Reading the masses of Cardiff posts on the main rumours site. A lot of their fans seem to think Whittingham's no longer needed and could be on his way out. What do you reckon? He was all the rage on this site this time last year.

Just registered and want to use the nickname somebody very kindly gave me on this site during a mini-argument. So the above post was by me, Mr Happy.

Need me to drive him here?

Whiitingham's a very good player and a model professional. Something has clearly gone wrong here and you would do well to step in even though I don't want to see him go.

Redbird

He has got norwich written all over him.

Would be very happy to see him in a white (albeit with blue stripe) shirt. Fingers crossed for this one!

What do you think though Redbird? Is he done at Cardiff or is this just fans getting ahead of themselves?

I think Morison is going to shine next year

Strap a light bulb to him and you might just be right, he is garbage he hasn't played well for 2 years.
Please peeps you are on the web there is no excuse for these ridiculous comments.
Check his stats and tell me how good he is, you will find i'm right.

"Check his stats and tell me how good he is"

Morison:
Overall Appearances:418
Goals:187
Goal Ratio: 1 every 2 1/4 games

McCormack:
Overal Appearances: 251
Goals: 76
Goal Ratio: 1 every 3 1/3 games

The stats say Morison is a better striker than McCormack.
So what's your point?

Ok let's be more realistic and use stats a little closer than 10 years ago.

Lets use 2011/12 forward so last 2 seasons

Morison goals = 15
Mccormack goals = 26

now I never compared him to ross you did I was rating morison on his own low goal rate in recent seasons, you said he scored 14 for norwich in his 1st season when he had score 12 in his career so again this info proves me right. MOT

chris humphreys who plays for motherwell and jamacia is out of contract at the scottish club and will possibly sign for the whites in the summer + I don't think sam byram will leave because it says on the video on releasing the new kit that 'hopefully this kit will get us up to the premier league'

Good player, do well for us

Good player bad attitude, chucked his international career before it began.
he is another ryan hall, some promise but why should we help him back, as at his best he MIGHT make the line-up but prob not by the time he improves.
A bit harsh I know but I want positive signings warnock realy has affected some of our fans views on what a good player is.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Byram go actually. For once we have the upper hand in the deal, and if a 8-10m offer comes in, we have to be realistic.

As long as the cash was re-invested into the team, then I can honestly see us accepting.

Firstly Byram doesn't want to leave, so doesn't matter what's offered, secondly BM wants him to stay, as do haigh and patel, that tells me we don't need to sell to build, so stop stirring.

Agree with the comments why are their people say sell him and get the money we don't need to sell players we need to build a team not wreck a team again. We are now in a good position new manager new owners and we can look forward to this summer a lot better than the last one. Players will want to come to Leeds
Ed why can you agree and disagree on the other page.

Problem with selling Byram to fund other transfers is that when a player has a choice of clubs why would he go to a club who have just sold their best player? They wouldn't. You want to play in a team showing ambition not selling their best player. Don't give me the usual spiel about them wanting to come because we're Leeds, it means nothing to most footballers these days.

Sam Byram an excellent RB at championship level and I would say a good RB at premiership level. What should we do? Cash in or wait? Potentially a great player but who knows what can happen. Young players can go off the boil so quickly you wouldn't believe. I say cash in at a decent level. 6 million.

We have to keep our young players we can not keep been labeled a selling club, keep the young players get some older players in build a team for the prem may be not next season but we do have good young players if we don't have the backing yet financialy we have to keep developing the youth team not selling one of them when a prem club comes knocking they are under contract. We can off load some of the older players and don't forget younger players don't want high wages we have a opportunity to build a team for the prem and any young player would relish the opportunity, also why go to a money club where they will only be a reserve player just my thoughts

and I do like the new shirt

Call yourself a Leeds fan, considering Man C were prepared to offer 10 and you'd accept 6, you know nowt, he has to stay as part of a re building of the mighty whites

6 million? and we know already man city would pay twice that so where are ya going with your 6M another season or so will be worth twice what man city will pay we shouldn't sell anyway already a future international in my eyes how many better right backs in our league are there! have to keep onto our best players if we wanna c the big time again!
irish leeds fan!
p. s from cork also lol

Full-backs, statistically, get more time on the ball than any other player. They also don't tend to go 'off-the-boil' as much as attackers because their creativity is often secondary to their ability to get back and communicate with the rest of the defence and midfield. That's why Aidy White is so hit-and-miss. Can't defend for toffee.
Byram is very different and oozes potential just being realised. Expect interest from a number of the big clubs. Hope he stays but the only person who can decide that is Sam.

Why does everyone believe the tabloids? There is no way Man City have offered 12 mill for Byram cause if they did he'd be long gone! 6 - 8 million is a more realistic sum and if we were to get the 8 think of how many good championship players we could bring in. Promotion would be more or less guaranteed under our new shrewd manager. However in saying this I would love it if he stayed and BMD given a few bob to spend!
