WHITTINGHAM-MER? ... promotion rivals
West Ham fancy the Cardiff striker


Hammers eye double swoop
By ANDREW DILLON



WEST HAM want Cardiff midfield ace Peter Whittingham for around £3million.
Whittingham, 27, has scored seven goals to help fire the Bluebirds into the Championship play-off places.

West Ham's bid comes just 24 hours after SunSport revealed they had made an official £3m offer for Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes.

Allardyce is keen to add both players to bolster the final charge in the second half of the season — as the club look to nail one of the two automatic promotion spots.

Although both bids have been initially rebuffed, West Ham are not giving up the chase.

Rhodes, 21, in particular, is a top target for Big Sam and he is set to raise the stakes with a higher offer for the 20-goal hitman.

Hammers have been hit by a series of injuries and bans, prompting Allardyce to get started on his transfer plans early, although the window does not open until Sunday.

If we could squeeze them for 4mill i think we should take it. We could definitely get 4 or 5 players then without breaking the budget. As good as whitts is we are not a good team if we need to rely on 1 player.

He wont go, he said himself he wont go unless the club decide to get rid of him, and Malky wouldn't do that. Not happening :D

Dont need a like for like player, just a decent CM who can pass a ball. Many out there that the scouting team can find. But with that 4mill its not just 1 player but 4 or 5. Id like to see Whitts stay but im trying to see the positive if he does go.

Very true but i think whitts is the heartbeat of this team, u see on here people sayin we need another 'match winner' in our side, whitts is the only 1 we have at the mo, and i wouldnt get rid of him, not for anywhere near 4m anyway, just my opinion :ayatollah:

Re: " WESTHAM WANT WHITTINGHAM "

Fri Dec 30, 2011 1:41 am

at todays prices i wouldnt sell him for anything less than 5 mill hes our best player and one of best in the division.

But for all we know malky has made it clear to the board that under no circumstances is whitts to be sold, unless a stupid offer came in for him, which would be a shite site more than 3m

No! We couldn't replace Whitts if we sold him for 20 million. It doesn't matter how much we sell Whitts for, we are a Championship club and we will not be able to attract a player of Whitt's calibre to replace him, whatever price we sell him for. Whitts simply cannot be sold!

Are they taking the piss, £3m, he's worth double that. Even at double tho, I'd still tell em to f**k off. Malky's built the team around Whitts.

The thing is with Fat Sam he has a BIG EGO almost as BIG as Sullivan and Gold, hold on a minute he is Fat Sam so he must be more important that both the porno kings put together. And there you have a pissing contest involving all 3 of them to see who can get on Sky Sports News or the tabloids the most.

Right now and depending on which one you talk to they have a list of 25 - 75 transfer targets - bollocks. All 3 of them are lacking in any form of class with going public about Jordan Rhodes proves, be in absolutely no doubt going public is intended solely to unsettle the player something Fat Sam, Sullivan and Gold all have form for.

Next thing we will have Karen Brady or is it Lily Savage because I can't tell the difference talking about possible transfer targets in her Sun column.

Trust me all of it means dickshit as West Ham don't have a pot to piss in and Sullivan and Golds quick trip to riches plan by getting their grubby hands on the Olympic Stadium is going up in flames. Will they sign players in January, Yes, but the only reason is it will give the 3 of them a chance of getting on SSN and massage thier Ego in the process.

As for Whitts he is going nowhere not unless there is a megabucks offer on the table and the same applies to Jordan Rhodes. The thing is the porno kings haven't got megabucks to play with but as long as SSN pander to their ego's they will continue to pretend they have.

This time last year and the year before that Jay was being sold and this season Whitts is our best asset so it must be him, why, because Dave Jones, The Sun and MG say so.

Must be true then. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
