" CARDIFF CITY STAR COULD BE LEAVING ? "

End of the day, Whitts is still one of our best attacking players - his assists and goals show that, year after year (including this one). So yes, I consider £8k a week a disgrace given we are supposedly paying him over £20k per week right now. It's not a true value of his worth to our team, and I honestly believe there are teams in this league that would die for Whitts to be in their starting eleven.

Just goes to show some of the shit that gets thrown Whitts' way by some of our fans. When folk like Hudson and co were shipped out, or pretty much forced to leave, everyone was calling it disgusting and disrespectful to players who had given us so much. Same pretty much being done to Whitts, but that's seemingly okay because for whatever goddamn reason some people just don't think he should be playing any more.

It's rubbish.

Hudson & co were forced out not offered a deal of 8k a week. How are you even comparing the two totally different scenarios??

They aren't different at all. We're offering Whitts a nearly 70% drop in his weekly income, pretty much forcing his hand to leave, whilst allowing ourselves to have a little bargain if he DOES sign because he IS better than most in our squad (he's also got the best delivery, etc).

All the people in here scoffing at £8k a week being a poor offer, or £400k per year, etc, are losing sight of the fact that he is a professional footballer currently living on an income significantly bigger than that. How about the rest of us take a nearly 70% pay drop from what we are used to earning, and see how that makes us feel?

He should've been offered about £15k, no lower.

A footballer in his 30's will expect a paydrop it's part of being in sport it's inevitable. We have a thread complaining about season ticket prices, club debts and your saying a player who will feature on the bench should be paid £15k. You also say one of our best attacking players?? Look at the team without him recently.

Some people want it all mate

Bit of a bullshit comment to associate with me, when I neither complain about current season ticket pricing nor a lack of transfer money and cost cutting. But nice try.
