[Archived] News Article -> Whittingham Signs for Rovers

[USABlue]

Warnocks comments on Whittingham, typically Warnock, snidey, sarcastic.  If there are back handed compliments that read like a back handed put down to me.

Think he's either going to be a Danny Murphy type flop or like Lee Carsley when we dropped a division who then became very competent at that level and our captain, a very influential player (before asking to leave). Appreciate that's a bit of fence sitting, but what I'm trying to get at is my gut feel is that this won't be a mediocre signing. He'll either do very well for us, as he pulls the strings in midfield, or will be too old and past it and it'll go horribly wrong. Since I've thought Cardiff were awful the last few seasons I've seen them, I'm slightly towards the latter, but hopefully being a division down will compensate for that.

Lol. Thanks for the paraphrase. I was trying to say he'd make a big impact - either positively or negatively - it won't be a signing that is simply ok/mediocre.

Only scores terrific goals long time ago we had a free scoring midfelder.

In light of the above, perhaps Rovers should offer to arrange a testimonial vs Cardiff next summer?

Or make sure we play them in the league next season.
