Title: Ben Whiteman
Post by: StocksArmy on May 05, 2019, 11:58:13 pm
He is 20 effing 2. Chris Wilder has done one amazing job at Bramall Lane but letting this lad go has to be his only downfall. Full credit to Fergie i suppose! I said on here he was far better than Houghton and was murdered for it now, we will/should make a hell of a lot of money on this kid. 20 effing 2. Wow.

The thanks for us signing him goes to Jordan Houghton who thought he could do better than little old Doncaster & ended up at Franchise FC. Thank you Jordan

I don’t think taking a swipe at Jordon is justified. He gave his all for us.
Probably wanted to stay in the South. Don’t forget Ben Whiteman was not a holding midfielder last season except on the odd occasion. It’s GM that has turned him into one.

Yes I voted for Ben as player of year, so a very well done to him.
He has had a fantastic season and i voted for him for his consistency this season.
Probably only had 3/4 below par performances all season and 2 of them imo have been in recent games after his return from injury.

From what I gather, it was his lass that didn't want to move.

It was Jordan’s Mrs that wanted to be further South, the lad is obviously under the thumb 😂😂😂

How long does Ben Whiteman have left on his current contract? His performances won't have gone unnoticed by other clubs so I imagine a new deal may be something of a priority this summer!

Signed a 3 and half year deal. So Summer 2021.

Apparently she made some comment about Donny being a shithole or something. There's plenty of nicer places around the borough just as nice as where she will be from, that I have no doubt.

More likely it was the Donny nightlife that put her off,so many temptations for a young,talented footballer!  :silly:

I think they lived in Cobham, Surrey. So in response to your statement, there isn’t.

All I was saying regarding Houghton there was a contract on the table awaiting his signature & chose to look elsewhere my point was had we signed Jordan no way would we have signed Ben Whiteman who is a far superior player in my book - if some on here think I was ever having a go at Jordan you’re wrong - had we signed Houghton however there’s no way we’d be where we are now as he wasn’t mobile enough to play in a McCann midfield 3 whereas Ben has thrived

No need at all for any malice towards Houghton. He gave his all and did well in two years here. Clearly staying in the south was a factor in his future.

We should all be celebrating really. Houghton has had (from what I understand) an injury free season and now has another promotion on his record. Ben Whiteman has flourished here and deserves the player of the year award. And now we go into the play offs which already exceeds almost all expectations.

Happy days.

Jordan & his girlfriend had an apartment on Church Lane in Cantley before his move.

a quick Google street view of cobham shows a street of council house looking properties..   so in response to your comment. There is...
