    Arsenal wanted him 2-3 seasons ago. He's not looked as solid to me over the last few seasons, but then he's played in a team that can't be bothered to defend from the front.

    As soon as he left, it had a Pulis signing written all over it. In a team who'll defend in twos all over the park I'd bet he'll have a very good season if he stays fit.

    That's a top signing for them.

    Great signing for Palace. Grrrr.

    Signing players from a relegated team isn't something I'd consider as great...too much potential baggage...far better to sign players used to winning...
  • Very good signing this. He'll have a team that will defend from the front, and a manager who will make him feel welcome and like a world beater. Shame they've got a decent team again this season, can see them surviving.

    I like Hangeland, never had his head turned by any speculation and always gave his all for Fulham which is no mean feat considering how soulless the stadium and the atmosphere are. To be honest I don't really care who Palace sign; they're a league above us and don't affect us. If they go down I'll laugh but other than that I don't have the energy to worry about them

    It's not that black & white.

    Finished his football career, and gone into the circus.

    signed for Palace, great signing for them

    Crystal Palace have handed a one-year contract to former Fulham defender Brede Hangeland.

    @CPFC

    #CPFC are delighted to confirm the signing of central defender Brede Hangeland on a free transfer http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bt886HtIEAAMnc-.jpg

    Another sensible and shrewd signing from Palace.
    Hangeland is passed it. Trust me.
    I agree with you, that long shanks was looking well shakey at the back for Fulham. He was on the bench a lot also.

    would've been a great signing 4 years ago. But signing a 33 year old from a relegated team isn't exactly a great signing.

    sounds like he was disappointed how he was told and who could blame him

    Brede Hangeland has slammed Fulham after the club informed him of his release via email.
    I received such notification by e-mail with no representative from the club meeting with me at any point to discuss this matter. After six-and-a-half years of loyalty and hard work, and the last few years as captain, I am disappointed beyond words about this course of action.

    Imagine getting a email to say u was sacked and nothing else

    Felix Magath has just told Sky Sports he wanted Hangeland to stay and asked him to stay, which contradicts what Hangeland says, as you would expect.

    but in this case I am more inclined to think Hangeland is telling the truth as he still had a year left on his contract, so surely if the player wanted to leave you would sell him, but instead the released him, that to me tells me it was not Hangeland's decision
