I have a feeling that Pardew marked Jedi's card after that elbow against West Ham, just after his return from international duty.

Yes he's been an asset to the club, but after seeing the quality and workrate yesterday of our McCabpunch midfield, he's not going to feature unless there's an injury.

Ledley, on the other hand, would be the first choice genuine midfield sub / rotation option and I wouldn't be in a hurry to sell unless he's made it clear he wants to be playing every week.
