judderman 0 Posted May 29, 2011 He''s a good player, scores and assists a lot, but I''m not quite sure where he''d fit in. A good squad player perhaps to give Surman and/or Hoolahan competition?Apparently a bit lazy, doesn''t like tracking backhttp://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-news-Norwich-want-Cardiff-s-Peter-Whittingham-and-Millwall-s-Steve-Morison-article741721.html3 goals in a youtube playlist:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKWz_7pfn3o&playnext=1&list=PL2C998E876E5399C8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRAZY LEGS 0 Posted May 29, 2011 would be a top signing but can''t see us getting him for 1m he is cardiffs best player, if we get him for that we have well and truly ripped cardiff off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Eats Walkers! 0 Posted May 29, 2011 I''d be delighted with Whittingham, Been doing the business in the championship for a few years now and fits the Lambert signing mould well, hungry and deserves a chance at premier league football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wizard 0 Posted May 29, 2011 I was impressed with him for Cardiff, but there''s better out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted May 29, 2011 There is Whiz but the chances of Ronaldo, Messi or even Ashley Young coming here is very slim! If Cardiff are flogging Whittingham for £1m, I would rip their arm off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
William Darby 0 Posted May 29, 2011 Take £1m now before their administrators get their hands on the finances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,358 Posted May 29, 2011 If the 1million is true, I''d take him for that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Man of Kent 0 Posted May 29, 2011 I think there could well be something in this one. He strikes me as a lambert kind of player and he plays on the left but could work in a diamond. If we''re not getting Lansbury back there''s no doubt we''re short a midfielder.I fully expect us to sign a midfielder such as whittingham / Lansbury and also a pacey winger or two - need to be able to switch to 442 if needs be - not sure we can at the moment.

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted May 29, 2011 Very tidy player with a cracking left foot. Obviously we''ll lose a few players this summer but it would be ominous for Lappin or a return for Lanbsury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boyo 0 Posted May 29, 2011 I''ve always rated Wittingham and I would love him to sign. There''s probably not a better left foot in the Championship. I can''t see Cardiff letting him go for just £1m though, that would be an absolute steal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,615 Posted May 29, 2011 £1m for Whittingham would be an absolute. His record over the past few seasons speaks for itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am a Banana 0 Posted May 29, 2011 I''d certainly have him!! He is quality, but would be move to be a squad player? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alysha 0 Posted May 29, 2011 Seemed as though someone posted last night on a Cardiff message-board that he had inside info. that Whittingham was going to sign for us, the next day the papers are also reporting it, so it seems that it could be possible; hoping it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Largey 0 Posted May 29, 2011 Top scorer from midfield two seasons ago, solid if unspectacular this season, for a million thats a steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alysha 0 Posted May 29, 2011 [quote user="Largey"]Top scorer from midfield two seasons ago, solid if unspectacular this season, for a million thats a steal.[/quote]apparently he has been playing out of position this season to accomodate Bellamy which is why he has probably been seen to be not in the same form as last season but even so, as you say still a solid season for him even when playing out of position and for a million pound, a bargain if true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoogler 604 Posted May 29, 2011 Didn''t he have an injury this season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted May 29, 2011 I''m not sure if he played with an injury but he made 50 appearances for Cardiff last season. Does anybody know what his contact situation is? If he''s being quoted at 1m I can''t see him having more than a year. Definitely the right sort of player for me. Would love to see him here. mtv.. you are undoubtedly one of sweetest bon bons in the jar but why are you always so aggressive?

Mahogany 0 Posted May 30, 2011 He came 13th in the Actim Index for what that''s worth. Between Sinclair and Bellamy... Maybe not such an average season after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted May 30, 2011 He did alysha. I just checked and it seems he signed a new contract last October whch ties him to Cardiff until 2013. As he was the Championship''s top scorer the previous season I would imagine the new contract was in line with that. So unless Cardiff are in real financial trouble I reckon it would take a big fee and really healthy contract to prize him away. Pete.. you''re just a few seats in front of us in the Lower Barclay.

CRAZY LEGS 0 Posted May 30, 2011 jones sacked great chance to sign him now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclay Kid 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Several papers/online sources reporting the link now. As mentioned above, with Jones out of the picture it could be more likely. With 43 goals in 178 appearances for Cardiff, I would happily have Wittingham here, seems a good team player and a likely target of Lambo''s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky Norwich 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Would be a cracking addition and I agree with the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Man (who''s passing it on to yoooo-oooo-oooo-oooouuuu) that I''d put him in the team ahead of Surman.Goal-scoring midfielders are priceless in any team and he''s not bad on the ball either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
