LCCFox96 Posted 1 January 2015 Share Posted 1 January 2015 I am still hoping we can land Defoe. Natural finisher and a hard worker so he is just what we need! He would be an astute acquisition to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnaldo Posted 1 January 2015 Share Posted 1 January 2015 40/50k a week two year deal with a tasty survival bonus maybe? Would be a great buy to an area that could do with improving and won't damage finances too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a great buy to an area that could do with improving and won't damage finances too much. A deal is doable on our part imo. It hinges on whether or not Defoe wants it though. Hopefully he's attracted to the bright lights of the King Power Stadium. I think he would be a great addition to the squad on a deal such as the one you suggest.

Nick Posted 1 January 2015 Share Posted 1 January 2015 We must roll the dice and spend if we are going to have more than a hope of surviving. It'd be great if we could get this done, though it might not make traditionally perfect business sense unless he bags 15 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 1 January 2015 Share Posted 1 January 2015 'Arry seems to be doing things right, and will be well safe this year as I predicted. He is able to lure decent players there, while sadly Pearson cannot. That is why QPR will be a Premiership side still, next season, and we appear likely to be relegated, despite today's excellent performance. Fingers crossed though.

Clever Fox Posted 1 January 2015 Share Posted 1 January 2015 Harry said today he won't be signing Defoe. Nigel get the deal done. Deals can always be done , that's the nature of business. A 2 year incentivised deal based on results and staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 1 January 2015 Share Posted 1 January 2015 Stevie Squashynose has confirmed that Hull are planning to try and sign Defoe - and they can offer good money. Defoe is a good player but he does strike me as being a bit of a money-grabber so I could see him going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnup Posted 1 January 2015 Share Posted 1 January 2015 Can he still even cut it? he could easily come here and be dreadful. Hardly a Pearson type signing really. If we want an old MLS star Robbie Keane had a brilliant season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjslcfc Posted 1 January 2015 Share Posted 1 January 2015 Nothing to do with them spending vastly more money I presume. Crawl back in your hole. Or to do with them being in London.

You are just so unbelievably thick, and that's being kind to you. Spending that money got them promoted, and that money we keep them there, come the end of this season. Money well spent, is better than peanut money bringing in ordinary players. Now go away and sulk, in your pram, and stop throwing your toys out.

lcfcnsk Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jan/02/jermain-defoe-leicester-return-premier-league Jermain Defoe is set to join Leicester City from FC Toronto. The Premier League’s bottom club have jumped to the front of the queue for the striker’s signature, ahead of Queens Park Rangers, among others, and they are confident of closing the deal.Harry Redknapp, the QPR manager, is on record as saying that Defoe was prominent on his list of January targets but it is Leicester who have made their move, and they hope that he can score the goals to help them avoid relegation back into the Championship.Defoe, 32, might need a little bit of time to regain his top-level condition, having not played since the end of the MLS season in October but his goal-scoring pedigree in the Premier League – at West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Portsmouth – is proven.His record at Toronto was also good, even if his surprise move to North America from Tottenham last year has not worked out the way that everybody had hoped it would. He scored 11 goals in 19 games, including two on his debut in Seattle, causing tremendous excitement in Canada.But he ran out of steam, he suffered from injury and he missed matches. He was supposed to help Toronto to a first play-off appearance but the club fell short and his situation was soured by a statement made last September by Tim Leiweke, Toronto’s president.Leiweke questioned Defoe’s commitment and said that “if you don’t want to be here, get the hell out of our way”. Nobody has previously questioned Defoe in such a manner and he admitted in a Guardian interview last October that it had hurt.Defoe, who was overlooked by the England manager, Roy Hodgson, for last summer’s World Cup finals, has long seemed likely to leave Toronto. Leicester intend to provide him with a fresh challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 Oh, god. If... if he joins he better be good. I don't want us to end up with another overpaid and overhyped striker who fails to live up to all the hopes. A Yakubu-esque stay would certainly do the trick.

Harry - LCFC Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 I think there's a possibility he wouldn't be that good. The MLS is the place where careers go to die. If he does come here hopefully it was his desire for a proper competition that made him want to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 He's still a good age and he knows he will need to take a pay cut to come home. I hope its a permanent deal as I would like to see him stay if we are in the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
