Whittingham - good at free kicks , good at corners but doesnt do much else . 

After last season that's not a bad thing.  How many goals did we score from corners?

But I'm sure there are many players that have proven top-level ability that can take a corner. Not just someone who is stuck in a just above average Championship side.

How many of those have been one of the best players in the Championship for the last, three years or so?

naughton would be a great signing. Rated by my Leicester mates and might mean Hutton does one .  ;)

When we sold Kevin Phillips, I said we should have kept him.
'He'll be no good in the premier, too old, blah blah'.
Premier or otherwise, how many goals in how many games (many as a late sub) has he scored since then?
The point being, once a goal scorer, always a goal scorer, hence my interest in signing Whittingham.
By the way, Phillips scored 41% goals per game since leaving us and 46% between playing at Watford and leaving Villa.

That's almost double Heskey's best career efforts. So I suppose in Heskey's case we could say "Never a goalscorer, never ever a goalscorer".
