This is up there with the P Diddy rumour.
Supposedly the P Diddy rumor was true. He just didn't want to buy the club.

I thought that the truth was that he heard about the rumour, found it amusing and said he would be interested in helping the club, so long as it didn't involve any time, money or general imposition on his life.
Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

I believe that this guy would easily be a better signing than either Bellamy or James in the Championship as he has got so much experience to his name playing for some fantastic clubs in his time including Inter! Also, he has many world cups to his name and is known better than Bellamy of James around the world so I think we will have done extremelly well if we can actually pull this one off  keep the good work up GB!

This is a no brainer. We will sell more season tickets, match day tickets, shirts, programmes, etc, etc. He will help the youngsters and probably help see players like speroni sign his future to crystal palace. Hope this happens. I see wikipedia has updated Edgars page.

Diddy's take on the story is here. He was interested, but the business wasn't right for him.

It was my dream to play for Palace and to make my debut. I've always played for the club so if I'm playing here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Ok so he may be old, be according to sky sports, we are going to sign him!! I no this should be in the transfer section, but or well. I do remember Davids talking about Palace a few months ago and about how he was glad we survied.
So what does everyone think if this happens?

Is this a masterstroke in terms of publicity or can he really find some good form for the coming season after 2 years out of the game? His combative style in midfield is something we've lacked since Michael Hughes left.
My mate is taking the piss and calling this a stunt signing. I hope it happens.

Some respected posters on the BBS have confirmed that this story does indeed have some credence and that Palace have offered Davids a pay as you play deal and are waiting for his reply as the offer is on the table.
Money will not be the driving force behind his decision apparently as he is keen to play again in London and has taken an interest in Palace following our administration and at the time of our darkest days wished us well via his Twitter page.
I would welcome such a famous player to join our great club as he could really influence our other players and already this rumour has got the club buzzing.

To people saying hes lost his knees, hes 37, scholes is 35 and still playing some of his best football in his career at the moment. Of course you cant perfectly compare, with scholes playing constantly and davids having two years off. But i guess it just shows that the older players can still cut it, even in the premier league.

Its one way to p*ss QPR off anyway, their fans wanting all these big players and after the months of abuse from some of their fans we go and trump them with this signing, just brilliant. All that money and the best they can muster is Adel Tarrabt or Paddy Kenny.
Obviously this is not the reason I want him signed but its a perk, Im just hoping the club shop sell the novelty glasses and dreadlock wig, plus I can finally get a football shirt with my name on it

Makes Davide Baiocco look like a young whippersnapper! If Davids keeps himself fit there is no reason why he can't do a job for us. I still rate Ryan Giggs and he is approaching 50!
