Jermain Defoe (no longer a rumour)


A weird one. A few ITKs seem adamant Johnson had stopped the deal. He has said point blank we are working hard to get him here.

Maybe someone got the wrong end of the stick,? maybe he’s had a change of heart? I don’t think he’d string people along if the deal is off, just causing more problems in the long run that so I believe we are working on it.

Don’t know just hope it gets done.
Other posters were adamant that Johnson would get pellets and there would be constant Defoe songs yesterday.
 
The club has to make this happen. Will add onto the gate, bring much needed threat up top (even if it’s for the last 20 or so mins) and would be great to give him a coaching roll once he is done to the benefit of our future strikers!

Seems like the club have made fair and reasonable offer. Johnson says he wants him for footballing reasons.

Down to Defoe now, if he wants to come back the club and supporters want him here
 
He would be a great signing providing we don't have to wait a while to get him match fit, and his wages aren't too high so it affects any other players coming in, as still think we could do with another striker even with defoe
From listing last week to pundits who know him ,they were saying that his fitness levels are not going t obe a problem...His brain is still as quick as lightening. If he is up here next week as some have reported ,Northern Echo Phil Smith I believe, then that will be a grand signing.
 
Arriving for a 2 day fitness assessment before the club makes any decision.
They dont want to lay out the money if he is miles away from being able to contribute.Sensible approach.
This is from a lad who just came to my office, he also said he had been told this will be a busy week at SOL regarding transfers and that there is 4 x midfielders we have been looking at.
Please note the 'had been told'
What type of midfielders? Need another Danny Batth style brick shit house in midfield imo
