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.

Just hope he's not injury prone/past itWe 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 gamesHave 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?

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
Jedinak gives me a new hope.

I just hope we've not been mugged off againWell 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-league41 appearances in 3 seasons in Turkey177 appearances in the last 5 seasons for Palace.Hardly someone who's falling apart at the seams?

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
