Jermain Defoe (no longer a rumour)


I remember the last time in a January window a manager wasn’t keen on signing a striker and we got Will Grigg.

Im not for a second comparing Grigg to Defoe, and I said when the rumour surfaced it was heart over head for me, heart I would love him back, head my mantra is never go back, so I am happy to admit I’m not as convinced or as invested as some in him coming back but, as the manager, Johnson will have to stand and fall by his decision.
 
only about 18 games left right? lets say it takes 3-4 of those before he's fit. thats 14 games left. then he can't play every game, thats maybe 9-10.

thats a lot of disruption for 10 games - when we could bring in another striker ready to go immediately and also stay on for next year and have re-sale value etc.

I don't like LJ but can't really blame him for the logic.

Lots of assumptions there like.
