Just confirmed on SSN also.
Hope he turns out to be completely out of his depth and Celtic fan hate him, money grabbing twat.

He shouldn't be out of his depth at Celtic, as Baardiff are a mid-table/top of the table Championship side, and Celtic are the footballing equivalent of a lower/mid-table Championship side.
Methinks he'd find it trickier in the Premier League (English) than up there in the Mickey Mouse Premier league.

Thank God that is done. I don't mind to be honest we missed out and am not bitter against the lad. He is not the first and won't be the last player to turn down SCFC, lets get over it and move on!

Silly boy.
Still, the thought of Cardiff getting about £250k compensation for a player they turned down £6 million for is a pretty good start to the week! ;D

He's hoping he flops in Haggis land.

Well done Joe for chosing to play in a league that has less quality than the one you've just left. Enjoy your ONE maybe TWO games in Europe and all the self-indulgent home games. At least you've got all the glamour fixtures to look forward to like Caledonian Thistle away.
None of it is 'sour grapes' as I didn't particularly want us to sign him. Just the factual footballing realities of the choice he's made.

I don’t think anyone is “out of their depth” in the Scottish league.
Sutton, Thompson, Wallace et al all were pretty shit in the Prem and were superstars in that shower of shyte league. Marco Negri once scored 94 goals in one season I think.
My Nan would probably be a “20 a season” striker.

“I want to come here and win trophies."
“Hopefully we can win the league and cups and it gives me the opportunity to play in Europe too.”
Winning trophies and the league in a 2 horse race - whooppeee!
Maybe he didn't fancy sitting on our bench for long periods as I'm not convinced he would have been a regular first 11 player next season in centre-mid (well I hope we can sign better players than him) and Etherington would be hard to shift on the left.

Thank God for that
If we never see the name 'Ledley' on this board again, it'll be too soon.

As has been said a few times, the SPL's top scorer has just left the 'mighty' Rangers to join Middlesbrough in the Championship. Sort of tells you all you need to know doesn't it.
Good choice Joe!

Celtic are about his level tbh. I would have quite liked him at Stoke, but he is certainly unproven at any decent level, which is why Celtic are about his level ;D

Well done Stoke he was worth no more than the deal offered. This is why we're a well run club, move on to the next one.

Not a massive loss , would like us to go back for Whittingham to be honest, we need some goals from midfield and he got 20 last season for them , also good delivery from a dead ball

Why were no other Premier sides interested in him?
That says it all for me. Not upset at missing out on him at all.

Oh dear. I think that he may have destroyed his career there. Such a shame for a promising talent but I think he bottled a move to the Prem.

They will get compensation for his training and development; no doubt Celtic will argue that he really hasn't developed at all seeming as he will now be playing at a lower level than he was in the Championship. After all, 'he'll be playing in a Premier League, just the wrong one' :-)

Good luck to him
If he's a success in the SPL he can move to the Premiership in a year or 2.

bayern will be gutted
i think one day ledley will regret this, he is in a no win situation
if he turns out shit - no prem move ever
if he turns out good - will prem teams take a chance on a 28 year old only proven in ccc and spl
a very bad career move
