Ben was absolutely brilliant for us that season and was a massive reason we got promoted. He’ll always be remembered as a key man in such a memorable season and now he’s showing his class at Arsenal.
It was probably to give him time to learn the Bielsa system and style of play tbh. He made all new signings play a couple of U23 games first, even Raphinha. Bielsa's style of play is very unique. Plus, the player has to cut weight and get up to his insane fitness levels. But then I don't know if Ben White is talking about pre-season or not. Also, Bielsa would have wanted to take a look at him and assess him, as he wasn't exactly an established player at the time. He'd only played League 1. Bielsa sold Pontus Janssen for disciplinary reasons, and White was a cheap replacement (on loan).
Bielsa loved Ben White he was desperate to buy him for the Prem that’s why he bud 26 million for him. As a Leeds fan Ben was brilliant for us one of the best centre backs we’ve ever had and player of the year along with Pablo Hernandez
Will always have a soft spot for Ben he was amazing for us & he and Kelvin had a special relationship. What could have been if we were able to get him back. Great to see him playing for another top team in Arsenal. All the best Ben 🙌 MOT ALAW
Loved Ben White when he played for us. I was sure he would be a regular cb for England within a year. Sad to see him ending up at RB. Think he has such potensial for a CB spot. Reminded me so much about Woodgate.
He'll be back there soon once Arteta dumps him for Calafiori/Timber like he did for Ramsdale/Raya. Shame as I actually think he is not bad (dodgy fake tan aside) but that's how it's gonna go.
He was great with us, and it would have been good if he stayed. But now he is wearing an Arsenal shirt and playing first team football thanks to Bielsa and Leeds United.
Kind of wonder if this played a role in him not signing for us. Always felt like a deal could have been made if White were truly keen and pushing for it...we ended up with Koch and Llorente instead who were average at best
Work hard like pulling the green chain 10 hours a day six days a week setting chokers in the big bad redwoods may be pickin in the Imperial valley 120 degree heat ya ok what do you get when you work your fingers to the bone bony fingers
Ben White was an absolute player he was amazing for Leeds wish the owners would have put the money down for him And i definitely agree Marcelo bielsa made Ben White into the player he is today 👊👊👊👍👍
It didn't really matter what we offered Brighton made it quite clear they weren't willing to sell to us. the only way we would have got him was if he had turned down the new contract Brighton offered him. Once he signed that he was never coming.
@@philipanderson4680 They always said he was not for sale to a rival club no matter what we offered. We could have offered the same as Arsenal paid and they would still have said no.
Leeds fans are patriotic so White was never going to be a good fit. He has now been demoted from the Arsenal first team and his career seems on a downward path

Marcelo is just legendary. He will motivate you to work hard and become the best player you could possibly be
Bielsa put Ben White with the 23s to keep him humble. He did the same thing to himself by living in a flat above a shop and driving a Volkswagen Polo.

Bielsa is a absolute legend
Ben White was a Rolls Royce defender when he was at Leeds, and Marcelo took his game to the next level. Viva Marcelo Bielsa. MOT.
Absolutely love the guy, will never forget his performances for us❤️
I was lucky enough to meet bielsa posed for photos and had time for everyone. Great man
Marcelo Bielsa. If you have had him coach a team you support, no other manager will ever be good enough
100% agree

Remember where you were without him
As keane says baby MOT

The second I saw him I was like 'Bro, this guy is an alien'.. Calmest player I've ever seen at Leeds.
El loco made you ben you know it😁🤍💛💙🦚hope your well Ben and the legendry goalie ben👌
The manager who made the players work hard gets sacked and then relegation follows. Funny that.
This man seems incapable of stringing a sentence together! Three words at best! He meant you were dimwitted!
Exactly 💯
Nothing wrong in that, it happens
Doesn’t sound very grateful, Bielsa done absolute wonders for his career
He was great with us, and it would have been good if he stayed. But now he is wearing an Arsenal shirt and playing first team football thanks to Bielsa and Leeds United.
bielsa made ben white a prem pl;ayer from league one rotation player
El Loco a legend quality. ALAW.
Marceloooooooooo Bielsaaaaaaaaaaaa
That new publication “The Leeds Evening Post”
4hrs day? Aw poor lad
Ben was a legend at Leeds
Fabulous player
Wasted at right back
Leeds should have paid anything for him
England regular 🤔
Would have him back in a heart beat
Love Bielsa
The break actually hindered us as we were unbeaten until then.
Kind of wonder if this played a role in him not signing for us. Always felt like a deal could have been made if White were truly keen and pushing for it...we ended up with Koch and Llorente instead who were average at best
Some people can take it and are all the better for it, others cannot and whine to the press after (talking about retired Suarez and mediocre Canobio).
We won 6 in a row Ben before covid hit Ben you numpty 😂
Then the 1st game back after Covid we lost away at Cardiff halting the massive momentum we had built up pre Covid
@@adam160908
And then won our last 5
Ben probably just forgot; who is going to remember playing for Leeds in the lower leagues.. not exactly exciting times.
@ exciting enough to mention it 😂
All the Leeds fans lauding up Bielsa but they wanted him out and did so.
It was mixed. But fans are very fickle (and very stupid).
The fans at the ground always supported Bielsa.

@@stephenhodgson3506 They wanted 40 million for Ben White it was just that the owners couldn't afford that price

@@stephenhodgson3506 That's a load of 💩💩💩💩 every player has got a price it's just that the Leeds owners at the time couldn't afford it
@@philipanderson4680 so you're saying the Brighton's owners are lying then?
Leeds fans are patriotic so White was never going to be a good fit. He has now been demoted from the Arsenal first team and his career seems on a downward path
Arrogant Player. Proved that when he turned down playing for England.
Why does that make him arrogant? Just wondering
@@Youknowchippychipsno one’s bigger than their country
@@jonathonjakobo he doesn't have to play for England if he doesn't want to
England are terrible
Class player like Woodgate
Star for Leeds every week
First from Kuching Sarawak
Average player
