DCFC1388 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Never looked good enough for this level imo so a good move for him. Just hope we have a decent sell on % EtoileSportiveDeDerby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuskus Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 That’s a great deal. Hasn’t looked good for us when has played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hmmmm... Swansea tends to have decent recruitment and Steve Cooper knows a good English youngster... Whittaker was clearly too good to play in the U23s, but never quite made it in our first team. I think with Coopers coaching he could reach his potential.

roboto Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Thought people were saying he was worth £4m odd on the West Ham thread... jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Ram Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I think there is definitely a player in there with Morgan. He just looks a bit weaker than the rest of the youth that have come through. I never fancy him to win a 50/50 or not be bullied off the ball. He's looked good in patches & has ability. Just think he might be a bit slower to make the step up than the others. Mcdonald is probably also ahead of him of him now Will Hughes Hair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Surprised but not surprised in a weird way, 700k seems good now but in a couple of years might not look so good! But if Rooney doesn’t want him then we back him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I hope he does well if he goes, had to put up with a lot of negative social media in his short professional Rams career. Rev, Indyram, GB SPORTS and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Good deal for us, surprised we've managed to get a decent fee for him. He's never really offered much despite being given plenty of opportunities. I expected a loan to a side a division below, but more than happy to have that money reinvested at the expense of Whittaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Trav Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Tbf he doesn’t have the required strength or tracking ability for a Rooney winger. Look at kamil and knight. Work their arses off Morgan isn’t great at the defensive side of the game. Saying that his technical ability is one of the best in the club easily. Surely this means we have money. If not serious questions must be asked about Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladram Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I like Whittaker and think he will develop into a good player but we have other options coming through in his position. Others such as centre forward and centre back we don't and need to wheel and deal to cover these. Sensible deal if true.

Guest Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 That’s great business for Derby. Cannot for the life of me see Whittaker making it. Thought we’d loan him out to league 1 or 2 but 700k!?!?!? Great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Disappointed at the fee, hopefully we have some good add ons and a decent sell on. Will Hughes Hair, Comrade 86, Parsnip and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckram Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don’t mind this too much if there’s a sell on clause in there. I’ve always thought he will be a good player in his mid 20s when he puts on a few pounds of muscle. Currently too lightweight to be a championship player.

strawhillram Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Not good enough at the moment, but does he have future potential to be a key player. Who knows. £700k if the swans have the money is a low risk investment for them. Hopefully some sell on clauses just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sheriff Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I would be surprised if he made it at this level. 700k is fine by me but a cheeky add on would be nice should he prove me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
