Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[PeterWithesShin]

I'd be interested what Palace fans have to say about him for that reason.

Question marks over whether his legs have gone? He's only just turned 32 not 42!

[Matt Collins]

What like lescott was this time last year?

Exactly. Think Gareth Barry, never fast or quick, so the fact their legs may have gone is irrelevant. Thye were never fast in the first place

We need to check whether Jedinak has bought a new car lately.

[OCD]

So we have 3 bids in then - would that be Jedinak, Hernandez and maybe Kodija?

If they come off and we get rid of the extra timber we're carrying the squad's going to start taking shape.

Jedi is exactlay what we need.  A big aggressive fucker to protect our back 4, not a pointy midget.  Get him and I will be well happy

This. He's still got more than enough in his locker, particularly at this level. He's going to be a positive influence with a wealth of experience in an area we've lacked it for a while. He would make our CM look a lot better and compliment our younger talent there.

I'd buy that for a dollar.
Christ our squad would look better than it's looked since the halcyon days of Houllier.

I'd be very pleased with Jedinak for this season, he could be a very useful player.  Obviously there would be doubts about his long term usefulness given he seems surplus to requirements at Palace, so hopefully any contract will be sensible.  But the absolute priority has to be getting promoted and for that he would seem a excellent fit. 

Plus it gives us another leader, along with Elphick and McCormack and that could be a really good thing in the long tough season ahead.  Three real battlers to lead by example.

Yes, we can worry about people being good enough for the top flight in the summer that precedes the season we rejoin it. Until then it's horses for courses.

The Newcastle game tonight shows why the likes of McCormack, Elphick, possibly Jedinak, Gestede and possibly Hernandez would be so vital. All played in this division with success. They know what it is about.

[paulcomben]

Hernandez & Kodija in would mean Kozak & Ayew out. Seems agreeable.

[chrisw1]

Ayew out doesn't seem agreeable to me.  Not at all.

[Matt Collins]

I can't see us buying three strikers in a week!

True. We haven't bought that many worthy of the job description in a decade.
