Jermain Defoe (no longer a rumour)


For a while I was fortunate to have access to the players and staff back in the Roker Park days, I used to drink in the players lounge with them after the game, never heard anything worth a spit.

I mean it does happen, there are examples but some of the stuff that comes out is beyond ridiculous, like not even in the realm of possibilities. But always fun none the less even if it is just @The Rat hurling abuse.
 
To be fair, I think Magnus himself has said his comments re: LJ are based on the interview.

I do think he gets info, but this particular snippet appears to be an opinion rather than itk.
Aye but magnus saying it reminds me of when the judge tells the jury to disregard a statement made in court. Once its out there it becomes fact on here

I tend to laugh most of it off. Mind, every now again I can't help thinking some of it damages our club.
 
Not wanting to **** on Magnus but does he ever actually get info? I swear he seems to always follow the others. And for ages he was the one telling us the takeover was Fuhrman. He built his ITK reputation on that, and people seemed to not notice when it wasn't.

Since then whenever he has posted it has seemed to be just opinion that is worded in a way to make it look ITK. Just a few days ago he posted he'd be surprised if Defoe didn't sign. Seems to me like he's just usually good at guessing which way the wind is going to blow.

Prehab, deodrant and that Wheatsheaf fella I believe get good stuff.
:lol: :lol: Exactly that. People were thanking him for keeping them informed during the takeover saga ignoring the fact that none of it had come to fruition.

It doesn't really bother me either way to be honest and I'm sure he's a genuine lad but his source is definitely a duff one.
 
JD would be a plan B target. He wouldn't have been on our radar until he left Rangers.

Strange how we leak info to all and sundry when potential signings are rumoured in the media, not a dicky bird on signings like Bartth.

I would set Defoe as an opportunist A and bring in another lad who can be brought through alongside Defoe and Stewart. Stewart is a cracking player, needs looking after, and would learn a good deal from Defoe.

No idea what the crack is, we are building a good looking squad overall and if we can shore up the defence optimism will be high.

The club is clearly working to a plan and we look in decent fettle overall, I hope we can get up this season, it's going to become a slog if we cannot.
 
I was talking to my Ranger supporting mate at work today and he said that he was gutted Deffo left the club and though VB made a mistake and should have kept him around.

Joined Rangers in summer 2020 and made only 17 appearances mostly as sub.
Hasn't played in months and is 40 next.
I think someone is telling fibs about being "gutted" Defoe is leaving.

Always the way mate. Doesn't even have to be Magnus or other 'ITKs'. Someone spouts an outrageous opinion or take on something on here. A few echo the same. Even worse, it starts going back and forth between here and over the road. A while later what was an opinion is basically taken as fact.

A few months later the same things are dragged up over and over, becoming more and more definite as time passes.

Rinse and repeat.

Thank u for that thought I was only one who noticed

Unless he thinks he should have played more. His goal ratio is good.

Maybe this lads mate thought he warranted more time on the pitch, particularly recently.
 
If the manager doesn’t want him that’s fair enough the manager should always have the final say.
However if Defoe scores plenty of goals between now and the end of the season and we miss out again he better put that tin hat on.
Thats the point though its KLD and the muppets that need the tin hat.At the moment we have signed a kid from Ireland who sounds as if he is one for the future.I hope im wrong but action is needed in the next 10 days to have a chance of going up.

And a centre half.
 
Yeah I take it all with a pinch of salt.
Did any of the so called itk's mention batthy boy signing before he did actually sign?They never actually come out with concrete statements do they? its like the messages from beyond the grave fekking cryptic!I must admit i thought prehab and magnus were cool but now i think they belong firmly on the doubting step!If we dont get a striker in(not including defoe) we are toast.......... so to all the ITK get yer ears to the ground coz i think we will be sourcing a striker before the window closes so who is going to be first to name him ?
