Super Joe Ledley

reading the crystal palace message boards and they're all absolutely delighted, good luck to him time for callum mcgreggor to shine

 

Could very easily be Johansen.

 

watching the celtic training videos on youtube, biton actually looks like the player with the most technical ability in midfield, once he gets more confident, he'll be absolutely flying

 

I was thinking the same. There's now a lot of pressure on Johansen to be a success now.

 

In 5 words: Good player, wont be missed

 

He's dead to me

 

Thanks for the memories Joe. Good luck in the championship next year

 

JOE Ledley has spoken of his delight to sign for Crystal Palace and to finally work under boss Tony Pulis.
The Eagles manager tried to land the midfielder when he was at the Stoke City helm but it didn’t quite work out, but just minutes before the 11pm deadline last night, the paperwork was signed and sealed.
And he can’t wait to get started with his new team-mates either.
“It’s been a long day and night so I’m just glad to get it over and done with and look forward to the new challenge ahead,” said Ledley.
“I was at the training ground with Celtic and spoke to manager Neil Lennon and obviously I made my decision to come down and caught the next flight to come here in time.
“I had a fantastic time at Celtic with three-and-a-half years but my challenge now is to play in the Premier League, and I look forward to it.
“It’s every boy's dream and I’m just over the moon to get it done and I look forward to the challenge ahead.
“He (Pulis) has been brilliant. He tried to sign me before at Stoke City and it didn’t work.
“To finally work under him now, I’m looking forward to doing that and he’s a fantastic manager and he’s proved that at this level.”
Palace made a number of other signings on transfer deadline day and Ledley praised the club for their effort in bolstering the squad in a bid to avoid relegation.
“They have been brilliant with the guys they’ve brought in,” said the midfielder.
“I know Wayne Hennessey obviously from Wales and he’s a fantastic keeper. They have brought in some great players and I look forward now to playing with them.”
And Ledley looks set to be part of the first team squad for the next home game as his registration was completed after midday yesterday, which means he misses out on Sunday’s trip to the Emirates Stadium.
“It will be at against West Brom so I look forward to that, and also going into the game against Arsenal to watch the boys,” he said.

Good Luck Joe, hope to see you back at Paradise for Champions League nights

​

 

Good luck to him but going to Palace I hope he realises that he will never lift a trophy above his head again.

 

It was defo the right time to let him go rather than run down his contract.
According to twitter he was a good influence in the dressing room.

 

Maybe if they go down and get promoted again come to think of it :smiley-laughing002:

 

Disappointed to lose Ledley. Best of luck to him, he will need it at Palace.

 

Good luck to Joe and thanks for the memories. Crystal Palace *!

 

All the best Joe. He was an important player. Palace is a strange choice though. He didnt look ecstatic in his press conference.

 

Palace has a * wee ground and looks in dire straits.

I think he may be genuinely concerned for his career. Honestly don't know how he will do there and be made to look worse because of the players surrounding him.

His best bet would have been waiting until the Summer to get a better club, but obviously we wanted him gone, due to no new contract being signed.

 

All the best Joe. Fantastic player for us.

 

I'll miss him

 

he gave us the best years of his career, cant fault him at all, he could have easily ran his contract down

 

Wish he'd stayed but no point holding a player hostage,some great memories

 

Thanks for the memories Joe, especially against the dead club, oh how he loved putting them to the sword.

Good luck.
