" IS PETER WHITTINGHAM ON HIS WAY OUT OF CARDIFF? '

Hmmm. With the centre midfielders that we currently have, I wouldn't sell him because I think that he is a lot better than some of the midfielders in our ranks... Especially when he puts in an effort on the pitch.
Ralls isn't quite experienced enough to start and last the full 90 minutes week in week out for me but he's getting there. I wouldn't be too confident seeing Ralls & Gunnar start in the centre.
When it comes to Whitts, I think that we need to buy before we sell him

Anything near £100 I would bite there hands off
He's well over rated
Slow in pace and mind now
Had one season scoring 20odd goals 13 from the penalty spot haha some on here think that made him a prolific goal scorer
His best pass in his locker is now a two yard pass back to where it came from
Oh and he's allegedly been loyal to us by renegotiateing his contract ( in his favour obviously) every time he's been mentioned to be interesting another club
He's stayed with us for the money and lack of ambition fact oh and his wife is a penarth girl and would not re locate anyway
Hull is defo a no no IMO

Not over rated, goals/assists every season and dictates play.
Had one season scoring twenty goals and countless seasons with ten plus (Even when played at holding midfield)
Best pass in locker is a two yard pass - heads gone
Could of left like Chopra, Jay, Jerome and Ledley before him, but stayed loyal to the club that gave him a chance
Has been given better contracts because he has deserved them after solid seasons year on year. If he's so bad why do countless clubs come in for him?
Since when did he get married pal? heads gone

Spot on mate

Yeah good post & puts into perspective the childish rants of this hater who threatened to leave the forum but can't keep away with his nonsense.

As he gets in we could use him coming off the bench to slow the game down and control possession for the last 30 mins, hes the best in the team at keeping the ball

I would be gutted if he left.

As we don't look like signing new players anytime soon it seems a bit daft to me wanting to sell a regular first team player. But sorry I almost forgot - most of our fans are daft anyway.

Keeping my fingers crossed but I think I'll be disappointed. Potentially great news!

I think he should be kept and be looking to a coaching role at the club

Troobloo you couldn't see class if it hit you in the chops. Admittedly whitts has been below par for a while now, but for year after year he was a top player in a city shirt. How you can undermine arguably our star player over the last 10 years proves your cluelessness. And I don't mean a few seasons, whitts has been here first on the team sheet for many years now

players get older lose form etc get over it my opinion and your opinion is different that's all
How's gestede doing ,I was one of the few who said he would come good

Great player with plenty still to offer at Championship level. Unfortunately, a rigid 442 doesn't show him at his best, unless he plays as the wide man of the middle 4, and then his lack of pace and one footedness is shown. Although not up to his previous standards last season, his dead ball skills are still excellent.

With the right planning of the tactics of the team around him, he may yet have another great season for us.

Gestede is still playing for a mid table Championship side. his agent talked up his value last year, but not even the struggling Premier League clubs have shown enough interest to sign him. If he's lucky, Bournemouth may be desperate enough to cough up a few quid for him, but I think they have more sense than to pay good money for players who were previously unable to make it at Premier League level.

and I totally agreed with you on that one, a bad mistake was letting him go as is this would be if we let Whitts go

Great player with plenty still to offer at Championship level.

Although not up to his previous standards last season, his dead ball skills are still excellent.

I do agree with you on your post and then you go and spoil it by saying Slade in
You hit the nail on the head at what you say about Whitts not being suited to a 4-4-2 and yet that is just what Slade is favoured too but yet he still picks Whitts. The guy is clueless sorry and don't know how to utilise his players to the best formation for the players and imho it is NOT 4-4-2

In the days of Gary Medel and potentially another premier class player this story would be a goer, but selling Whitts only to be replaced with Adeyemi or O'Keefe says a long hard season of kick and rush and hopefully avoid relegation.

A football club getting rid of their best footballer is not a good news story..... I am sure Adeyemi is a great athlete, but the athletics club is over the road.......

Madness.

Whitts got married the other day in Dinas Powys and is very settled down here

No, you undervalued his whole time at Cardiff saying he had one good season.

First of all I like Whits he has been loyal to us and when on form one of the best midfielders in the championship but this rubbish blaming Slade for whits poor form last season is a joke, Whits was dropped because of his form the season we went up Slade was not manager then , when we were in the premiership whits had a poor end of the season was Slade in charge then ? No so I am sorry all this blame on Slade and his systems is laughable.

