Crystal Palace centre-half Danny Gabbidon has revealed that he had offers from the Blues and Nottingham Forest before deciding to join the Eagles last month. The 33-year-old, who was released by QPR in May, says he’s enjoying life at Selhurst Park and made the right decision.
Welsh international Gabbidon, who is yet to make his Palace debut, told the Croydon Advertiser: "I wanted to go somewhere I could enjoy myself with a good bunch of lads, enjoy my football again and work with a good manager.
"I had offers from Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest, who wanted me to go up and train with them, but it just didn't seem right with Forest as I wasn't sure they were totally committed and interested in me really.
"I worked with [Palace assistant manager] Lennie Lawrence when I was at Cardiff and Dougie [Freedman] is young, fresh and has good ideas.
"And I like the way they both complement each other, so I think Palace was the best option for me all round. I think I've made a good decision and I've really enjoyed my time at the club so far."
