Mile Jedinak - Released

[ChicagoLion]

Our problem is that we seem to grab at the mantle of poor little under dog even though everything about us should project something quite different.

I'm happy with this signing. He's better than what we have and will immediately improve the team. I'd agree he's over priced for his age though but hey ho. We need to do whatever we can to get promoted at the earliest opportunity. If he can help with that then it's money well spent.

Looking at the poll here : Croydon Advertiser - 81% of Palace fans who have voted so far want to keep him.

Looks like the red tape bureaucratic jobsworths are delaying things over the visa work permit. Jedinak is contracted to Palace until 2017, so I presume his current permit is valid for at least another 12 months and just needs an extension? Or is that too simple?

Any chance of a pre match appearance

The ghost of Margaret Byrne, squatting over our bonfire.

Is £4m a hefty price in an age when Ciaran Clark went for over £5m?

He's at VP tonight.

Walking away from the Villa...

[Toronto Villa]

probably fucked off not being in the starting line up and seeing Westy in there instead. Can't say I blame him.

[Villa in Denmark]

Absolutely. Rotherhams record transfer fee is £500k. We spent 40 times that on our last two signings!

Or to continue PWS's Burton train of thought - the piddly little £4m irrelevance that Jedinak is going to cost is more than twice as much as Burton have spent on transfers in their history.

That's a fair point that just illustrates how impossible it is for a club to "do a Forest" these days. I guess it also proves that we very are much heavyweights in this division.

If he's dealing with the home office then I've got sympathy. A bloody nightmare. Bunch of twunts. Horrible, horrible organisation.

Yes. Ciaran Clark is six years younger and with (I think) longer to go on his contract.

I'm not really arsed if we're paying over the odds in this instance though. I only mind when we spunk it on crap players.

Sorry, wrong thread....Huddersfield equaliser

[Stirchley Villain]

I think we definitely need someone who can calm that space in front of defenders down. It's been a weakness for years and a constant source of late panicky goals conceded. My heart sank when Gardner came on.
