Re: Possible affordable targets for next season

Whitteker?

Let's get real. If he goes anywhere, it will be to a club higher than us in the pecking order. He declined interest from lazio in the last transfer window, seemingly because he thought that he needed to stay at Plymouth a bit longer to learn his trade.
