David Beckham available

"Whittingham's set pieces are better than Beckham's"!?!?!?

You couldn't make up some of the stuff on this board!!

I know I can't stop laughing at that comment myself

Why? I think if the majority of our fans had a choice who they would rather take our free-kicks and corners, the majority would rather Whittingham.

Beckham shits over Whitts for freekicks I'm sorry to say.

You haven't been watching Whittingham properly over the past few seasons then. If Whittingham wasn't our player and you saw highlights of Whittingham scoring free kicks and setting up goals from his corners every week, I honestly think you would agree he is just as good, or perhaps an even better set piece taker than Beckham. I honestly don't think any player in world football can consistantly take as many perfect free kicks and corners as Whittingham. I am not being biased, if Whittingham was in the Premiership and getting hyped by the media for scoring another free kick and setting up countless goals from corners, he would have a 20 million price tag. Whittingham is the best set piece taker I have ever seen, and will probably ever see in a Cardiff shirt. Those of you who think Beckham is better have fallen into the overhyping Premiership media trap.

There is only one other more consistent free kick taker than Whittingham and its fair to say thats Ronaldinho, in my eyes he is the greatest set piece taker around at the moment

so why hasn't Whittingham ever been called up to the England squad if thats the case..?

I'm sorry but whilst agree Whittingham is good at what he does he would never shine at Premiership level and he knows that hense why he hasn't moved on.

We are talking about set piece delivery here. A set piece is a dead ball. It can be Premiership level, it can be parks level, there is no difference, it's a dead ball kick. My opinion is Whittingham is currently the best dead ball specialist in British football at the moment and I can't think of one player in world football who I would rather stand over a dead ball ahead of Whittingham, including Beckham.

World football now [/quote]

Yes, I can't think of anyone better than Whittingham at the moment. Can you think of anyone who has scored from as many free kicks and has assisted from as many corners as Whittingham so far this season then, because I can't?[/quote]
Ronaldinho! he has scored plenty more than whitts

Anybody who thinks Peter whittingham is the best dead ball specialist in the world is deluded.
