We've played the last couple of seasons with a holding midfielder with no legs, so why not? Not knocking Derry - loved what he did for us - but the holding position is the least demanding in terms of energy.
Think this would be ideal on so many levels - and i've never seen a player play with glasses on since i was in primary school

This is madness..!!!Edgar Davids(cough)!!listen up Palace people if this is true OMG...i dont care about his age this guy has lived and breathed football for years AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL there is no way a man of his calibre is gonna want to ruin his hard earned rep...if hes serious..hes serious,mr burley and 2010 aint messing with your money thats for sure...cause if they pull this off along with a prem striker on loan after the 25 man cut off..then palace are gonna cause some serious problems.this could potentially be as big as bellamy at cardiff...ps doubters...just remember during pre-season everyone was impressed by a relative unknown in the italian David Biaccio(spelling not sure)at 35 so why not DAVIDS...beggars belief really!!!

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!
And more Palace shirts being sold and loads of people getting "Davids" on the back of their shirts!

This would be an incredible signing for the club not only as a player but with the wealth of experience he has would be inspirational to the whole of squad,especially the younger players.
It does sound too good to be true!!
However,in the Mail article it says he has had talks with Burley and is mulling over the offer and is expected to give the South London Club a decision in the next few days.
Burley has moved quick to land the holding midfield.
So it's no wind up then,as I first thought,and we may not have to wait too long for his decision.
Boy I hope this happens!

The only mention of this story on Sky Sports is on their rumour section.
"4:04 Football Editor: According to reports in the South London Press, Crystal Palace are set to sign veteran Dutch midfielder Edgar Davids."
No doubt they will be keeping their eye on this!

South london press says he is set to sign! Insane. Then again SLP said that about Tony Capaldi....
Capaldi was set to sign. A mystery "contractual problem" came up after his medical. Not that I am at all suggesting his knees failed his medical.

And makes out the P Diddy rumours were unsubstantiated, although it has since been proved that really was a thin but concrete substance to that one, is this guy from Findus?

This story is 100% true.
Two reliable posters on the BBS (Clapham Grand and Sandown Eagle) have both confirmed we are trying to sign Davids. 2010 are unhappy the story has been leaked to the press.

I expect they are! I'd imagine that it's a lot harder to get a deal done when the story breaks prematurely.

Not only that, people like Warnock may try and beat us to the signature!
