Imagine a player with Deano's talent and Imbula's work rate. Could such a human even exist? Brek Shea I still think he'll come good.

I'm actually 99.99% certain Pulis told us he was a BOX TO BOX midfielder.

Saido in current circumstances surely comes close to being the worst! I said "one of the worst" but Saido has more ability in his little toe than whitehead has in his whole body. His only talent was being able to run a marathon every day of the week. 5.5m (which in old money was a bloody fortune back then) on absolute dross.

He was absolutely toss. When you say "one of" how many are you lumping in that bracket? Because if I could be arsed I bet I could name 100's of worse footballers than Whitehead who have played for us. I get what you're trying to say but you are still talking shit

I get what you're trying to say but you are still talking shit I also said "pound for pound" because obviously he wasn't as bad as David xausa, David rowson and o'neil Donaldson to name just a few.

He's a defender who defends. Whitehead was a midfielder who couldn't pass wind and was a walking yellow card. In their respective positions pieters is like Messi compared with whitehead

I'm not saying he was great, far from it, but what's the point in another thread highlighting it? I can't get my head around the thought process of "Ahh Dean Whitehead plays for Huddersfield, didn't know that... let's start a thread about how shit he is".. get a hobby.

Only at stoke could n'zonzi be slaughtered whilst whitehead is lauded. I loved N'Zonzi and fought endless battles against the idiots who couldn't see what a good player he was/is. How is that relevant to randomly slagging off Dean Whitehead when he's done nothing to deserve it though?

Like a few other 100%ers I just wished I was watching someone else who could play football. Your missing my point completely. It wasn't Deano's fault that TP spunked £5m on him was it? it wasn't Deano's fault that TP went on to play him was it? when someone tries their hardest I feel it's fine to say they should be replaced by better but it's extremely harsh to slag him off when he's been gone from the club for years. Just my opinion but I think there's better and more constructive ways to spend an evening.

Slagging a bunch of tossers off that earn way too much and are shit at their professions sounds like great fun to me. 😂

He was a lovely bloke and 100% committed to the cause. He was still crap

Some liked him, some didn’t. What’s the problem?

I think it was more that we paid what was then a fair wedge for him by our standards and he wasn't as good as what we'd already got at that time. Didn't realise we paid 5 million for him.... that is quite a bit for a player of Dean's ability lol. You realise we paid 18 million for imbula , and for all deans faults ( he's not exactly Shaq on the ball ) he's a lot more competitive at prem level than imbula

Imbula was a costly mistake for all kinds of reason, it doesn't make Whitehead a better footballer though. Whitehead worked hard but while he played we could never hold on to the ball for more than 5 seconds. One of the worst distributors of the ball Ive seen at Prem level.
