Donkey dangler 0 Posted January 12, 2017 Will the club take up the option of another year on Whittaker''s contract? That superb display at Birmingham must give us hope that he can play at left back for the rest of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted January 12, 2017 Hopefully they give Michael Turner one too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,190 Posted January 12, 2017 Yes. We couldn''t replace him with better for the cost of another year. No brainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highland Canary 76 Posted January 12, 2017 He is arguably the rest right footed leftback we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jools 584 Posted January 12, 2017 Yes, definitely, he''s the best left-back we''ve ever had.He reminds me of Roberto Carlos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chesney Hawkes 0 Posted January 12, 2017 Solid professional with international experience who hasn''t let himself go despite not getting first team action. Why wouldn''t we, provided he is happy to stay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 490 Posted January 12, 2017 I fear that another contract is just what will happen. Save money and have him as back up to Toffolo next season. Probably do the same with Turner. Prudence with(out) ambition and all that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,094 Posted January 12, 2017 If as seems likely next season will be a season in the Chumps then yes.I have always thought him better than most on here in any case, but he is versatile and will cause Championship defences problems, although Championship attackers might well expose his lack of pace on occasions.

If wed only kept Howie.. 3 Posted January 12, 2017 Yep, I agree with Jim..funny that Lappin (deservedly) got a lot of praise for being a model professional and yet Whittaker doesn''t.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,503 Posted January 12, 2017 To be fair Whittaker may want to move on for some regular first team action. He would probably be a starting right back for most midtable championship sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,352 Posted January 12, 2017 Some players improve for being frozen out. Lapps even became royalty. Whitts is a better fullback than The King of Spain. Go figure... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
