Gazza_8 233 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) FF. Apparently he's rejected a new contract that would've seen him become the 2nd highest paid player at the club. We've also knocked back a 4th bid of 800k from Bursaspor. Who is the highest paid player BTW? I don't think he merits that status one little bit. If true, I don't see where his arrogance comes from. I thought he was average at best last season yet he's knocking back this kind of offer?!?!?! Wouldn't be a huge loss if he's sold. I wonder if McLeish wants him?

Tumshie RFC 0 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Whittaker's the ultimate confidence player. He's either brilliant or absolutely woeful but he would be a loss IMO. However, if he doesn't want to sign a new contract punt him and bring someone else in. That being said I still think he will sign a new contract. He definitely won't be going to Turkey 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Not arrogance just the realisation he can get more money elsewhere. Loyalty < Money 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had 1 good season for us and he thinks he's something special. Next! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 He's a decent player but not one I would lose sleep over if he left. I agree with what Tumshie said, he's either good or bad. Any team he left us for would be a step down IMO as he's not going to sign for a top club anywhere else. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to make a poor start to the season then really come onto a game towards the end 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,150 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 According to his agent, Whittaker wants to go. Fair enough, take the cash and buy a replacement. Broadfoot will do in the mean-time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Poor show from Whittaker, disappointed with him. I'd sell him now but not to Bursaspor. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Really shocked that he's knocked back big wages - his arrogance is not backed up by ability despite a decent season. He can leave. I did wonder why the papers this morning headlined with a �£2M tag for Whittaker. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
