Joe Ledley Coming home for 5 mill

Mon May 18, 2015 3:12 pm

Don't believe what you read online via wales online or twitter. I know a person who knows ledleys dad as the person used to work for his dad doing IT. Ledleys dad told the person that ledleys coming home in the summer for a fee in the region of 4.5 to 5 mill as ledleys partner Ruby wants to move back home as she's from Cardiff! Make what you want but the source is very reliable.

Has Joe been in contact with Dirk Kuyt about Howell's School?

I can't see Tan splashing that sort of cash on one player, and why would someone who is doing fine in the Premier League want to drop down to the championship.

For the same reason Let Fondre will take a drop in pay to go home.

Classic cardiff let Ledley go free then actually pay a fee for him back :lol:

Wouldn't be overall pleased spending 5m on him.

Le Fondre is not dropping out of one of the world's top leagues, and is moving to a side that may well finish higher than us next season. Big difference between moving between clubs in the same division compared to opting out of a league where you are playing on a world stage.

The same reason John Brayford was so keen to drop down from the Championship to League One?

Sorry Cameron, I do not believe for one moment Tan will pay that or spend that kind of money on City anymore.

I'm only passing on what I've heard. But the person is reliable. He's been right on a few things.

Almost certain Ledleys Dad wouldn't have needed someone working for him in IT.

When I askesd him is this 100% reliable he replied 68% :lol:

No there's not. Especially if you add in the wishes of family.

Still earn a decent wage but with the added advantage of having a very happy wife. Not everyone is driven by carer over EVERYTHING else

It's not as if Championship football would hurt his international career either.

Anyway I'm only make this judgement based on the OP's statement. I don't think it will happen though.

Well I guess we will find out soon enough. He had no problems leaving us that's for sure.

I'd like to think your right but this doesn't work for me on a couple of levels with his price tag being one of them.

Yep, his part in all that seems to have been forgotten.

Anything over the value of £1.50 are being sold. Come on what is Joe earning in the Prem ? Tan won't pay that fee or the wages.
Silly season

I shall me meeting Chris Ledley on Sunday for a drink , maybe I should ask him then :) :) :)

Oooooooo it's going to go down! Sundays the day!!

I personally don't believe big Russ met with tan or is meeting tan to discuss signings of 500k. A football club needs its fans. Without a signing like this what's gonna bring the so called fans back?

Re: Joe Ledley Coming home for 5 mill

Tue May 19, 2015 8:56 am

Terry's article in the Wales on Line / Echo is way more realistic than anything read on here , lets be honest why would any player who is currently a 1st team selection at ANY club in the Premier League give it all up to play for Cardiff City at present ?

Re: Joe Ledley Coming home for 5 mill

Tue May 19, 2015 9:03 am

Can't see Tan spending 500k on 1 player this summer let alone 5 million.

how much is that going to cost with Ledley & Gayle leaving Palace for us? :lol:
