Philippe Senderos's arrival is proof that things are moving again on the transfer front and as Paul Lambert scours Europe for proven, experienced but cheap talent, rumours are emerging from Wales that Peter Whittingham may be in his crosshairs.The player - who made is name playing wide for Villa before heading off to Cardiff in search of more regular first team football - had become the target of The Bluebird's boo-boys under Malky Mackay and subsequently fell out of favour under the tenure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He has just a year to run on his current deal with Welsh club.
Able to operate as left sided central midfielder and provide width when required, if Villa are in for him it would appear that he'd be challenging Fabian Delph for a regular berth in the team, unless Lambert opts for a different formation next term.
Whittingham is approaching his 30th birthday, but his salary is likely to fit into the tight wage structure imposed by Lerner's era of austerity and although Villa would prefer to be picking up Bosmans, any fee would reflect his age and the fact he only has 12 months left on his current deal.
