holding won less aerial duels than Adama Traore last season. Even Digne won 20 more aerial duels. Ben White isn't in Brighton's team to win aerial duels, hence why he has Dunk, Burn and Webster next to him, who are fantastic in the air.
Soucek actually lost the second most aerial battles in the league last season. Its simply because he goes up for a lot of balls in the air. The more you go for the more you'll lose and win. Also depends on the teams playing style as well.
If/when we replace Holding with White we'll be better on the ball, have a player who is far better at reading the game and have a player who is also quicker than Holding. Like I've said previously its about a CB partnership and White next to Gabriel or Saliba has a nice balance to it.
