' Ledley Developments '

Tue Sep 01, 2015 11:34 am

Just heard from someone close to the Wales training camp that Ledley has been given permission to leave the camp to sort out a loan deal. No idea who the club is does anyone have any info ?

That's in the guardian says us and wba interested and if it's a permanent deal palace want 4.5 m

Heard that we are having him on loan

If permanent then we are out of the running.

WBA do have one domestic loan remaining so I wouldn't hold our breath if Ledley can still play in the Prem.

Joe Ledley has been granted permission to leave the Wales set-up to address his future: think he is likely to move on loan with a number of clubs, including West Bromwich Albion and Cardiff, having expressed an interest. Palace want £4.5m plus for Ledley to leave them on a permanent deal."
That's from the guardian

West Brom initially playing down link to Crystal Palace and Wales midfielder Joe Ledley but warn "anything is possible" with Tony Pulis.

Apparently Palace have said they don't want to loan him to another Prem team and therefore us and Derby are the front runners. Please don't take this as gospel though as I am certainly not someone who is normally "in the know" !!

Rob Phillips also said that Cardiff have played down links to Ledley too.

As said palace will only sell to premier club not loan him? And wba are not good at stumping up the cash! :laughing6:

Pulis has always been a fan of him. Id be astonished if its anywhere other than Hawthorns

Was it Pulis that signed Ledley for Palace from Celtic?

Re: ' Ledley Developments '

Sky reporting it's likely to be to us or Derby.

Sky have also said that he has left the wales camp as an earlier poster mentioned

So surely something is going on then, we have got to mean something to him haven't we ?

I am also thinking that west brom have got a lot of options in midfield with Morrison, Yacob, Fletcher, Brunt and Gardner so is Ledley guaranteed a first team place with all the other options for Tony Pulis ?

In all fairness its location location location. He is in Cardiff with Wales has until 6pm to travel, do medical and agree a deal. There is only one destination welcome back Joe!

Re: ' Ledley Developments '

Tue Sep 01, 2015 12:05 pm

If he drops to the championship it will be us but if he's sold it will be wba

Yes that would be most sensible but I wouldn't get too excited just yet as I think would try do whatever he can to stay in the prem, but i'm sure he has got us in his heart somewhere, here's hoping that he decides to come home.

Yes, I think it's either prem football or us, I don't believe joe will go anywhere else other than us if he can't get prem football.

Derby have just signed or are very close to signing midfielder Jacob Butterfield, how many more signings do these guys want? Don't think Palace will want a loan move to WBA, if slade isn't pushing this one through and finding any possible funds to get Ledley here than I would be very disheartened. If ledley joins Derby on loan I wouldn't be happy one bit

All this cloak and dagger,smoke and mirrors.
I don't think anyone knows what's going on . If we did have ledley on loan.
Where would you play him and who would you drop ?
Wherever he goes he'll want first team football guaranteed for his Welsh prospects especially now .

Just to give you update on ledley hearing that he has agree terms with #wba

Re: ' Ledley Developments '

Tue Sep 01, 2015 12:22 pm

News on twitter is that he is poised to sign for West Brom or that he has just finished training with Wales and returning to the team Hotel?

Literally have no idea whats going on

Re: ' Ledley Developments '

Tue Sep 01, 2015 12:23 pm

Just off twitter also is that Palace DO NOT want to loan Ledley to a prem club.

Re: ' Ledley Developments '

Tue Sep 01, 2015 12:25 pm

I personally think he will sign for WBA permanently, not in the know, just what I'm seeing on twitter in the last 10 mins
