Its not the 1st April. I guess I understand why he would want a move to the Championship. Can't see it happening though surely his wages would be too high.
Read the article. It says that he will not be after a huge amount of money, which is what has given us hope of signing him.

Amazing. I've always loved Super-Dav! So good to see him Twittering about Palace when we were in trouble a couple of months back too. He really wanted us to be safe and asked for updates from his followers.
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.

I think despite his advancing years, he'd still be able to hack it in the Championship. It's not like he's ever shied away from a physical confrontation in his game, and as others have said, his experience could be invaluable to all the youngsters who are now in and around the first team squad.

Would be very happy if true and affordable - mainly because I think it would be a huge positive for our youngsters to work alongside a player with his technique.
In some ways it seems ridiculous, but I think it is worth noting that we are lacking in numbers in terms of experience and also in terms of coaching staff if he is so inclined.
On his day he was an absolutely magnicficent player.

As long as he doesn't "do a Sol" and quit after two games when he realises the standard he's agreed to play at.
...we must expand...get more pupils...so that the knowledge will spread...

I think Johnny was saying that our level is not good and that Edgar may think that he can do better at 37.
You obviously think our level is high, so you actually "dis"agree.

Wether you think he's up to still playing football or not, there's still so many other positives if he does sign.
Think about it, attendances might get a little boost due to people wanting to come see a world footballing legend play, plus other players may want to join Palace to have a chance to play along side him, there so many positives if this is true.
Sign him up Burley!

There were rumours about Davids going to Leicester AND Portsmouth last season... I'll believe it if and when it happens.

He is a player I might have liked to have been signed 5 or 6 years ago in his prime, but now??? He's 37, he's not the quickest midfielder now and he's been out of football for two years...... is it really worth the risk????!!!
Red n' Blue through and through..........

Where's the risk if he's on a small wage and it's a short-term contract?

Could be a "pay as you play" deal. I think he'd be a great addition!

Even if the transfer isnt done by Saturday, a random chant of Super Edgar Davids may tip it in our favour lol..
