He's 32 not 109!

If you follow that argument we don't need cover for anyone below 32 so can get by with a 12 man squad.

I think that there are also different types of 32 year old player. Until he joined Palace as a 27 year old he'd only played around 200 matches in his career. For context, Wayne Rooney had played that many by age 20.

So one would hope that there is a lot more left in his body than the average 32 year old footballer.

Even so, he's not bionic. He may tire, get suspended or be injured. Not having decent cover for him would be foolish in the extreme; we are building a squad not a first 11.

The solution then is to buy even more midfielders. Buy all the midfielders.

Not sure what difference the useless pointy bastard can make coming off the bench.

He has played perfectly well the last 2 games, better than any other central midfield player. We cannot go into the season with Jedinak as the only experienced central midfield player in the squad otherwise we are setting ourselves up to fail. If we sell Wetwood without signing a replacement we are one injury away from a central midfield of Gardner and Tshibola, I am sure the manager is too experienced to allow that to happen.

My cousin is a Palace season ticket holder. He's gutted. In his words "He gives everything each and every game". I'm excited about this signing I must admit.

Spurs tried that for years and years and didn't do them any good.

Jedinak doesn't look like a player who's rapidly declining to me. He's coming right from Palace's first team. The Palace fans seem genuinely gutted, and Pardew has seemingly pulled a right Pardew here, and we'll benefit from it. He's a world away from a Ginola or Joe Cole. He's still Premiership class, so he'll stand out down here. I can see him being in the Championship team of the season. A good destroyer like him too, will get you far in the Championship.

It will be very pleasing to see a few players standing over a dead ball with all being able to deliver the killer strike or pass.
Also we have a fight for who will be the primary penalty taker!
Good times may be coming our way soon.

Miles Jedinak

And I believe him !
Any player can say that and we can expect that but this guy by all accounts is his best attribute that work ethic ! Like that about him. Have reservations about his agressiveness but think I may have been mislead as it's been said he usually just a tough competitor -again something all for and desperately want /need. Like this attitude and we want more like this . Straight in against Derby I say and he 'll enjoy the battle against Bradley johnsons who is also overly agressive so be a challenge or too. Maybe Pearson will step in too 😯

It's not been called that since Juan Pablo fucking Angel was up front for us.

For about one season too, if I recall correctly.

I think he'll improve us massively. When was the last time we had this leadership in midfield ? Stan ?

Me too.  Stan was probably the last real leader we had in midfield, but he will bring a physical presence in there that we have been missing for a lot longer than that.
