Fuzzar 1,701 Posted January 29, 2016 Suggestions we''re interested. Could do worse as a replacement if Mulumbu were to leave. Strikes a good dead ball and is ostensibly a DM. Wasn''t overly impressed with his powder puff challenge before Dele Alli''s goal, but think he''s a decent, seasoned pro if the money was right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 29, 2016 Would love him, said at the beginning of the season if he was available Norwich should sign him. Probably as good a defensive midfielder available to Norwich as anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted January 29, 2016 "Jedi" is a Palace legend, but fans there acknowledge he is now past his best in relation to where they are as a club. Guess hes the type of player who indeed could do a great short term job here if Mulumbu moves. But at 31 cant see him being any use as longer term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicko 0 Posted January 29, 2016 No thanks. Don''t really see him as an upgrade on anything we currently have. Seems quite limited as well. Would rather one of the other chaps they have in CM - McArthur or Ledley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 29, 2016 Norwich aren''t really in the position to sign first team players from Palace at the moment - a reflection of their rapid rise and Norwich''s steady progress.I''d say Jedinak is a better player than Mulumbu and as good as Tettey, if not a bit better. He is a great defensive screen but also has a good rage in passing.Defensive midfielders have a slightly longer life span than many other positions, especially if just being asked to hold the area in front of the defence, so his age isn''t a huge worry for me. I reckon he has at least a season or two left in him and would certainly provide the experience and leadership that many people have been calling out for.

I''d say it''s less to do with them being first team and more to do with how the club feel and how the player feels. And what the offer is. No player is really off limits. Shelvey is a good example of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[:D]Quite agree, though, Bethnal – every time I''ve seen Jedinak play he seems to be the heartbeat of the side. Big, big presence, work-rate, tackling and distribution – if Mulumbu is leaving, this seems like a definite upgrade, as despite the positivity surrounding Mulumbu when he signed, for one reason or another it really hasn''t worked out for him here.

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 29, 2016 Pardew has told Jedinak he is not first choice any more and doesn''t particularly suit his system. That is why the rumours around him are circulating - also as he has 18 months left on his contract and no renewal is likely, Palace want to cash in while they can.Are players like McCarthy and Ledley going to want to swap top half of the table, pretty much guaranteed Premier League football next season for a relegation scrap? No way. Are Palace likely to sell first team regulars to another Premier League team for a price that Norwich could realistically afford? No way.Shelvey is a completely different situation - he had completely fallen out with the club owners and manager and there was no way back from that. He basically downed tools and made it clear he wanted to leave. I still think Swansea are mad to sell him in January when it could have waited until the summer and it might come back to haunt them.

Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted January 29, 2016 What price for a bit of leadership on the pitch? Many fans bemoan the fact Norwich appear devoid of one since Grant Holt left. Looking short-term at the next 14 games, Jedinak could prove to be an inspirational signing - and being Australian he''s already familiar with playing in yellow!Along with Naismith, Jedinak seems to epitomise the ''hard work'' ethic AN demands...

King Klose 0 Posted January 29, 2016 To me he''s just what we need. Someone who will sit infront of the back 4, put out the fires and essentially kick anyone who goes near our goal. Not pretty but its needed, especially in our situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 29, 2016 Ideal signing. So what if he''s 31, we can worry about next season when we get there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
