Think it is unfortunately

[Stevosevic]

Just mentioned on TalkSport as well.

[copunk]

would love defoe, scores goals wherever he plays, doubt he would come here though

[Dr The Singh]

Were well down the pecking order!

[Haydos]

Aaron Lennon would be dece if he's available.

[Robin JD Popley]

Aaron Lennon would be dece if he's available.

 

Think he is mate, but talk of him going to Stoke. Think he would be great though if we could convince him but as a newly promoted side, it is difficult.

 

Sure we'll end up getting someone mind.

For me we're lacking another winger, and possibly a striker and a CB too. Injuries in those areas and we're in trouble. 

 

Development signings on deadline day seem strange to me. Players around their prime are required.

[JonnyBoy]

according to Now football and BBC sport Defoe could be joining us.

 

 

Imagine... 

[Kitchandro]

 

These 'whispers' have probably been from Foxes Talk

Not a hope in hell.

Would certainly bust our wage structure which surely makes it very very unlikely. More likely is his agent talking up possible destinations to push someone who can afford him into doing a deal.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Another winger would be nice but not essential, another option and would give him time to bed in before January and Riyad (probably) disappearing for the Cup of Nations.

[Jon the Hat]

Do QPR really have more money than us?  I am sure we could sign Defoe if we tried.  He played at Pompey for ****s sake!

[suffolk fox]

This is crap reputed to be on between £68,000 and £90,000 per week at Toronto. Only signed for them in January of this year ok they have lost their manager but why do they want rid? Used to work in Tottenham in North London for ten years went to Spurs a lot. Loads of rumours doing thebrounds that he was a trouble maker and caused unrest in the changing rooms at Spurs hence why although he scored goals he rarely made their first eleven. We don't want or need him anyway but no way will he come here.

I'd have thought it'd be essential to get in another left sided player, considering all our wingers are right footed. What happens if Konch/Schlupp pick up an injury or lose form?

Aren't Tony and Mahrez left footed?

[Bamba's Babes]

Defoe = 10 goals guaranteed.

Get him in!!!

[Stevosevic]

He wants out and wants to come home.

Looks like a move somewhere today is very likely. And he is in England today.

???? When Pompey were throwing money around for fun.....

You're right, but their preferred position is on the right.

the Pompey reference was more about ruling out smaller clubs like us.

[C-man]

Holtby has signed for HSV. The dream is over.

[fazzyfox]

Thought I saw Carlos Puyol in Morrison's, I asked him to sign my autograph book but when I read it it turned out he was comedian Alan Davies.
