Fri Jan 04, 2019 12:36 pm

Jordan Mutch has been released by Palace.

Vancouver had option to purchase but they did not take up that option.

Former Cardiff player is now looking for a new club.

Is he PL level?
Was decent for us last time but his career has stalled and has had lots of injuries.

Would be a waste of space in the squad imo.

Never really got the chance at Palace, I’d take him back as a cover option if his fitness is a doubt... but then again it would be dead wages again and we have enough of that at the moment

I feel he isnt lesser than what he was last time.
he hasnt improved thats for sure...


His Loan was in Vancouver from Palace where he was never given a chance to be fair..

personally id take him over Tomlin and Damour...

Crystal Palace release reported Cardiff target Jordon Mutch
By Danny Owen

Jordon Mutch has been linked with a return to Cardiff City - now Premier League rivals Crystal Palace have let him go.


Jordon Mutch might have seen his career stall badly over the last few years but he still has plenty of admirers in South Wales.

According to Sky Sports, Cardiff City are keen to re-sign Mutch in the January transfer window, four-and-a-half years after he left for QPR in a £6 million deal (BBC).

The 27-year-old midfielder enjoyed the best season of his career in Cardiff colours in the 2013/14 season despite The Bluebirds suffering relegation from the Premier League at the first time of asking. Mutch netted seven often spectacular goals from the centre of the park, earning some rather ambitious comparisons with a certain Yaya Toure.


And Cardiff’s hopes of bringing Mutch home have now been given a massive boost.

Because Crystal Palace have taken the decision to release the former England U21 international on Friday, as reported by the club’s official website.

This will come as little surprise to Palace fans who have seen Mutch play just 40 games in four years. The Derby-born midfielder had spent the last few months on loan at MLS outfit Vancouver Whitecaps.


So if Cardiff really want to link up with Mutch again, they won’t even have to spend a penny.

No thanks, past their best. Might find a Championship club but can’t see him making a PL side.

Agreed he's dropped below our level, I think a good Championship club should be his next step.

I liked mutch. We did well to get good transfer fees on mutch and caulker

Not a good idea to bring him back.

Nope jumped off the ship went it was sinking so now we can watch him drown.

If Warnock is even considering him then we need a new manager, would be a shocking move

Re: FORMER £6M RATED TARGET MUTCH RELEASED BY CRYSTAL PALACE

Was also on loan at Reading where again he was average at best

I really hope not!!

If this is the type of signing we are now seriously considering then our January transfer intent is even more disappointing that I suspected it would be and perhaps explains why several players who could have done a job for us (and that we were apparently interested in) have today been snapped up by other clubs, e.g. Defoe, Clyne, Kamara.

Absolutely right, as its not a free so much as finding a place for him in the 25 :thumbup:

I would offer him the opportunity to train with us, and prove his worth, and if he does then we can offer him a contract towards the end of the transfer window.

This would also allow us to concentrate on "filling our 25 spaces" with players we need.

Sound idea, Paul :thumbright:

Maybe the manager would like a 'try before you buy' scenario...and at least we'd know if Mutch still has it :ayatollah:

As hes been released that would be a sound idea

Couldn't hurt to take a look at him, but I don't think he's a player we need right now + I don't think he's the same player he was 4-5 years ago. A shame how his career has gone as he was a cracking good player for us in the prem.

Give him a 6 month deal
Pay as you play and see his ability and fitness levels.

If hes not upto scratch then let him go

Im sure he will want more than that though

Re: FORMER £6M RATED TARGET MUTCH RELEASED BY CRYSTAL PALACE

Dont think are missing much lol! but pay as you play sounds a good idea

Scored 1 goal in British football since he left us
1 assist

Can't believe how many people on here saying give him a go. :banghead: we need to go forward not backwards.

I find it odd the way people remember past players sometimes, all recent form and age goes out the window. I'd rather boothroyd back.

If we’re going down the road of former players coming back then it’s got to be Robbie Fowler
