Defoe has our final offer and I have been told that we are the only club to get that far with him as of this afternoon. Fingers crossed.
Yeah I read somewhere saying he was the main man behind it and hopefully the connection were building now with city is fruitful for years to come
Hopefully an announcement today or tomorrow so he gets in the squad on Saturday then mate! Thanks for the info
Not really in his interest to drag out negotiations given he might only have 20 games left in his career
The negotiations might well be about what happens after the end of the season. For me, it would be crazy NOT to bring in his expertise to coach the strikers but I'm not Speakmann
That was my only concern tbh., our pairing last year of Sanderson and O/9 coped well enough, not sure if they were any taller, heights of players are often at odds when reported, even so their are countless center backs under six foot who seem to manage. We will have to wait and see if Olly is one of them, I think he has every chance, but only time will tell.
I hope we'd sign another striker even if he DOES come here. We are desperately short up front with Broadhead injured and AOB utter turd
Shocking tackle that, and yet another player who might benefit from a move, I only hope we include sell on clauses in these outgoings, i expect so as our transfer dealings have improved greatly. I look forward to the day I can say the same about the coaching side of our set up.
