Absolute joke,this guy is over the hill,was unwanted by everyone and we take him on,on god knows how much money?reminds me of juniuno (or whatever his name was at middlesbro) couple years back,as youngster was good but when he returned was a liability,this Davids will be the same,would rather have us looking at younger players with potential than this 37 yr old veteran,he will be easy to by pass and keeping much better players out..GUTTED !!!

I don't know if this has been said already but we have to give a massive hand to GB, the background staff and the chairmen for making this deal happen. To get Edgar Davids on Palace's book is amazing regardless of his age. PLUS.. these two other strikers we have loaned today.
It couldn't be more exciting being a palace fan at the moment.

Okay, so I've been on holiday for the past two weeks, no internet connection, got the odd text from my brother with the palace scores, come back and we've signed Edgar bleedin' Davids????
Just to clarify to those who, either are sceptical, or are just as stupefied as I....
EDGAR DAVIDS, WINNER OF A EUROPEAN CUP AND COUNTLESS OTHER TOP ACCOLADES IN EUROPE, IS PLAYING FOR CRYSTAL PALACE!!!!!!!!!
...and it's on meagre wages and he says he just wants to enjoy it, you think you understand Palace and then they throw in the curveball!

Absolutely awesome news.
For the first time in my life I'm going to get a shirt with a players name on the back.
Davids in the sash will be one of the iconic pics of our renaissance under CPFC2010 and GB. I'm frothing already to see him in a Palace shirt.
too far gone.. aint no way back

my feelings too. However, I'm willing to be proven wrong. And Davids is a fantastic marketing tool.
And can i add some further points.
1) Abusing other posters on the boards is a cardable offence. We all have opinions, you cvnts
2) You are all cvnts
3) See y'all tomorrow for a punch-up at the Whitehorse
4) "Questions for Brighton Fans" (Away section) should have gone GOLD weeks ago, not this sheety thread

But seriously, how can anyone say they are "gutted" after we sign an icon of football, on a pay as you play basis?
Name me another Palace player who has featured recently in Nike adverts?
Every away team player will be after his shirt, name me the last palace player who was asked for his shirt at the end of a game??
some people are just so negative, bask in the joy of something good and exciting happening to our non fashionable and humble club!
I for one is bloody over the moon!!
Just when I thought that I was out...........they pull me back in

 He might be retired again by then! If we've got advertising bods running us now hopefully they'll of anticipated demand and manage stocks accordingly.

Still seriously pissed from the oval todday, so I will keep it brief. Having just watched the video on Palace player and hearing Davids talking about Wright and Bright and that the move came about from him being messaged on Twitter when we were in admin - and also George Burley's comments on the club, I could not be happier right now.
Davids is a true modern day footballing icon and if he is even 50% of the player he was, he will still be the best player in this division.
I am sure a fair few people will be at the game on Saturday who wouldn't have been - and that is fine. Some people need a prompt.
I'm feeling very positive indeed.
