4th post, although in fairness I must have said Jedinak about 50 times since last summer so I gave myself a fair chance.  Almost as bad as that bloke was with Beckford or Altidore.

Jedinak from Palace still worth a look

Page 1. Bugger.

Page 1. I suggested whatever the player is called that we got from Bristol City. Don't bother checking, it's there, I definitely said it.

Best ever suggestion was Jason Scotland. At this point it was years past his brief Premier League stint too and he must have been about 33 when the legend that is Villakicks suggested him with total sincerity.

Someone on here caught a bit of a Leicester game on TV and suggested Steve Howard (the old shite Derby striker) as a centre-half to replace the injured Laursen. Not realising he was a striker, just that he was heading it a lot.

That's going to be hard to beat as far as godawful suggestions go.

I was suggesting Lescott for years, so give my future recommendations the grace and goodwill they deserve.

Depends how many years in advance you were suggesting it. He'd have been an excellent signing in about 2003.

Dolly O'Dreary tried to buy him for us I think, a fee was agreed with Wolves but he turned us down.

I remember saying to mates when we signed Lescott: 'easily our best centre half'.

He was, but fuck me that's damming with faint praise.

B'ham mail apparently saying we are one of a host of clubs looking at Reo-coker on a free.  I thinks he's shit and we shouldn't bother personally.
