Jermain Defoe (no longer a rumour)


6 month different to 3 years mind ....
I get that but the principle of signing someone the manager doesn’t want is the same, and I’m not necessarily defending Johnson, and as I say I’m not certain about Defoe coming back. The memories and nostalgia I’d definitely have him back but, the reality of the difference between then and now for both club and player (not doubting he doesn’t have passion for us) is massive.
 
I wouldn't take anything the Echo say seriously like, they haven't a clue.

Especially when it say's "[Johnson] he is believed to harbour reservations......", with absolutely nothing to back that up. No quotes, no sources, nothing.

It's a complete non-entity of an article, based on nothing, aimed at attracting Friday afternoon hits for the paper's website.
 
Christ, I hope tomorrow isn’t difficult for his sake because this hasn’t helped him at all. I respect the bloke sticking to his beliefs for the squad but the emotion involved here there’ll be plenty ready to turn tomorrow.

Be loads of Defoe chants anyway. If we go 1 or 2 down i can see it being like Bolton at home when the ground went nuts wanting Phillips in. Hope I’m wrong but if we hit another streak there’ll be more turn on him because of this unfortunately. I like him too, I think he’s doing well but this hasn’t helped him.

Ross wanted Grigg, just not at that ridiculous fee.
