Leeds have agreed a four year deal for Harry Wilson.

We will probably sign Gnonto then.

We've been down this road before giving long contracts to players of a certain age. Would like to think we have learnt from that and can look to build a strong squad around players who can come into the team for the next three to five years.

That's probably why we've stepped away, he would want big wages and a 4 year deal. Not sure he'd be on my list, Bowen will be the same but I'd take him on a 3 year deal, his output is better.

Great move not getting Wilson. Was at Liverpool from early age, he wouldn't be any more use to us than Benitez was. Don't need players of his history.

There's being loyal and there's posting nonsense.

I'm with Bobby here. Money talks more than loyalty these days.

What a great idea, no big contracts for 30-somethings, and I believed it for almost a minute, till I heard we are trying to recruit White from Arsenal, 29, more of a c/back than full back, and we will pay 30 mill, plus a big contract for a player who cannot get a first team slot at his club, in short a typical Everton deal.

Some of these posts on here are mad.
Whilst I am not particularly fussed if we get White or not. The main concern should be - does he improve us - 100%. Is he proven in the PL - yes. Can he play CB and RB, which are two hugely problematic positions for us - yes.
He isn't even 29 yet. He has played 136 games for Arsenal at RB, who have finished in the top 2 of the PL for the last 3 or 4 seasons, with 47 games at CB. Hardly an alien position to him.
He also managed 6 goals and 13 assists in those games at RB, which are much better than what any of our full backs have put up for many years.
30m is nothing for a player of his calibre and experience, and we would have him for the next 3 to 4 seasons.
You make out he can't get a first team slot at an average team. They are the PL champions and the RB in front of him is easily in the top 3 in World Football.

But much cheaper specialists right backs, and much younger. Saw him play right back end of last season, taken to the cleaner, saved only by his team mates.

The Ben White rumour is a complete non starter. He's got a knee ligament injury. My mate is an Arsenal fan, and he said White is going to be out 'long-term'.
