Reliably told this morning that we have agreed a fee (in principle) for Joe Ledley. We do have other CM targets though, and I'm not sure how far up the pecking order he is.

VillanousOne Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I thought Ledley was still recovering from an awful injury, he certainly looked way off the pace in the world cup. great beard and dance moves though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Leon Osman still available, would add bit of class and professionalism to our midfield 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you wouldn't think so but Nolan dropped down a division at the time from Newcastle to West Ham, so it does happen- if the deal is good enough for the player.

That is the whole negative about the post is actually the positive you like. But hey ho I'll leave it there Have you heard of the phrase 'every cloud has a silver lining'? Recently I had three weeks off work, it was stress related. As one of the symptoms I had herpes on my gums, which is absolutely horrible let me assure you. I wouldn't recommend it, I'm not happy it happened, but as a result me and my partner have conducted a full review of the business. This has expedited our growth into new ventures, ones which give me pleasure. My enthusiasm is restored and I'm no longer 'stressed'. That growth would have happened regardless I'm sure and I'd rather it had happened without the mouth AIDS, but hey, every cloud... I hope that helps you understand.

andym Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Ledley would be a good signing, would add the physicality and engine we need in the middle of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great engine, knows where the net is, not bad on the ball, hard as ****. The reason he's not a 'good' Premier League midfielder is a lack of pace and a lack of real cutting edge quality, which wouldn't be as much of an issue at this level and in this team. Assuming he wasn't our only central midfield signing of course, but one of a pair. I'd be absolutely delighted with him here and surprised Palace would let him go. He's the player we all wish Gardner was, but isn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) I get all the "at this level" talk, however people have to remember our aim is to go back up asap. If we overload ourselves with great players "for this level" we will have similar problems as we do now with restructuring. We should be going for younger players who will be good enough to make the step up and grow with us in a year, experienced Premier League (or other top league) players. A blend of young talent, as well as older heads who we can eventually phase out for younger high quality replacements!

jacketspuds Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Led let would be a good signing but we would still need an ACM to play alongside him and Tshibola. Fingers crossed for a busy couple of weeks. Edited August 9, 2016 by jacketspuds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'd much prefer Jedinak. Ledley is ok but nothing special imo whereas Jedinak is the better player and would offer more to our midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is when "great at this level, can do a job in the premier league" players are available we could probably do with them because apart from the new boys the current squad is full of players who on the whole couldn't do a job in the premier league and are mostly untested at this level.
