Not sure if Id want him back to be honest. He has the ability to play at championship level obviously but dont think he is premiership quality has someone else posted, he only plays 4 competitive games a season. His attitude wasnt the best coming to the latter of his Cardiff career either.

He's not really shit is he. I think you are still a little upset cause he left us for a higher paid job.

The best way of telling how good a player was, is by the abuse shown to them when they leave. And on that score Joe is right up there.

Chris Gunter gets abused, was and still s crap.

I'm not going to join the crowd that says Ledley is shit because I don't think he is. I think some are upset because he left us for a better paid job and, especially when he was due to have a child, who can blame him. I know I would have done the same.

That said the side we have now is far better than when Joe left and if he were to rejoin he must be aware that he would have a fight on his hands to get into the first team. If he is up for that fight I would welcome him back. If he expects immediate first team football - then not so sure.

ledley seems to have done a better job at cardiff than he has at celtic unless it's against rangers where he has been good (apparantly) i would welcome him back but i'm not sure if he would be any good or not

Id have Ledly back any day, Kiss will be gone next season if we don't buy him, Ledly would be a Perfect replacement.

You see the pro-Ledley brigade are already wheeling out the propaganda. I am not mad that he left for a higher paid job, I am mad that he couldn't be arsed playing for the club that made him a professional footballer once we turned down the Stoke approach. Half of the time it was like playing with 10 men yet some of you seem to forget that.


In commenting on his performances, are you forgetting the hip injury he was carrying and how that impacted on his movement.

Re: NEW RUMOUR- GREAT IF WOULD HAPPEN

I can't believe there are some who don't want him.

Ledley is a superb player, box to box, give and go, marks his man, supports his defence links with the attack. He'd be a superb addition. Just what we need.

Re: NEW RUMOUR- GREAT IF WOULD HAPPEN

Are you all mad?? id take him back in a heartbeat hees is exactly malkys type of player and he was an outstanding player for us. Just a case of sour grapes for some...

Conway is shit.

Joe would fit nicely in a 3 man midfield. cant see it though on too much money.

i'd have Ledley back too but surely Kiss would be a cheaper option and he's younger


- i dont really like the bitch behaviour when a player movers on.
i think the anti-ledley would have been less if he tried the prem but the fact he went to Celtic for money really irritates.
but hey ho - he has to look after his family and money does talk :ayatollah:

I've never understood the fuss about Ledley! Yes he runs around a lot but just being able to run doesn't justify the hype that surrounds him. He has no pace, can't beat a man, has no creativity or vision, his passing is average, rarely scores and rarely puts in a tackle. He's a decent enough squad player but I wouldn't pay big money to bring him back, plus I have to agree with Midfield General, his last few months with us left a sour taste in my mouth! I can remember quite a few games where he really couldn't be arsed! Yes he played well in the play off final because he finally pulled his finger out but before that he was by and large anonymous!

Exactly and as for some fans saying he didn't work hard that is simply bollux!

You know NOTHING about the Ledley situation, actually you know as much about football as you do about politics.

Interesting comment from Joe..


"He told the Echo: “One day I’d love to return to Cardiff, but that would depend on who was in charge – and if City fans want me back"

Bit of dig at a certain ex-manager or that other fukwit whose name I can't be bothered to write perhaps?

I'd leave it up to MM to decide personally, he hasn't done too bad a job so far.

Take off the "In Malky we trust" spectacles.

Conway is utter dogs shit.

Re: NEW RUMOUR- GREAT IF WOULD HAPPEN

Is he better than :

Gunnerson - No
Cowie - Yes
Conway - Yes
Kiss - Yes
Whitts - No
Ralls - Don't know- too early

Makes sense, he would have had a chunky signing on fee, so could move down the pay scale. Would this be a permanent move or rest of the season loan ?
