Gazza_8 233 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 RANGERS defender Steven Whittaker is on Fulham’s list of January transfer targets.Craven Cottage boss Martin Jol wants to revamp his squad and plans to make a number of changes next month. MailSport can reveal Whittaker has been mentioned as a possible recruit and the Craven Cottage club would be willing to pay up to £3.5million. However, Ibrox sources have made it clear Whittaker is valued at a minimum of £5m. Rangers, though, can’t afford to completely rule out any bids. Whittaker, 27, signed a lucrative long-term contract last summer, which earns him in the region of £1m a year, and Gers onwer Craig Whyte has expressed concern about the wage bill. Boss Ally McCoist would like to keep all his top-team stars for the title run-in – but also knows he will have to shed a few players to bring in funds and trim the weekly outgoings. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest of Whittaker left but not until the summer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest superrcooper7 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I'd take £3.5m for him, he hasn't really performed to his standards of last season since his bumper new contract. (and anyway, we always have Kirk as a replacement ) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 It's all about having a replacement there. He's not perfect, but he's a decent right back, but if he goes in january, who will play there instead? As for the valuation, I think 3.5 is fair, can't see us getting more than that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Wouldn't bother me in the slightest of Whittaker left but not until the summer. Swap for Bryan Ruiz and I will be happy. I would even throw a couple of million in to get the deal done. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadfoot? In that order. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 0 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Whittaker has improved significantly since his early season horror show. But he's not indispensable. Far from it. But shouldn't this be in the transfer thread? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
