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.
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.
Or you cheeky sod, you should know I'm better than that 
thats debatable mate

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'll just pivot around the centre of the pitch, he doesn't really need to run. It'll be great.
Plus the "risk" will be mitigated by the fact the very least he'll offer will be inspiring the youngsters, excite the fans and raise the profile of the club!

I'm a bit worried that he doesn't actually know who we are. Maybe someone showed him a picture of the team and he thinks he's signing for Barca?

He's was at the training ground today
As Danny Butterfield wheeled away, arms aloft in celebration of his third goal an expression of delight and astonishment on his face a man seated beside me in the stands turned to his young son and told him that he would remember this moment for the rest of his life. I will too.

With our new style of play, he could be forgiven in thinking we are Barcelona!

Ha ha I haven't been this excited about a thread since the P-Diddy one. Heart says sign him up. Head says let's save our money for a decent centre forward.
Verdict: Heart rules on this one

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.

Come on guys, he's 37, and contary to what "eritheagle" said hasn't played since April 2008, and played very few games in the 2007-8 season due to breaking a leg against Go Ahead Eagles in August 2007.
Was a fabulous player in his time, but not sure he has the legs now day's, but if he has would be a colossus in the middle of the park, he's also a very nice guy.
