Wouldn't say he's had a cracking start to the season, tbh I think he's been a bit crap.

The problem is that we are so short of numbers I just can't see TP even thinking of getting rid of any reasonable backup at the moment so I'd expect it's a non starter.

We need all the back-up we can get, I doubt we'll sell anyone.

Fuck selling Whelan. I can think of six other players we should have unloaded this summer first..

No way unless it's in exchange for Collison or Noble.
for me if Wilson has signed in order of importance our midfield'd pecking order I'd say is
Palacios Rory Whelan Wilson Whitehead Diao Arismandi Tonge
I'd love them to take Tonge or to a lesser extent Deano off our hands.

I think Deano is a good player to come on with 20 mins to go and we're winning he closes down the players and can help keep the leads.

Whelan aint the best really is he? But yeah we're short of numbers, think he's here till Jan at least!

tbh I think Glen has been one of our most improved players over the last 4-5 months although I am not denying that we are desperate for a quality playmaker who can actually shoot a ball from midfield. I would like to see jermaine jenas come stoke but its all about this fkin wage barrier that stops us.

We already have a better midfielder than Whelan but unfortunately TP seems to think he's a full back ???

Hellu! Saw that Scott Parker will leave West Ham for Spurs, but WHY would our Whelan leave Stoke? The Hammers boss wants Whelan...

Palacios in does not mean we can afford to lose Whelan. We need the squad numbers.

I totally agree! Hammers boss must be dreaming.

But I agree it would be stupid to let him go, fingers crossed he'll be first choice along side WP (if he signs) unless someone else comes in.

i doubt pulis would entertain the idea in selling one of our most consistent premier league players. Infact both pulis and scfc should be looking at an extended and improved contract for him.
Brilliant player and one that i would loathe to leave stoke.

I wonder Whitehead thinks of this Palacios news. He's got to be looking over his shoulder now? Losing him and Whelan if we could get 2 in really wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

I'd rather se Collins, Sidibe and Diao leave.

Whelan could be tempted away of it involves a pay rise. There is also the lure of London life.

I thought he'd agreed an extension?
In any event, Whelan is EXACTLY the kind of player we need to keep, not send away. We're trying to build to squad to compete in multiple competitions and have quality off the bench. FFS, I hope there's nothing in it.

I don't think he deserves it with having 2 years left on his current one. Needs to do more this season. 6 months ago we'd have driven him to his next club!

True, bayern, I'd forgotten how low he'd sunk last winter - he really came good in the end. Hopefully he can hold that form and stay in the squad.

I hope so too despite what I've said! Whitehead will be the one to watch though I reckon. If Palacios signs he'll be fourth choice, I can't see him being happy with that at all.

Perhaps not, but he could still get Europe & cup games if he'll play like he did Thursday. Who'd be wanting to take him off our hands, anyway?

He would but if he thinks he's better than that, then he'll want out. Not a clue, I'm sure we could con someone!
