Mile Jedinak - Released

[Clampy]

Like Westwood in that he is a limited player who is only effective in one specific role - holding midfielder in a midfield three.  Also like Westwood, he gets badly found out when playing in a midfield two.

Totally agree with that.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

and what is it with that god-awful beard ? Surely there's a man-in-hiding under that thatch ? Even Baker's realised that having a beard doesn't make you a good footballer.

[footyskillz]

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?

Sickbeggar you called it right with your cautionary tale.one if only few looking back at the pages before he started and when he signed on this thread there was far too much fanfare about some passionate Australian gladiator when really we got the other sterotype of the lazy thoughtless and simple player. I think he's settled in early retirement and would be better playing mls or a league as he's without doubt the worst of the summer signings. I never rated him at palace other than an agressive so and so with a decent dead ball  (learnt skill not natural) .

Jedinak not in squad.
Has Bruce seen that lansbury and houraine  are the upgrade and jedinak is past it.
We knew!

No - he's got a groin strain

[Steve67]

I'm certain that Jedinak and Lansbury will be a real force. If we can add Hourihane too it will be a well balanced side.

Which would explain his recent lack of mobility

No - he's got a groin strain

[Ads]

He's had a groin injury for the past 5 weeks. Bruce said he's had injections in it on Friday and they're hoping the gap without a game will see it improve.

[Mister E]

Despite the views of some on here, I'd say Jedi is a very decent player with a great attitude. With two good MFers with him, he will look and be class.

[SoccerHQ]

We missed him at 2-0 up yesterday.

I doubt PNE's first goal would've happened with him on the pitch.

[ozzjim]

No way is the guy scoring the first if Jedinak is in.  Our the second possibly as he tends to stay in on a second cross too

Well with the 3 new signings for midfield Jedinak can rest on bench and not on pitch.
I don't see him as first choice . As all 3 signed can hold and give and move and tackle !

Agree

Jedi at 32 cant take the amount of games in this league add to that being jetlagged

have him on the bench as someone to bring on for the last 20 mins if needed, id have tshibola ahead of him

Clkearly if he can "hold and give and move and tackle" as you say, he has real value in a team that has been woefully short of all four characteristics.
You assume roles for the three MF players: Jedi has shown that he can play frther up the pitch, as have Houri and Angela. My guess is that SB would want to mix it up and interchange theMF players through the game, with Angela doing a lot of the running box to box.
In the end, though, it is a squad game and Jedi will not play all games, for sure.

[footyskillz]

Are we looking at Jedinak as the holding
Im not averse ti having him left out now we have more versatile and mobile midfielders who can do his job and then some.
What is valued is his experiences and know how within squad . Much like Tommy elphick.
They help welcome players and bring on younger ones.

        Jedinak
Hooray Lansbury BB

[kippaxvilla2]

He is out for another three games according to the Manager.  Big blow that.  Angela holding again tomorrow I suppose.
