I edited the post before you replied there’s some more there for you.

Dude, like I said you'll see how wrong you are during the season. Holding is a bigger build, he's not as agile and often isn't quick on the ball. He's slow and not very progressive. White is much quicker, more agile and releases the ball quicker. Also the added bonus that he's excellent off both feet.

Again none of this is true. You don’t rate Holding but you don’t actually know his flaws so you’re making this stuff up, you should actually watch football instead of just transfer news.

I fully expect you to be doing the biggest U turn in AM history when White is starting and looking 100x better for us. Clearly don't know ball but that's fine, we can all teach you.

Not the sort of transfer that really gets you hyped at the time.

At this stage of his career he's no better at the basics / art of defending than our current crop of CB's.

You're buying potential and ball playing ability.

I think in 3-4 years time we'll probably look back on this deal as a good bit of business though.

Why do we take so long to announce new signings compared to other clubs? It annoys me a fair bit to be honest. Surely Benny White is an official signing by now?

I honestly don't know, it's pathetic and pisses me off.

Just announce the player you ***** edu.

He's the only other CB in the league that can ping an 80 yarder like VVD.

You mental? He's a clear upgrade on Mari and Holding who are both Garbage.

C'mon now man.. Mari and Holding are championship quality

White is a decent defender at this stage of his career, nothing more.
If you could hypothetically partner both Holding and White with Gabriel (for example) over the course of the 38 games next season which pairing would concede less? It's probably 50/50 . I'd maybe even give the edge to Holding and Gabriel at this stage of Whites career.

Some fancy YouTube highlight reels aren't going to sway me on White.
He's rash at times and struggles with some fairly basics defending occasionally.
I'm not knocking the guy, he's a work in progress. He's got real talent and the bonus of being really good on the ball, he's just got to iron out some flaws in his defending, which I'm sure he will do given time.
