A mate of mine from London Town, who has a season ticket at Palace, says that written into the deal with Celtic, is that:-

1) If Palace stay up, we get an extra £2.5M

AND

2) If Palace go down, we have first option on him, for the price that they paid in January

Anybody else heard anything about this?

Would we want Ledley back? He wanted to leave a CL team, to play in the relegation fight in the PL. Well Joe, hope you will enjoy watching us in the CL while your happy being in a mid-table English championship team.

Joe Ledley is of premier league quality IMO so based on that I would say any player with that quality would be welcomed back. Champions league is certainly a big thing to be involved in but the day to day vigours of playing in the Scottish league isn't as prestigious as the English so you can't blame Ledley Hooper Wanyama for wanting a shot at it and I think most would welcome any of those players back at Celtic if such a deal was brokered for any one of them.

@jollygreengiant how do u know he wanted to leave for crystal palace? Has he said anything to that affect?

Contract dispute with board, was length on offer. He wanted to stay till end of 2014/15 season, but board wanted him to sign a longer term contract.

Crystal Palace were the only team in for him, we were going to lose him in summer for nothing so I can see why he was sold in january.

You are quick to jump the gun and overlook a major factor in this situation- he could of rejected crystal palace, left for nothing at end of season to whatever team. At least we got a fee for him.

Anyway I don't fault the bhoy for having ambitions and not wanting to sign the longer terms contract. Scottish football is getting worse. You mentioned championship, reality is that league is a far superior league

You beat your own argument.
If he didn't want to go to Palace then he wouldn't have went. You're right, he could have stayed and went for nothing in the summer but he chose to go in January. And he went to Palace because he wanted to.
Think about what you're posting before making a tool of yourself! lol lol

Hail Hail

@chrisbhoy he did not have a choice. Was told when he reported for training that bid was accepted. Actually respect the bhoy was going in january and ensuring celtic got a fee, when i'm sure in the summer he could of went to teams on a par with say everton.

Think about what i'm posting? Bit rich coming from you judging by the pish you post f*d

Heard it was more is wife being home sick than him wanting to leave, great player in my eyes.Celtic should have paid for these type of players not to leave!

Ed don't usually comment on these kind of rumours but there is a clause on ledleys contract that if they stay up celtic will get 1.5 m! I heard that from frank mcavennie I have played in a good few charity matches with him as he is my best mates friend he didn't say anything about the buy back part though don't really see him coming back anyway do you?

Why leave to come back 6 month later? He ain't coming back ever!

DN30
What do you mean he didn't have a choice? Of course he had a choice. He was offered a new contract and he said no. The offer was only accepted because he chose not to sign it. If Ledley had signed then no offer would have been accepted in the first place. Can you not compute that logic in your brain?

Hail Hail

@chrisbhoy 10/10 for stating the obvious! You have just agreed with what I said in original post, regards contract. Thought I had already covered fact he was offered contract and chose not to sign it?

He was told with regards to crystal palace bid, club would rather he left january rather than summer.

How do you know no offer would of been accepted if he signed a new contract? Has this never happened at any club before, where a player signs a new contract and shortly later a bid is accepted? Every player has a price, are you really that thick you can't understand that?

Chrisbhoy are you not the one who sticks up for sammi all the time he's done the opposite of Ledley

Hoopybhoy, no you've got the wrong person. I am not Sammy's biggest fan. What has that got to do with this thread anyway? Run along, there's a good boy.
DN30, there's no point trying to reason with you because you clearly don't have the required intelligence but I shall continue to point out your mistakes and stupidity as I see it as a great source of amusement. It sure is fun to see someone make a clown of themselves and no-one does it better than you lol
How's the Sevco page, by the way? Are you still a frequent visitor? You know, like the time you commented that if I wanted to ask Ed a question about them I should go onto their site? And guess who was found playing with the enemy just a couple of hours later? Yip that's right. YOU! lol lol
I'm sure if I were to have a look on their site I'd find posts from you as usual. You just can't stay away from them, can you? lol

Hail Hail

@chrisbhoy you are clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed. You do not have a clue what you are talking about, that's why you can't back your statement up and are changing the subject.

