Ibrahimovic is 40, plays 90 minutes most games, says it hurts like f**k after the match, and sometimes he doesn't know why he still does it, except because he can, and to be Zlatan is well, magnificent, so he is Zlatan, until he isn't.
If Zlatan can still do it in Serie A and international level, I guess Jermain Defoe can handle Division 3, until he can't.

Aye said earlier, 40 now is a lot different to a 40 year old footballer in the 80s,90s and even 00s
See it in other sports with athletes lasting longer.

Nope. Honestly, you cant see it. The subject of the piece has literally called it 'misinformation'. Not only that, he's also declared his interets6and respect for the player. IN COMPLETE CONTRADICTION to the article. You are blind, and you are wrong.

You really are a tit.
honestly what is the need for this abuse man. so out of order.
It is not misinformation at all like. What you on about?
Journo will have contacts at Sunderland and with Defoe's camp.
Really not sure what you are going on about here.
It would have been misinformation if his source was Lee Johnson!! Thats the point.
I am all up for signing him like but was a reality check of how brutal the games are, with Stewart so isolated at times
Will be a challenge to get Defoe in the games

But if he came on for another and played alongside stewart then Portsmouth would have second thoughts on going all out.

Johnson literally called it misinformation. clearly, you are ill-informed. The article has been contradicted and proven as being wrong the day after! what are you not getting about this?

In much the same way blaming LJ for every error on the pitch was cringeworthy. I did not do it by the wayThat would have been unbelievably cringeworthy surely

Are you Scott Wilson? Serious question, this.its not a load of rubbish, he'd have been told that
Johnson put it right, thats fine, doesnt mean he wasn't told that, either by someone at SAFC or someone on defoe's end
its just people kicking off becausw they dont like the article
happens every single time
Are you Darren Grimes?
Unless you are, there’s no way you can be certain “he’d have been told that” by anyone, either at the club, at Defoe’s end, in the local boozer or by voices in his head.
I find it interesting you say you know just how newspapers work, especially in this region and especially at The Northern Echo. Where does your knowledge come from?
I'm not. How can't you get this basic point. Its only misinformation if his source with Johnson, as that means he lied about what Johnson said.
If his source is a director at Sunderland or Defoe's agent then its not misinformation, it's a good story to print!
I'm not, I'm just explaining how it works as people seem to think just because Johnson says otherwise it means he made it up. He won't have, he will have his source for this, which he could never reveal obviously.
Knowledge comes from my work with them, its not a big deal, just people getting their knickers in a twist here about something that hasn't actually happened.
None of me saying this means I dont think Johnson doesnt want Defoe btw.

If the information is wrong - that Johnson didn’t or doesn’t want the Defoe deal to be done - then it’s wrong. It doesn’t matter who it’s come from.
It’s like me telling a journalist black is white and them printing it as fact. Just because someone has said it, doesn’t make it right
That's not true though is it. Its not black and white.
So just in a hypothetical situation, Defoe's agent told a journalist thats why it might not go ahead. Are you saying he shouldn't write that story?
BTW, The mods are interesting on here considering I got banned for telling someone to go boil their head the other week, that somehow is considered worse

There was no source! You really are giving this journalist far more credit than is due. it was purely his opinion given as fact. There was no new evidence or quotes. it was absolute horseshit. And the fact it was dismissed so quickly proves it. If the two sides are playing hardball against each other and are using the press to try and get a better deal, as you are suggesting (implying that the source was defoe's agent), then surely Johnson would keep quiet about it all and not declare his position to everyone at the very next opportunity he gets. He is interested. He's made that clear. Therefore the article is bullshit. I'm absolutely convinced that what has happened is that Johnson gave a really naive and stupid answer to a question in a press conference, which led to a journalist writing a piece about him not being interested (which is what a lot of other people also GUESSED).
I wish, working mate!

My take on it is this.
For me it’s a no brainier.
A fresh Defoe in this league will be an unbelievable asset down the back end of the season.
People saying he is demanding this and that will never know until he’s given a go and either proves most people right or proves the negative boring section of our fan base right.
We have been in this league for 3 years now without a thing to get excited about really.
Jermaine Defoe I’d be willing to bet would terrify defences in league 1 coming on for half an hour here or there or starting games with Stewart in a period where we need to throw caution to the wind and win most games to go up.
The lift it would give the fans, players and everyone at the club would be immense, there would be a buzz around the place again and might be enough to gain momentum to get us up.
It might not work.
It might go wrong.
But what is there to lose ????
We aren’t exactly ripping the league apart at the minute !
Roll the fu#*ing dice and see what happens.
I’d rather see Defoe coming on than aiden o bas**rd o brien Man.
Make it happen man
