Really glad to see him signing a new contact.

He has honestly been one of our most underrated players (probably along with Big Gabi) for a while now. White is an incredibly versatile player. And he has become crucial to Arteta's evolving style of play with his ability to bomb down the wing, play inverted, or slip into a right-sided defensive midfield position.

Plus he is a natural at the dark art of defending. And he is a critical element in our attacking set pieces. And of course, he has that ruthlessness and aggression that we need.

£50 million was a bargain for him.

And yet Southgate fails to even get him called up cuz of his fucking staff...

Sounds like Ben actually made himself unavailable for international duty. Whether there was something going on, or he didn't want to fuck around on the bench for Maguire for two weeks.

Edit: just saw the other post, you already know this nvm

yeah, I spend too much time on Twitter XD hence why i said "get him called up cuz of his staff" lol. I know Southgate said it wasn't about Steve Holland but there's enough reporting on it that makes me think otherwise lol.
