Whittaker Bid rejected on 14:06 - Jan 12 by itfcjoe | It's a tough one with Whittaker as does feel like he has that higher ceiling because of output, but when I watch him I think he may struggle in the Championship as doesn't seem to have that much to his game |
Slightly different football up in the Championship though, I can see him developing and progressing. Also, I feel the way we play really suits him. He would be a major step up on Edwards, Harness and an ageing Aluko - not that I have an issue with any of those. |  |

Phil's been notably quiet on this thread, so putting two and two together, I reckon it was our bid. |  |

I'd gladly take the fact he" hasn't got much to his game " if it got us up this season Next season is just that ...the investment into Whittaker would be just that wouldn't it ? That said I believe he'd be a decent Champ player to be honest |  |

We are limited to extent on squad size, so one or two might head out the door, perm or loan. |  |

Whittaker Bid rejected on 14:09 - Jan 12 by portmanking | I feel the same when I watch Harness though, to be honest. For all Marcus' endeavour, his technical attributes won't match up with Championship football IMO. |
Yeah I’m a bit like that with him too |  |

If you sign him for £1.5m and you go up it is well worth it, if he doesn't cut it at Champ level he'll still retain nearly all that value anyway so certainly wouldn't be averse to signing him even if have a couple of reservations re how he plays at level above |  |

Are we still interested? I wonder if there's actually any bid or its just to try and force interested sides hands. |  |

I get the impression since Gamechanger took over that as much as they won't be put over a barrel for fees, they won't waste peoples time with derisory offers either. |  |

The only way he goes back there is on loan, and Swansea have recalled him to sell him. So unless they get to the last couple of days and he's not been sold, I can't imagine he'll end up back at Plymouth. |  |

I think many are forgetting that Whittaker hasn’t got a particularly track record before this season, and Swansea, who know him well, didn’t bring him back to play him. This looks to me like them selling while his value is at its highest, because he won’t keep this going. We’ve all seen players who hit a streak of form in a specific environment but never go on to repeat that elsewhere - we have plenty of ability in the no 10 options we have, we don’t need Whittaker and I doubt he’d come here anyway. |  | |  |

Take from Plymouth statement when he was recalled ... 'Keen to ensure every avenue was explored in retaining an integral member of the Greens’ high-flying squad, Argyle made several proposals to Swansea City, including amending the financial terms of the loan deal, as well as enquiring about a permanent transfer.' I would suggest that means they got nowhere near Swansea's valuation for him. |  |

So strictly speaking they could have been the one bid referred to - don’t think anyone said when that bid was made…. What we are therefore left to conclude is that there are no offers for MW |  | |  |

Does feel more likely they are revealing a bid made since his recall! |  | |  |