A player should be able to play any system 442 451 433 either way a good player will play in any system, just for the record Dave Jones played 442 and Whits was at his best under Jones so give Slade a break FFs .

Have you been under a rock for the last 9 years? The man is a legend.

I'd let him go. How many times did we see him find space in midfield and do feck all, chicken out of 60-40 balls in his favour (one stands out was during OGS last game in charge, you could clearly see he didn't fancy it). How many good corners did he put in the box. How many free kicks did he score from last season. How many killer balls did play for our strikers to score from? How many games did he just fade, left gunnar to do all the running around! I think it's time for him to find a new club!

I hope that Whitts stays. That's all.

How many times have you seen him make a magical pass? How many times have you seen him win us games. The man is class.

Whitts is class above and a ccfc legend. If he has the right players to compliment he will excel. I think he's had a run of shit managers to contend with. Troobloo = CLUELESS

What an absolute childish post and one expected by you Steve. Your hate for Whitts is really blocking out the real scenario 20.000 a week is nothing at championship level if you're worried about wages.
If they get rid, which I think they won't, then that just says it all. I'm not getting into another debate with you about Whitts but if you think that selling him for anything over £100 is justified then that just says everything about you and I'm glad you're not our manager. Christ he must have really pissed you off or done something to your family for you to have so much hate for the man, it beggars belief.
For the record, if we do sell him then he will come back and bite us on the ass guaranteed, if we do sell then anything less than £2m would be absurd. Slade will never replace Whitts just because he doesn't have the desired pull to attract any player other than league one or two as that's his level, the good league one and two players will not join us end of. It's going to be a long hard season yet again

Steve, I'm so excited about this news I'm holding a beach party in my house tomorrow to celebrate and all the booze is free. You are very welcome to join in. The trouble is theres no sand, I'll be in my bikini and I've never been lucky in my life. Someone sold me the winning lottery ticket once, I thought it was a con and I chucked it away...and he went on to own Cardiff City. No, I'm gonna be disappointed, we wont be able to jettison this old sod easily! I'll go back to being grumpy now!

Dave, you're showing your true colours and being disingenuous now! Come on, get a grip!

People talk about how the heart and soul was ripped out of the club a few years ago, but for me, THIS would finally be what would make me feel the same way. Whitts is one of ours, would hate to see him go, especially when he's better than what we have.

I wouldnbt begrudge him a move to the prem but I dont thnk he would go to anther championship team. Surprised he is only on 20K a year. Thought he would have been on double that. For a player of his quality we should keep him unless the fee is about 5 million!

Hull would be a great move for him I think with him in the team they would go straight back up,and he probably would be their player of the season,go for it Whitts

I'd let him go. How many times did we see him find space in midfield and do feck all, chicken out of 60-40 balls in his favour (one stands out was during OGS last game in charge, you could clearly see he didn't fancy it). How many good corners did he put in the box. How many free kicks did he score from last season. How many killer balls did play for our strikers to score from? How many games did he just fade, left gunnar to do all the running around! I think it's time for him to find a new club!

How many times have you seen him make a magical pass? How many times have you seen him win us games. The man is class.

But that is all Gunnar does - run around. He can't pick out a pass. He has no pace. He has no set piece. His tackling technique is awful (which is why he gets injured so often in the tackle). If you prefer that to what Whitts gives to the team then you presumably enjoy Slade's brand of football. I am happy for you because you will no doubt get more of the same next year. You are welcome to it.

Read the recent interviews in the Echo with Leggy, Purse, Perry etc. and see who they thought is our most important player. Whitts.

Annis, Pete will again not leave Cardiff.

It doesn't matter how many different offers come in, he's settled here, has a long term relationship, owns properties and enjoys living in Cardiff. The only move that would potentially interest him is to go back to the Midlands, but as you rightly say he's on good money etc.

I'm quite shocked to hear you say he doesn't like football and see's it as a job. That's complete nonsense buddy, you're just making that up because he's laid back when he plays and is a laid back personality off the pitch. Poor from you. To say he can't wait to retire is just nonsense.

Funny enough people said the same about Koumas.

Peter Loves the city and loves football. Anything to the contrary is just false rumours.
