On a free yes. Good squad needed.

Id have him back yes, How much has he improved? I guess we dont know as he's playing week in week out against shit teams.

He would play over Whits atm imo.

if he was good enough...YES....but not getting sentimental...... :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

He's already in talks to extend his current contract.

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 11:13 am

Definitely take him back especially on a free. On current form he'd be in the first 11.

Without a shadow of a doubt. :old:

If he was willing to be a squad player and brought Gary hooper with him!

Come on peeps. I appreciate that everyone has an opinion but ledley only works hard. No skill, no shot, no ability to tackle or beat a man. He was useless for us the last season and a half he was here. I still remember him getting beaten easily for England to score at wembley. Gutted that night. Before anyone says...yes, i do rememberhhis goal against barnsley, it was very good.

No thanks, he's not good enough for the premiership.

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 11:57 am

Would he add to the squad, probably yes. And a free .. why not

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:05 pm

I'd welcome him back on a free.

If his contract runs out in the summer if 2014 you'll be back in the Championship by then :mrgreen:

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Yes. Watched him play against Juve in the week and he did well.

We are missing his kind of player in the midfield at the moment.

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:41 pm

I expect better than ledley hes not premiership standard in MY opinion

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:15 pm

Soz, but I cannot forget the way he left. No matter what anyone says (about The Riddlers alledged part in it) Joe allowed himself to be easily swayed by his Agent. Both (Joe and Agent) had their own agenda and reasons for wanting out of Cardiff but didn't have/need to do it the way they did by leaving his HOMETOWN club with NOTHING in the way of compensation at a time when ANY money was desperately needed (remember, he stalled on a contract for a whole season to see which side the butter was put on the bread)

That aside, I honestly don't believe he would enhance the current squad and I would expect BETTER players for any assault in the Premiership

Put simply, it's a big NO from me (and the same would go for Gunter) :( :ayatollah:

* Obligatory not a Malky kind of player post*

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:41 pm

Not sure he's good enough. There wasn't much Premier interest 3 years ago and nothing has changed since. Hasn't proved himself much more than a Championship standard player yet. He took the money but possibly ruined his career. You can be sure that no side near the top of the Premier League is interested in him. We can do better.

(Same for Matthews btw)

Thats the way I saw it. Hence its a NO from me.

He had a chance to go to Premier but chose to Play in the Welsh ops I mean the Scotish Premier, not much difference to our WPL
therefore NO don't want him back. lacking ambition, and if he stayed with us for 1 year on a 1 year contract he could have gone anyway and we could have got a decent fee for him, plus with him, Bellers, Booth and Chops we would be in the Premier now :malky: :malky:

People can't get away from facts; no matter how they twist it to suit ;) :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:48 pm

Interesting thought, but the fact is, has Joe improved significantly as a player since he left us?
I don't know, as i haven't kept up to speed with him since his move to Celtic.
He scores the odd goal here & there, but as to a return, i'm not sure.

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 3:27 pm

I would definetly have him back but I wouldn't say to him that he'd start every game. But I also wouldn't want to waste our wage budget on him as we could get someone better.

:old: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 5:05 pm

He'd just be another squad player and an option. We have better, but we also have worse!

No he has no premier league experience the SPL is worse than the Championship, he should have gone to the premier league when he left us IMO

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 5:46 pm

shouldnt of left in the first place. :D

Re: " CONTRACT RUNS/WOULD YOU ? "

Sun Mar 10, 2013 6:39 pm

Never. He is a vastly overrated player.
