Peter Whittingham transfer updates!

Mon Jun 20, 2011 10:44 pm

These are two different extracs about Peter Whittingham's transfer status...

"Leicester City look set to beat Nottingham Forest to the signing of Peter Whittingham from Cardiff City. Leicester chiefs were in Cardiff over the weekend to thrash out a £1m deal."

and here is the other one...

"Cardiff City are to replace the outgoing Peter Whittingham with Alan Gow."

How do you feel about this? personally i wouldn't like to see him go. :(

Alan Gow?

Hasn't he just been released by Notts County?

Are you reading those daft transfer rumour sites?

Our best player now, without any shadow of a doubt.

Anything less than £4m is daylight robbery and will be a sickening reflection of our club's financial standing (or lack thereof).

Really don't think he's someone we can afford to be selling, but aside from that, I also don't think it's a good idea to be selling anyone else before some new players are brought in. Really need to put together a team with what we have plus some new additions, and leave it until January to see what existing players aren't pulling their weight.

He left because he wants to play at a higher level. County wanted him to stay.

I would never class him as a winger, more of a wide player IMO.
Beckham never had pace, could cross a ball and would score tho and Witts offers us both those.

4 Million? isn't that what Man City want for Bellamy?? i dont quite understand how Bellamy and Whittingham could be valued at the same price, I'm sorry but 4 million wouls be daylight robbery to any club buying him, don't get me wrong... he is a class act on his day, but as one said 'I'm sick of him hiding when it matters' :ayatollah:

That'd be because he's not a winger.

Precisely.

Which is why I wouldn't accept any less than £4m.

Because we'd keep a class player, or, we'd rob someone of £4m.

I'm surprised it's taking some people this long to come round to this way of thinking tbh. No business acumen amongst you lot is there :lol: :lol:

He doesn't hide when it matters.

For the last two seasons he's been there when it matters. Which is all season.

I wouldn,t like to see Whitts go at this time. We have lost enough goal scoters as it is without bringing anyone in as yet. He not only creates goals bu he scores a lot. Look at the number he has scored over the last couple of seasons. He is an excellent dead ball taker. I know that we are going to get new players coming to the club but at this time where are we likely to score goals? There would be NO goalscorers in the team.

Nope, he doesn't disappear in games whatsoever.

Quality player, agree. Not much of an asset when he only displays that 1 in every 4 games or so.

Id like us to sign Alan Gow. I rated him highly at Blackpool, how on earth he ended up in Notts County is another thing mind,

Re: Peter Whittingham transfer updates!

Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:29 am

We've got a small enough squad already, wouldn't want many more to go! Talking about Whitts leaving is bonkers!! He's been key for us in the last 2 seasons! :ayatollah:

Re: Peter Whittingham transfer updates!

Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:45 am

£1m would be a decent price. We should be looking to get players in before selling though

Re: Peter Whittingham transfer updates!

Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:53 am

£1mil?!?!??? atleast £2.5mil please1!!

Can't believe what I'm reading here! £1 million would be a bargain! He's proven in this league and got a while left on his contract!

Can't sell him, surely????? :?

I'm hearing Leeds and it will be announced in the coming days - hopefully Carl can confirm.

My source has no reason to lie...

A decent price ? Perhaps you could list all those players of similar ability or better we could hope to get for that money to replace Whitts? Remember we are looking for a player who is still young and capable of scoring 35 goals from midfield over 2 years in the championship as well as chipping in with over 20 assists. Charlie Adam perhaps, but Blackpool might want a little more money....

Spot on my fishy friend!! :lol:

I can't believe some are thinking he should go, let alone for £1million! :shock:

Re: Peter Whittingham transfer updates!

Tue Jun 21, 2011 8:37 am

He will stay and sign a new contract imo.

Hope so anyway. If he was to go anything less than £2 million would be robbery.
