I don't think it will happen either. I think we need to concentrate on getting the Roberts deal over the line and getting a replacement in for Broadheads position.
I'd be very happy with that. If I was being greedy also a big unit for the middle of the pitch.

Not sure this has been mentioned. What if Defoe wants some guarantees over playing time. He seems to be saying wants to finish playing in front of crowds before coaching. Maybe we arent in a position to guarantee that, and nor should we. At 39 and with minimal football in the last 2 years I do wonder how much he would contribute on the pitch. Impact sub for us perhaps, or perhaps a starting spot elsewhere? Might tilt the balance for him?

surely he’s been around long enough to know that there are no guarantees and game time is earned?

Yeah mate. Just with us I think he would find it harder to earn than say at Charlton. All just surmising on my part.

If that does end up being the case then it’s fair enough I suppose.

I hope he comes back, for the lift it would give the fans as much as anything.
