Mile Jedinak - Released

[Chris Jameson]

I hope this bloke is as good as everybody seems to think he is, if you'd asked me three weeks ago what position he played I'd have guessed centre half. That's how much I know about him. Is he a hipster?

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.

He was having a good game, but when Huddersfield put us under pressure, Westwood disappeared again.  We really need a leader in midfield.

No need to get shirty. I was offering a contrasting view to yours which from my understanding doesn't carry much credibility after the way you talk up some real duds in the transfer thread. I don't post much because I don't feel my opinion is too often needed when there are plenty who can speak it for me without me having to say it, but when it comes to my countrymen's performances I feel I can offer some expertise as a sports journalist and producer in Australia. Objectivity is a professional requirement and as such I try to check my bias at the door - for example:  I wasn't very complimentary of Holman in advance of his signing despite how well he had performed in the green and gold.

I have seen some real cloggers  and dirty players come out of Australia but in my opinion Jedinak is not one of them. He had one out of character suspension for violent conduct -  which isn't a hanging expense - but otherwise he has had one red card and only 16 yellows in the last 3 seasons and 90 appearances that's just a little more than one in 6 games which is very good for a combative midfielder.

Good point well made . I give you my shirt . Okay

I really don't get the problem with the Visa work permit. I presume he has a permit until his contract at Palace runs out in 2017? He's played here for 5 years, is a full international. You see unheard of foreign players signing for clubs at 11.55pm on 'deadline day', and they're eligible  pretty much straightaway. Why is it Villa with these problems? Look at the goalkeeper we tried to sign last January, which turned into a fiasco.

There was a conflict of interests in the case of that goalkeeper. The key decision maker was connected to Sunderland.

He doesn't own a single plate.

I hear that he's had his converted warehouse in Peckham done out entirely like Kevin Muscat's 1991 Croydon gaff entirely for reasons of irony. Got Mrs M in to go to DFS and allsorts, I heard. Parks his segway in the disabled spaces to make a statement about consumerism too, apparently.

If his Instagram's anything to go by though, he had a lovely dinner this evening.

I'm hearing he will be choosing his company Pennyfarthing in the morning, the image rights bunce from the beard wax endorsement is all going offshore.

Yep, and insisting that BMH has a forty-two-berth scooter park installed and he's not drinking the coffee unless it's served by an actual Italian with soil under his fingernails. All according to eastie when I saw him at Binocular Club at BHX this morning.

Ooh er, 'ark at 'er.

I bet you order your shaving gear online from someone who hand mills the blades on goats horns (Swiss goats only) in an artisan workshop (shed) in Accrington, despite having the sort of beard that looks like the gene splicing of Baker and Jedinak himself.

I haven't done anything 'online' since Bowie died. If it can't be done on vinyl I don't do it.
