According to the Daily Star (so make of it what you will) both Derby & QPR are interested in Jedinak, but his £38k a week wages are putting them off

That would be scary to not have Jedinak in the centre

For £38k a week we could probably do better but I'm not sure I'd trust Bruce to replace him well. Probably end-up with tubby Huddlestone.

I like Jedinak, but if we want to play 442 then we will struggle to play him as he really isn't good in a two man central midfield. So if he went and we got in a more mobile replacement I can see the sense in it.

Can Jedinak play in a back three alongside Terry and Chester? Two good engines in the CM with proper wing backs trying to provide service to two front men and a no.10 playing in Mick McCarthy's favourite position.

I would think that he's far too slow to play in a back 3 with terry. Instead of, maybe..?

It sounds like a gay bar. Let me dig out my most flamboyant T-shirt/top and I will meet you there at nine o' clock.
