Jermain Defoe (no longer a rumour)

[stevie-wonder]

U23s striker coach at Villa I reckon, summit like that.

Age has nowt to do with it, he's still a class act and would smash league 1....!! Perfect partner for Rossco......

Crikey. Imagine thinking that age has nothing to do with performance in professional sport.

Might see if my Auntie Ethel fancies the next Olympics volley ball GB team, she's only 84, should be fine.

 

[Wild Card]

He could be 49 and have had one of his legs removed and he would still be deadly at this level

This, not to mention the impact he had with the younger strikers, especially Maja. He was a different player after spending time with Defoe.

Can’t see it but it’s strange nick barnes mentioned his name to speakman when it wasn’t even a rumour at the time and now he’s leaving. Would love it to happen personally. Being 39 is irrelevant when you’re so naturally gifted and playing in a shocking league.

 

[The Rat]

He's 39 and has played 9 minutes of football this season. It would be a ridiculous signing for us, and we can't afford to be signing people 'just to have around the place'

People actually turning this down

It’s the other way round mate

 

[Dan The Man]

In a heartbeat. He’d score at this level still imo and his movement would pull defences are all over the place

 

[Stan Cummins fault]

Me mar said if he comes back she will change her name to Jermain by deed poll

Wad?

Still looks like a 25 Yr old too. A good advert for keeping fit and off the booze.....too late for me now tho ha!

 

[ozz]

If I was him and money was no object I would be here like a shot. Imagine the adoration and job satisfaction you would get playing for a club that adores you.
However , it just doesn’t seem to work like that unfortunately.

 

[ftm1971]

Definitely have him back on a short term deal, imagine being a league 1 defense and having to worry about Defoe and the leagues top scorer

 

[RedFlag1308]

Love Defoe, but I’m not sure how wise it is. I couldn’t care less about being able to ‘afford it’ we can, the chairman should put his hand in his pocket. But I’m not convinced at his age he will be as dynamic as we currently play. At the moment despite lacking fitness the team plays very fluidly up top with lots of runs, dropping into holes, defending from the front. Has that ever been Defoe? Can he do that at 39? Do we have the quality in midfield to make up for him not doing that? If it’s a yes for all 3 then sign him up.

 

[freckletooth]

Would have him here yesterday.

if he was here yesterday he wouldnt have missed that header Stewart did in the first half

Paolo’s influence that

Akinfenwa is playing in this league and is the same age. I know which one I would prefer

 

[Reznor]

I don’t think he’ll be coming here, but there are certainly worse options to be a second striker for six months. It’s going to be difficult to attract anyone as good as Stewart because they’ll know they’re coming to play second fiddle and, once Broadhead is back, potentially third.

 

[houghton cut head]

LJ would play him full back anyway

Pathetic.
