His wages will be to high for us unfortunately

I would have understood him leaving us for the Premiership, but his move to Celtic to play in an inferior league against inferior players was purely for financial greed and stalled his career. He could have continued improving to become a Premiership regular in the future if he held out for the right move, but he was so desperate to get away from us at the first opportunity to line his pockets.

Ross, I'm 100% with you on this one!
Joe certainly chased the golden coin with scant regard for the club he claimed to have supported all his life and/or the supporters who sang his name because they believed he was "one of our own"
Others will blame 'The Riddler' for Joe's departure but the simple fact was (not surprisingly) that his agent was doing his thinking for him and there was only ever one outcome, which is why he decided to run down his contract and sell his wares to the highest (not necessarily the most appropriate) bidder in the one-team League!
It's a big NOooooo! from me!

That's fair enough, Sven!
But as a footballer, would you agree that he would be a star man in our Cardiff City 17/18 team?

Ledley turned 30 years old in January so his career will be coming to an end in the next few years. Not much time left.
We are also short of central midfielders with only Whittingham, Ralls and Gunnarsson. Whitts might not be here next season too.
Personally, I'd love to see him back at CCFC and I think he would flourish under Warnock and could be one of the best midfielders in the Championship.

Just because he left without Cardiff getting any money people are pissed off with him. That is down to the club not getting him on a longer deal and getting a transfer fee for him. Celtic are a big club in European football and have a following about 3 times the size of Cardiff. I would welcome him back if the price was right. I think the championship is about his level at the moment and I think he is a Warnock type of player.

He'd probably half to half his wages to come here, highly unlikely. 30 isn't ancient by any means he'll probably still feel he can be in the prem but then spend the next two years bench warming before he decides he'll have to drop down a division.

It's his job. He's made a good career, he's a very good player and well liked in the changing room. I'd have him back in a heartbeat. He could have left before but didn't push for a move but then his contract wound down and the club pushed people like him and Gunter out of the door.

At his age and now playing as a stopper/presser in a 4231 would any of you have him ahead of Gunnar in that role ?
Was the 23 year old any better than Ralls is now ? If Ralls was born in Cardiff he would be in the Welsh set up

Sven, you make a valid point....however, let's not forget the year before he moved to Celtic the club blocked 2 possible transfers to Premier League teams for Joe which would have given him the chance to play at a higher level and obviously a huge pay rise. It's no wonder he left under a bit of a cloud 12 months later
Another brilliant piece of business by the clown Ridsdale!!!
