I have my reservations but then we were interested in Baiccio who was also 35+ and with all due respect to him, Davids would be better.
This would only be short term and i'm sure the wages would be right - the new owners simply wouldn't Ok something ridiculous, so why not?!

I have had the pleasure to bump into Davids and his brother Ricardo in Turin near the hotel I stayed at back in 2002 whilst playing for Juventus and is a great guy who will always give 100% for any team he had played for. The Juventus fans love him to bits with his all action play and just seeing at Selhurst wearing the red and blue even at his age now would be a real coup for us.
Just glad its not April the 1st though.

Feel like a kid. Can't stop thinking about this possibility. Definitely reminds me of the Lombardo speculation/signing
I know we should be wary but God I'd love this to happen. If the wages really are reasonable, it could be worth it for shirt and ticket sales alone
...oh and we might even get on Sky now and then!

I reckon that someone's got the wrong end of the stick, with Anthony Edgar scoring for the West Ham scoring against Palace in the reserves today.

Bit worried about the fact he hasn't played professionally for some time, 37 seems a bit old, but if we're playing some youth around him, experience alongside pace, it could be a result. I'd imagine landing him in a coaching role further down the line would be more of a coup.
Might well be work out well alongside a fairly youthful squad, playing Davids and Garvin in a combined role could well pay off (then switching him out for N'Dayie later on).

What makes me laugh is, if someone just suggested this, a thousand of you would ripped that guy to shreds 'wages'. Get real' etc, but that initial link gagged em' all i guess.

Yeah, he does have glaucoma, hence the fairly iconic tinted glasses he plays in!

Exactly what i thought when I saw thread was that this was a naive Palace fan telling us how we should sign him and I was preparing to rip in to them as you said. Little did I know this would actually have fuel.

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.
I agree,,our standard is pretty high,,hope he can keep up
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.
Yawn zzzzzzzzz

If we get him signed up, there's going to be a few thousand extra Palace fans per game buying tickets.
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.

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????!!!
But if he was in his prime then he would have been worth millions which we couldnt afford, then or now. Hence us signing him now surely.

He's been training and keeping fit with Ajax over the last year or two apparently.
Would be a corking signing for a variety of reasons, aside from his undoubted talent on the pitch, his guidance for others off it would be bonza.
I'd love this to come off.

Also been doing that 5-aside tour, don't know how many people saw that on youtube. Granted its not 'proper' football (proper being 11-aside, full size pitches etc.) but it shows hes keeping fit and still very talented!
