This could be almost a perfect fit for us. And he's still only 25. Only doubt for me is his recent injury record.

They can team up and chat while they're in physio.

Get him and Remy and we should be mostly there in terms of the squad. The back up options of Ledley and Mutch are simply not good enough. McCarthy should at least challenge Cabaye, McArthur and Puncheon for their starting positions. Not sure he has the creative qualities needed for an advanced position but he could help reduce the defensive workload of Cabaye.

Ain't nobody like Joe Ledley

Not good enough imo at least as our first option for a change in midfield. Doesn't tackle enough, slower than Jedinak, lets caught out by players that like to play in between the lines. He does have an eye for supporting the attack and finishing loose balls that come his way but that might get you 3 goals a season if he plays every game. It doesn't fill me with confidence that he's the next option if anyone gets injured, midfield is the area we are thinest in, especially as we generally play 3 there.

No thanks. Hes not the playmaker we need. Not much better than Boateng in my book

Not entirely sure why Everton are so keen to getrid (maybe Everton know something we don't) but on the face of it would be good competition for McArthur or Ledley? If the price for him does drop, then might be what passes these days for a PL bargain...

What is wrong with Joe Ledley? Brilliant in Euro 2016 (Wales reached the semifinal - England thrown out by mighty Iceland)), but not good enough for Palace?

Quite right. Much underrated, a real leader, and an important part of thevspine of the team, not to mention his dancing skills!

I'd play him with McArthur at DM and push Cabaye further forward!

I don't know how any of you could say no really. Fergie rated him and he's a very good tidy dm, a replacement for the loss of Jedi in this position. Years of prem experience and only 25. As much as I like ledley if pardew only sees him as a sub then bringing in McCarthy is good. Maybe move cabaye forwards ect, good all round squad improvement I think.

Hahaha he is no better than a teenager who has played 15 minutes of premier league football even though he has been a first teamer in the premiership for years.

Some people on this site make me chuckle
