Jermain Defoe (no longer a rumour)

[Taffyduck]

Imagine the buzz if he signs

 

[MackemTonyG]

Not as much activity on this now that the Johnson detractors can’t have a go

 

[Blyth]

Totally inaudible from the West Stand, unlike the chants of Lee Johnson's red and white army.

And quite right

 

[Billy Batts]

Lee Johnson wears a Jermaine Defoe wristwatch. Lol.

 

[darius]

Has LJ retracted what he said and back tracked. Or been told to do so? I like how we play but he disappointed me with his negative reply 're Defoe.

Hasn't retracted at all. People read what he said in different ways. He said he wanted him and he is still saying he wants him today

Or maybe he didn’t say anything negative in the first place? Just a thought.

There is literally nothing to retract. He broke down transfers and explained exactly what goes into making them happen.

Or just maybe a "journalist" was talking shite

I thought he said he wanted JD and then played down how close we were / made it clear how difficult such a high profile signing would be, so that we didn’t get our hopes up and didn’t jump on his back if it didn’t end up happening.

Incredible reaction from many, riled further by that mag journo.

Some people will jump on anything to have a go at Johnson.

One look at some of Scott Wilson’s ‘Transfer Exclusive’ articles over the years should have been enough to see he talks shite.

 

[Vauxie]

This place is just full of idiots who believe what other idiots write on here

So what are the rest,idiots?

he did. I watched it

 

[Iain]

Hasn't retracted at all. People read what he said in different ways. He said he wanted him and he is still saying he wants Exactly the fact is if we sign him the deal was initially done before LJs first interview on the matter

Which comments are you talking about ?!

He didn’t. I watched it too.

In that interview, he never said he wanted him. I was disappointed

100%

It was ridiculous how many people on here jumped in the band wagon and formed opinions based on absolutely nothing.