So what if I have posted on their page? I think you will find anytime I have done that, it is in retaliation to @johncass trying to wind people up on this page. I don't post anything about that mob on this page unlike the obsession YOU have. Sevco this, sevco that is all we hear from @chrisbhoy. Oh sorry! Sammi as well (dont know what drill is there, bit weird).

You have nothing constructive to say and it seems to be a regular occurrence you getting shot down in flames. I look forward to many laughs to come at your ridiculous statements.

Chrisbhoy, u don't make any sense, like most of yer posts. Mind boggling gash

Whats the relevance to thread if someone posts on sevco? At least its on their page and we are not subjected to gash u post aboot them on this! Dn30, I would of dun the same.

Hee hee hee
DN30, winding you up is like shooting fish in a barrel. I didn't think it would be so easy lol
Chill out, have a break from your stress and go hang out with them over on your favourite page! lol

Hail Hail

KP1888
I'm entitled to my opinion and I don't need your permission to give it so wind yer neck in chum!

Hail Hail

@chrisbhoy explain how u are winding me up? Since when did providing a response become "winding up"? If anyone is wound up, its you. Your trying to save face, but making an a*se of it

Chrisbhoy

Aye, aye princess. It looks like its you who's getting wound up.

DN30
You stated Ledley had no choice. I said he had. He could have signed the contract and then there wouldn't have been a transfer as the club made it clear they wanted him to stay. They weren't planning on getting him to sign a contract and then sell him. That may have happened to other players at other clubs in the past but Lennon wanted him to stay. That has been my point all along so what part of that simple logic can't you understand?

Hail Hail
Hail Hail

Chrisbhoy you have clearly misread my post. Fairly straight forward that a contract is a choice, however if you took time to read post you would of realised the choice I was talking about was leaving in january and not the summer. This was due to pressure put on him as club didn't want to not get any fee for him.

I never said once that was the plan to get him to sign a contract then sell him. YOU said if ledley had signed contract, no bid would of been accepted and I replied by asking how do you know that no bid would of been accepted? Basically you were ridiculously implying that just because in the case he did sign, other clubs would be put off bidding which is total nonsense. Happens all the time in football.

I can't understand what you say, cause there is no logic to what your saying

I give up trying to make sense of your nonsense.
For the last time.
You said he didn't have a choice and he was told a bid had been accepted and he had to go.
I said he DID have a choice.
He could have CHOSEN to sign a contract and stay.
He CHOSE not to sign a contract.
He CHOSE to go to Palace.
He CHOSE to accept their offer.
Palace might not have been his preference but he CHOSE to go anyway.
In summary, he REJECTED our offer and CHOSE to go even after Celtic made it clear to him, the fans and the footballing world that they wanted him to stay.
And you maintain in your earlier post that he didn't have a choice?

End of. Your bollox is not worth another reply.

Hail Hail

Chrisbhoy you have got to be taking the p*ss. Surely nobody can be that dense!

You have just confirmed everything I said regards contract. You really are a clown

Still no answer to questions put to you.

Absolute and utter bull per usual from you

The two of you are embarrassing to most of us by carrying on like this. I thought the celtic family prided it's self on being exactly that and for having more class than you know who.

@wtbhoy see if you don't like debates, stay off site. that's the purpose of this site, to discuss matters relating to celtic and not everyone is going to agree on what's being said.

Here we go with celtic family p*sh.Love how so called super supporters like you bring this up whenever they don't agree with what's being said. Its fans like you who are running this club into ground and are happy to potter along with a sub-standard team in a poor league.

The only embarrassment "to the celtic family" is you. Now jog on

DN30, I've told you before, control our temper! lol
wtbhoy has a valid point (although I know he was directing it mostly at you!)lol lol

Chrisbhoy, if he doesn't like what being said he should stay out of it. End of the day you have your opinion, I have mine. Its the purpose of this page to discuss celtic related matters.
