It’s January and the transfer window is open. As usual West Ham have been linked to a number of players, one of these being Peter Whittingham.
The Cardiff City midfielder has been subject of a bid from the Hammers, thought to be around £3 million, which was rejected a couple of weeks ago but would the creative midfielder be a good signing for us?
I think Whittingham is a very good player, has to be one of the best players in the Championship. He is a goal-scoring midfielder, something every team should look to buy. In the 2009-10 season Whittingham was the joint top scorer in the championship, netting 20 goals. He scored 11 the season after and in this current season he already has seven for the season.
Whittingham was a left winger during his time at Aston Villa and his first few seasons at Cardiff. But in the last couple of seasons he has been playing in a centre midfield role, showing he is versatile, which could prove to be a very useful trait.
Whittingham is known for his composure on the ball, his ability to exploit space on the football pitch. Pundits have praised Whittingham for his vision, agility, passing and ball control all of which allow him to dictate the flow of play. His ability to control the tempo of matches is widely recognised as one of his most impressive traits. He is also known to be a set-piece specialist, which is an added bonus.
If Whittingham was to join us I believe he would improve our side, a team that has been struggling for goals in the last few matches.
