Jermain Defoe (no longer a rumour)


I’m going to assume Haaland has put in a transfer request and is trying to force through a move to SAFC because he loves Lee Johnson’s hat and that’s why we have sacked off Defoe.

No evidence to the contrary.
Alf Inge is 48, might be top much for him.
 
Its not the crowd turning on him. Its complete frustration and a bit of embarassment that we are the man city of league 1 and have been for 4 years yet still find ourselves playing oxford ubited / cambridge / accrington. Our club should only have been down here for 1 season with resources it had but bodgit and scarper took over and absolute fucked the job up. All frustrstion that cones out on matchday threads and anything aimed at the current manager is ultimately cos of said reason. Also, perspective - if it were newcaslte in our position there'd be fake funerals and mass demonstrations held the lot. The previous regime should be greatful they still have all their limbs in tact
Are you @kildaremackem’s slightly more literate twin?
 
You're spot on about Johnson.
I'm not anti Lee Johnson but I can't stand listening to him.

He's got the talk but he needs the walk otherwise he leaves himself open to ridicule.
He hasnt got the talk though has he? He talks a load of cockgobble Hes so far up his own anus strumming his own ego that he doesn't realize he talks nonsense. He needs media training pdq . I can just about put up with his drivel when were winning but when were losing he sounds like a three year old trying to explain string theory!
 
All it takes is an injury to Stewart in training and our season is pretty much over. Here you have a striker of the calibre of Defoe on a free transfer who you know is going to guarantee you goals in this division, it should be an absolute no-brainer decision for the club. Will be sickening to watch him banging in goals for another club in our league.

Toys well out of the pram here
 
Defoe is probably being sensible and respectful in talking to clubs that have expressed an interest. His decision may well ultimately be made on grounds of how he sees himself and what he’s prepared to accept. He’s arguably a better veteran signing than SKP was at the same age and he got top end championship moves when if not past his sell by date was certainly long outside his best before date. Last week of window and a good championship offer might well appear if he’s happy to accept 15 minutes here and there. If it’s league one he might think he should start and realise he probably won’t get that here but might elsewhere. Time will tell and if he goes elsewhere hopefully he’ll put a few past the top six except us!
 
Magnus over the road stating it is Johnson’s fault if we don’t sign him.

If we believe he’s itk about him not coming, we can’t pick and choose opinions about when he’s itk.

That Magnus character either knows stuff, which posters on here do vouch for him, or he’s a bullshitter.
 
If we get him it would be a huge statement.
We currently have Taylor, first name on the team sheet and that's about it for out and out goalscorers, after which options get flaky with Winnall (mostly crocked) and Agyei (erratic and random) to lead the line.
Can`t see it myself but strange things happen...

You must be listening to a different bloke to the one I hear interviewed.

If he’s saying it’s “Johnsons fault”, then plainly that’s bullshit. There’s no way whatsoever he could know what’s being said between JD and the club, or between LJ and the recruitment team.
 
Blaming Johnson is a handy get-out for any ITK who jumped the gun on this.

On these ITKs who pop up every window, I don't doubt that most hear stuff. I just doubt the reliability most of the time. Put yourself in the same position. You have a mate whose close enough to know the craic with our transfers - are you really going to risk them getting in trouble to keep a bunch of strangers on the internet happy?

I can imagine that most of the info they get is third or fourth hand at best, or from other ITKs who message them. Doesn't mean that it's complete bollocks, but people should really stop hanging on their every word and taking everything with a huge grain of salt.

Hes just went off his interview there like. Clearly hasn't a clue
