" Jordan Mutch "

Mon Jan 16, 2017 4:07 pm

A group of Championship clubs are reportedly tracking Jordan Mutch, with Crystal Palace apparently ready to offload the out-of-favour former Cardiff City man.

Could the Bluebirds swoop to bring the midfielder back to South Wales? He was excellent in his first stint with Cardiff.

Probably our best player in the Premiership - and probably gave us our best moment at Fulham.

When he is good he is brilliant, when he's bad it's probably because he is not fit. From memory, he often wasn't.

Probably used the word probably too much there...

I would be amazed. I would put our chances of signing him at 0.1%.

Lol, just my opinion mate but I don't think we have a hope in hell if signing the likes of Mutch or Campbell whilst in a Relegation battle. Some of the players we have been 'rumoured' to be linked with at the moment are well out of our league I think.

Cant see anyone of any decent quality from the League aboce being enticed here, even more so with us apparantly 'getting our house in order' so not paying silly money on wages and contracts anymore.

I think we will be buying sideways or below for the forseable future.

I'm just waiting for the other thread saying were in for Frazier Cambell again. :lol:

He was being touted at 2.5m not long ago. Well out of our price range I'm afraid. He's quality but he's a sick note anyway!

Would he walk straight in this team I don't think so.

Dint think he is a Warnock type of signing, pretty sure he won't come here this time......

Re: " Jordan Mutch "

he has played 39 games since he left us. (whitts 106)

I hope we don't go anywhere near him.

We need to find these players again, not buy ready made

Only played 39 appearance because he's not good enough to get in the side,not sure how many games he's missed due to injury

Just my opinion of course but for me a fully fit Jordon Mutch would get in our team ahead of Whitts or Ralls every game.

If Jordan Mutch is anything like he was during our Premier season he would be a huge signing for us. As much as I rave over Gunnar, Mutch and Medel were our 2 Premiership quality midfielders and Mutch was a big influence for us. If we could have backed up these two, Campbell and Caulker with better quality we might still be in the Premier today.

However, the one downside with Mutch is that he is prone to injury, and of course by now he may be nothing like the player he once was.

You've clearly not seen a lot of him recently then. The guy makes ZERO impact. I don't even know if he's scored a goal since he moved to Palace?

End of the day, whilst is started our PL season strong and gave us flashes of magic throughout, everyone seems to have forgotten just how often he went missing in games. Don't get me wrong, he scored some great goals for us that year, but let's not pretend he was a superb all rounder for us, 'cos he wasn't.

I don't know why everyone thinks Mutch is out of range, he hardly plays and there are better in his position at Palace - I don't think he's developed since he moved. I think he'd be obtainable however I think it's a bad idea to take back a player you once had especially when he hasn't progressed

You're right - I haven't seen much of him so recently but it would appear that you have, as you have stated that he makes zero impact. Do you go to the Palace games or are you basing what you say on what you see on the TV highlights? I'm not sure anyone has seen a lot of him recently as he doesn't seem to play a lot.

Now you could argue that he's not good enough to get into a struggling Palace team regularly and that would be a fair point but, like Fraiser Campbell, in my opinion he could do a very decent job at Championship level.

I don't recall him going missing that often in the Premier League to be honest but of course we all see the game very differently!

The reason people think he is out of range mate is simple.

If he was made available for transfer or loan it is highly unlikely we would be able to compete with the types of Clubs that would be in for him, Villa and Celtic being two. I would also be surprised if he would even entertain coming back here.

We are Championship Relegation contending cannon fodder at the moment with no signs to say we are likely to be competing with the best teams in the division any time soon.

Seems a little defeatist -

Why would Celtic or Villa or that calibre of team be Certs to sign him?

If they have better or can't guarantee him football why would you go? He's 24 he needs to start games...

Even if he didn't want to come here there are 6 points between us and 12th hardly cannon fodder really.
As the say Rome wasn't built in a day and a new manager needs time and investment to create a vision that will attract players. Coupled with the fact that our manager actually has a fair bit of a good reputation anyway that in itself could be enough to sign a player you deem "unobtainable" as appose to Trolls who had no clout about him.

Football isn't as black and white as suggestions make it, there are all sorts of colours and shades that can pop up from anywhere

:lol: Not defeatist - pure realism.

You realize how Football works right? You won't find many players looking to take a massive drop in wages and drop down a division to play for a Relegation threatened side.

He's on £30k a week and got 2 and a half years to run on his contract, we cannot compete with that, you understand that right? Palace are also looking for £2.5 Million for him, we don't spend money like that on players anymore, you get that aswell yeah?

Aston Villa and Celtic are just two of the Clubs linked with him, if you think we can compete with either of them at this very moment in time you are living in cloud cuckoo land.

He's out of our League fella, that's just the way it is at the moment I'm afraid.

I just find it a little intriguing how well you think you know the ins and outs of his financial package and sale value -

Where's your proof he's on that money?
Who has told you at CPFC that they want £2.5million?

I completely understand football I also understand media infatuation of over egging to get coverage.

I also know that the majority of bench warming players from clubs 10 down in the EPL would have very few in earning 30k a week at a club. People also seem to think a wage is £xxk per week and that's it - well that's purely not the case you have players who's wage is made up on all sorts of add ons and what ifs - fact

Now realistically "mate/fella" if a club can pay £20k as quoted by media for a player of the stature of Manga then I'm sure that a player like Mutch who is no better a player would also be obtainable...

If you do a bit of research as I have done you will find all the information you have asked me in numerous articles online.

I can't even be arsed to argue the toss over it, Jordan Mutch is not on our radar, we can't afford the transfer fee, wages or compete with the caliber of his current suitors.

Keep Dreaming :thumbup:
