Some of the comments on Twitter RE that bogus Defoe story in the Northern Echo, that has absolutely no new quotes or anything and has just twisted what LJ said mid week, are absolutely ridiculous, people just reacting to Scott Wilson’s tweet without opening it
No up to date quotes in the article and nothing new in it either, just twisted what he said mid weeks, poor from Wilson
Don’t start me off about Gooch who continues to frustrate me as he has never fulfilled his potential and a short while ago I said I could see him losing his place in the side , with the signing of Roberts I think the time is nigh .
Think I said earlier when we were first in for him my Partick Thistle supporting mate texted to say "The wee man is a F***ing magician" and he hates Celtic. Jags fans know their football (well apart from Alan Nixon) He could be our new Magic Johnson. We just need the new Kevin Phillips to play alongside Stewart now.
I don’t need to tell you all how ****ing delighted I am with Roberts. I feel I’ve made my position clear all week on it, top, top signing strong argument that it’s the best signing in this league this season.
I would like to see Defoe end his career helping us , but its not a massive issue if they can't make it work as I trust the new recruitment team . New arrivals don't always fit in ,and its a completely different set up from the one he left . He was a brilliant signing, I may be wrong but he didn't hit the ground running and took a while to settle. we would need him to start from minute one...so a judgement call is necessary.
Know nothing about the lad, he might be decent but doesn't look to be physically imposing, granted he's about 6ft but looks lightweight for this league physically. Interesting to see if we are in for him as he's clearly been well thought of earlier in his career and is still only 21. Chuffed with Roberts mind. Think he'll be class.
It’s very clear he’s been briefed by someone from the club to run that rather than just weirdly make it up off the top of his head. You think the sports editor would just say ‘cool, let’s run your fantasy for the crack?’ What’s more interesting to me is who has briefed it and why. The side of the recruitment team who want Defoe or those who don’t? Cui bono?
Yeah i remember you saying that mate. I know a few Boro lads that speak highly of him aswell during his time there. He's in the same boat as Pritchard now. Both had huge potential and now rebuilding their careers in league 1 with us. Pritchard has already shown in glimpses his ability is a class above.
If we can just get out of this ****e bloody league. I think we are starting to build the basis for a good championship side.
Me too mate. Weve already beat 2 Championship sides this season. I think the physical demands of league one has/is too much for us.
If he has been briefed then surely there’s got to be more substance in his story? All he has done is requoted his comments from mid week, he has always been extremely hit or miss for me so like I always do with him I’m taking it with a massive pinch of salt
