It's hilarious how people think we have missed out on Ledley. I remember the City fans giving him stick for a poor performance away to Barnsley and he was biting back at us. That's away to Barnsley, yet people think he could do a good job in the Premiership. Madness!

The club by club guide to transfers in the Guardian reckons only £450k for Ledley.

So just because he had a bad game at barnsley hes all of a sudden not prem material? What about the goal he scored against barnsley to send us in to the FA cup final? He doesn't deserve the stick he's getting on ere, He was great at Cardiff and its a good bit of business for palace, Celtic fans seem gutted he's gone anyway.

Not Premier League quality in my opinion. Palace are more than welcome to him as I don't think he would get in our midfield.

Ledley is better than Medel. People blinded by the SPL's rep and the way he left. Medel is a CM who doesn't understand the concept of attack. Any modern box to box player needs to know how to win the ball and play it and get forward like Mutch, Yaya, etc. Medel is a one trick pony - win the ball, pass it to the side. Ridiculous.

Ledley would have been ideal for us.

Medel is a defensive midfielder,like you said he wins the ball and passes it on,that's what a defensive midfielder supposed to do

A defensive midfielder is supposed to do more than that. Lucas, Toure, etc. they all win the ball and they all help out forward. Medel doesn't. Its just sideways or backwards all the time or long punt up field. We'd have been better off with Mutch and Ledley in there. Fletcher was a ball winner at United but also got forward.

Medel is an anchor man. Its how he was at Sevilla and thats why we signed him.

I think as he wont be relied upon to create anymore he will flourish in his proper role.

Time will tell

Disagree the reason why medel is struggling is down to the rest of our midfield,whitts who supposed to be our play maker,when medel wins the ball and passes it off his job his then done,who he passes it to let's him down

Nonsensical opinion. One poor game at Barnsley doesn't make a bad player. You should know.
