    Going on that as meaning £7m could have been squeezed out of Pulis I remember asking Ridsdale why he didn't take the chance to sell Ledley for £7m and he didn't correct the figure as being wrong.

    This didn't happen.

    Ledley went to a pub league, hardly the best level. If he'd gone to the Prem would have had harder games week in, week out. He went for the money, nothing more, nothing less.

    Who was in for him at the time from the Premier League? (Genuine question, as from memory, I only remember Stoke being interested)

    Imagine striding past Messi after the full time whistle having beaten him at football, mind. Priceless memory for Joe surely.

    Some people don't appreciate what a good position we are actually in these days. Sadly.

    If it was just about money and he could have gone to the Premier League, don't you think he would have?

    I know a lot of Palace fans, live near there. They all rated him.

    I get that people are angry that he left for nothing - but if your options are:

    Champions League football and (likely) lots of silverware or (likely) struggling for a season in the Premier League under Phil Brown (and living in Hull), I can see why he chose the former.

    If a Premier League team with a higher pedigree had been interested then you would have to question his motives more (imo)

    "Ledley cost us millions" It's not your money, so don't worry about it. He left, got paid more, played for bigger and better clubs (remember we weren't in a very good state at the time he left) and he's gone on to be a stalwart for the national team. Good luck to him, I'd be more than happy to have him back.

    Agreed. I struggle to understand why people get so bothered over the money sloshing around the football club we support. Nevermind money spent a LONG time ago.

    I don't want him back because hes shit. Simple as

    Re: Ledley

    Wales online reporting Mutch said to definately be leaving to a championship side on loan. Burton Albion also said to be interested in him.

    Mutch or Ledley? Which one would you choose?
