The latest on Peter Whittingham


NEIL WARNOCK:

"I’ve offered him a contract, it’s not like his last contract"



"Nothing. We’ve had a good chat Peter & I, we’ve laid the cards out, he has to see what happens, what develops for him, he might have clubs who can offer a more lucrative contract or a chance to play more regularly, he has to weigh up one side or the other before committing himself."

"He knows what I’m thinking. I don’t think he’ll leave it too long to make a decision."

"I’ve offered him a contract, it’s not like his last contract. He has to weigh it up. I know he’s loyal but he has to weigh things up. He might have opp to have another couple of years at another challenge. I would imagine we’ll know what each other’s doing by the time we come back from Malaysia.”


Peter Whittingham's contract finishes next month and after 10 years of playing for Cardiff City it looks like he will be leaving.

Whittingham was given an improved contract in the Premier League and it was believed to be about £20,000- £25,000 a week, It is now believed City have offered half of that.


Whitts at the moment is now looking else where.

Rival clubs target Cardiff City star Peter Whittingham


By Chris Wathan

Friday 05th May 2017

A string of Championship rivals have shown interest in snapping up Peter Whittingham as he edges towards quitting Cardiff City.

But Neil Warnock says he's no problem with the midfielder weighing up his options, despite maintaining he wants the stalwart to stay.

Whittingham will become a free agent this summer as he sees his Cardiff contract run out following Sunday's final game of the Championship season when the Bluebirds travel to Huddersfield.

Talks over a new deal were opened earlier in the season with an offer made to Whittingham, a fan favourite at the club since first arriving in South Wales in January 2007.

It is thought that deal includes a significant pay cut for the set-piece specialist as Warnock looks to trim the wage bill and gear up towards a summer of squad rebuilding ahead of a planned promotion push.

It has put rival clubs on alert and Warnock accepts that there will be other offers made to Whittingham, including ones that may offer more guarantees of regular football with the veteran manager making clear his thoughts.

Supporters speculated Whittingham will move on this summer after his body language suggested a lingering goodbye following his substitution in last week's final home game of the season against Newcastle.

But Warnock maintained he did want the 32-year-old to stay after revealing the pair have held further talks this week.

“We’ve had a good chat Peter & I, we’ve laid the cards out,” Warnock said. “He has to see what happens, what develops for him as well. He might have clubs who can offer a more lucrative contract or a chance to play more regularly.

“He has to weigh up one side or the other before committing himself. He knows what I’m thinking and where I want to go.”

Asked if he wanted Whittingham to stay, Warnock added: “Of course I’ve offered him a contract, it’s not like his last contract, but he has to weigh everything up. I know he’s loyal to the club but he has to weigh things up. He might have opportunity to have another couple of years at another challenge. He'll look at what's out there, speak to his advisors and come to a decision. I would imagine we’ll know what each other’s doing by the time we come back from speaking to Vincent Tan in Malaysia.

“But I don’t think he’ll leave it too long to make a decision. We've got to wait and give him an opportunity to see what's out there.”

I hope it's a realistic amount (7/10 grand )and not just a pittance so that it makes out that Whitts didn't want to stay!
Annis what's your stance on Whitts?

I agree with you there if he's offered £10k and turns that down bye bye.But I think it will be a lot lower thus forcing him out!

Annis what's your stance on Whitts?

My stance, Whitts is worth about £10,000 a week.

As many know I don't always agree with the club on many of their contract/politics, but I heard they have offered Whitts about that amount and so for me thats fair as Whitts can be class,but does not show it week in week out and is getting older and slower.

If that information is correct, I'm a Whitts fan and I couldn't argue that's not a fair offer.

However, I have the feeling that Whitts is more concerned about the possible lack of game time not so much the money which is also admirable as there are many players, historical and current, who would be quite happy to sit on the bench on that sort of wage.

He knows that he isn't going to play every game under Warnock and probably feels he would get a regular starting place in the majority of Championship teams. However, I would argue that if he did get a more regular starting place it may be a bottom half of the table team and wouldn't he rather contribute to a, hopefully, second tilt at promotion for us ?

I'd love to see him stay and think he could be a valuable contributor from the bench and as an occasional starter but I fear he will move to get a more regular game

Wez that's good money for his age and most probably get a testimonial as a top up. Perhaps its length of contract that's the sticking point.

He does what he wants!

Agree with everything said here. I believe he's torn, he wants to play games. I will support him whatever he does, he's a legend.

Sign the contract and make it hard for NW to not pick you. Perform. Give your best. Goals and assists. And prove the doubters wrong.

33k a week and you got people like Joe Ralls 10 years younger who can plug at the stats he racked in this season, 7 goals and 7 assists in 30 odd games, stats don't lie.. older or slower but still contributed to the most to the team out of everyone.

Yet people want him out the door and you got people like Gunnarsson with 3 goals and 3 assists, Kadeem Harris 4 goals and 4 assists, Joe Ralls 6 goals and 1 assists, some of these guys are 5-10 years younger than Whitts and can't pull in them figures and you guys think these are the players to get us near promotion?

I hope Whitts takes it but like McNaughton this guy has stuck with us through thick and thin, he had tons of offers from Prem clubs and clubs in our division, I think the treatment is shocking by some on here especially Wez every club makes a player a millionaire you clown you make out he's the only player who makes money in football the amount of players we paid like Caulker etc and didn't give half of what Whitts has to this club.

He does what he wants!

In this case he probably won't

f**k me £5k is more than enough in my opinion. That's £10k a month after tax. I could have a fantastic life on that sort of money for not working. Sounds wonderful to me.

Pile, I'd be interested why you feel he's more interested in playing more games than the money. I'd like to know more; this must be some inside information, yes, in which case spill the beans.

33k ?? whats that.? If that's what Whitts is on are you saying you would keep him on that? Just asking,

Stats do lie and can be misleading,how many mis tackles or not closing down of opponents? Whitts is not the player he was ,he was a great player but not anymore

What if Swansea sign him, would you fear him playing against us ???

No all ypu have to do with whitts is press him and give him no time on the ball and hes useless

If it was that easy to close him down why do you think he's still got the top assists, etc. ? Don't you think a few of the Championship managers might have worked it out too !!??

Nobody is saying Whitts is at his best now, however the fact is that he's still more effective, in creative, terms than any other player (excepting Zohore) and until we sign better it would be good for him to stay.

Can't claim to be ITK as I didn't hear it personally. However, I do have a mate who had a conversation with him in Penarth the week before the Newcastle game and he did say that he needed to play.

No more than that sorry.

Of course he needs to play and so he should he is our best player. I'd build my team around him .

I'd be delighted if he signed for any other Championship side, he's so easy to mark out of the game. Just be careful you don't give away too many corners and penalties.
