A few on here are suggesting that Whyte could be on his way out...........Why?
In his limited time on the pitch he has shown more consistency and than the much more experienced at this level, Murphy.

Sometimes faces just don't fit. Maybe there's a contract clause where we can get out of a few addon payments if he's not here?Quote:

I'd take him over Mendez-Laing or Murphy any day.
At the moment we have NML out injured and Murphy out of favour. So if we are to play with two wide men in then we only have Whyte and Hoilett to chose from. There is no pace in our team so and Whyte/Hoilett are not the quickest either.
I like Whyte he needs regular game time
Whyte is very quick. Have you seen him play ?Quote:

He's only been playing professionally for 18 months so I'm far from writing him off but apart from work rate, he doesn't really offer anything going forwards.Quote:

Wouldn't be sorry to see Whyte go. Good worker but in his time with us hasn't scored or created anything. Haven't seen in him any creative spark
He's learning, he's quick ,works hard ,tracks back, with each game I thought he was progressing.
Very unfinished article, although he does get a chance internationally, someone sees something in him ??
What does he do besides run around? He's not scored and set up 1 goal in 17 games.Quote:

I can’t say that I’d be sorry if he left.
Then again, I could say that about quite a few of the squad.
We could also flip that on its head and ask how many players would end up leaving us for promotion seeking sides? I suspect the number to be very low. Would Whyte attract interest from West Brom? No chance. If he's not good enough for them, why should he be good enough for us?Quote:

I started reading this thread and was wondering whether we had two players called Gavin Whyte because I didn't recognise the one I was reading about. I'm more in agreement with you because I think that, rather like people advocating getting rid of Etheridge because of his kicking, Whyte is being judged by things that are welcome in a winger, but are not their main function. When you have a team as short of creativity as we were earlier in the season when Tomlin was not playing that much, you need wingers to do what they are supposed to do (i.e. provide goals and goal scoring opportunities). Whyte has some admirable qualities, but, thus far, they've not included the provision of goals and goalscoring opportunities. To me, he lacks composure when he gets a chance to come up with either of those two things, so I wouldn't write him off yet because that might come with more confidence and experience, but our wingers have under achieved this season and I'd still say Whyte is only our third or fourth choice in that position.Quote:

I hope he comes good but like most of the signings Warnock spent good money on it doesn’t make sense to me.
He's only been here for 5 minutes - give him a bit of time. I remember when he signed, the Oxford fans were going nuts because we "robbed" them by only paying £2m for him.
Any more repeat performances like the other day and he'll be playing with a Championship team lower down the league for sure..Quote:

Whyte we wouldn't get much for but he is new to this level and for me hasn't had a good run of games yet.
Assuming Murphy was to move on I'd be surprised to see Whyte go anywhere.
Actually just noticed NML is likely out for season so perhaps Murphy won't be going anywhere either.

This is only his second season in League football, having spent last season with Oxford and prior to that playing in Northern ireland. It's a big step up which he has failed to make. I can't understand why Warnock paid £2m for him.
Cos he's a grafter.Quote:

I like him. Works hard and has a go, ala Chris Burke...
I think today proved that Whyte is better than League 2 but I fear his level is back at Oxford.
I keep hoping he'll kick on but beginning to lose hope.
He's a good player in a team with an attacking mindset where players move the ball, actively look for it and go at teams with pace.
That team isn't us. I'm not sure who looks good in this team/with this style.
Nonsense. We were on the front foot today and he was wasteful with his crossing and decision making.Quote:
