One of those you hate when he plays for someone else and hopefully love when he plays for you.  We've needed one of those for years now.
As brian green said last week: we need a couple of bastards!

Makes a change from having a few wankers play for us last season.

bit of a rip-off paying 4m for a 32 year old in the last year of his contract. Just hope he's not injury prone/past it

We need a short term fix or two to get us up! And £4m is a bargain for a player of his quality anyway.

if he's fit and his legs haven't gone yeah. looking at his career you wonder why he got to 27 only playing 200 games

Have you the right player? He is 32 and played almost 400 games. He was also virtually an ever present for two season for palace a couple of season ago and made 34 appearances last season.

If you are talking about before his England debut, you do realise they play less games in Australia?


Look at his record. half his games are since he signed for palace at 27. That bodes well i guess but he's the same age as Lescott was this time last year and he was shot to pieces when we bought him. I just hope we've not been mugged off again

Bear in mind someone has just paid £12m for Ashley Williams who's 32. Someone has just paid £25m for Bolasie.  The worlds gone mad.  This is last years £2m. Definitely needed imagine him snarling when we play Small Heath.

Well given his age, just under half his games coming from the age of 27 is about right, better than only 10% of them.

Have you looked at his career?

Slow start before establishing himself with Sydney in Oz 82 Appearances in 6 years, most of which came in the last 2.
53 appearances in 3 seasons for Central Coast Mariners in the Aussie A-league
41 appearances in 3 seasons in Turkey
177 appearances in the last 5 seasons for Palace.

Hardly someone who's falling apart at the seams?

Maybe he'll reduce Westwood to a phantom menace?

well yes, i was wondering 17 games a season is not many. Was he injured? Mebbe that's all they play? 13 a season in turkey? Again not picked or injured. He's obviously picked up at palace, it just worries me that there's not many 32+ year old midfielders in the premiership, a few more where we are but still. I realise the transfer market has gone banana's but 4m seems steep

He'll definately be a force in this league, and a presence in midfield.

I think it's a case of not picked. Particularly in Turkey it's not unheard for foreign signings to not settle / fall victim to 5 managers before Christmas syndrome.  Other than that he was building his career in Oz or playing the vast majority of Palace's games.

To be honest if he gets us promoted by playing an important role in 10 or 12 key games for us, then it's money well spent, even if his "minutes played" stats look shite.

I find your lack of faith in his fitness disturbing.
