Sky sports are now reporting that the Defoe Deal will go through on monday. Best of luck JD. a great servant to the club over the years. YIDDO!
looking back, Sherwood's body language when questioned about it suggested that he knew all about it. I just hope we're well underway with a replacement. Spurcat, tell us something!!!
Sherwood didn't play him because I guess we couldn't afford to get him injured. Let's hope the number 13 is significant because we got £13M for him.
I wont be sorry to see Defoe gone, but - please god! - tell me that Levy has someone coming in and that Sherwoodie has not convinced him to promote Kane to the squad!
If Defoe really has gone then we surely have another striker lined up. Kane has potential but is not ready - I fear though that Bentaleb's promotion to the squad/first XI could mean Kane gets the same. This was one of my gripes of having the youth boss promoted to head coach. EDIT - the Mirror is claiming Juve are going to bid Mirko Vučinić + cash for Lamela. I've just looked at Vučinić's stats on wiki - they're not great...
Addicted to Spurs ‏@AddictedtoSpurs 12m Sky Sports say Jermain Defoe will complete his move to Toronto on Monday, then expected to be loaned back to #THFC until March 1st.
Apparently he's being loaned back to us until March 1st. So perhaps we won't be getting another striker... Edit: must read all posts before posting.
Not anything to do with us, but there's rumours that Harry is going to west ham with Zola going to QPR.
We're supposedly looking at 3 strikers. Apparently one of them would be "unpopular but is good." - berbatov?
Good deal overall then really, £6m for a 31 year old and keeping him for 3 months is a great bit of business. Ryantegan on Twitter is a solid Spurs ITK but probably has better connections at QPR and has said that Harry's been contacted by the Hammers.
I don't believe Redknapp would take on another job trying to save a club in relegation. He's better off at QPR, getting them promotion and their chairman is loaded. But you know Redknapp likes a challenge so he may go for it yet hope he stays at QPR.
If we don't get a striker in for when he leaves in March its not, and if we do, JD will have less chance of a game...I don't get it tbh??
Seems to be far too much stuff on Lamela in the news, with more than one Italian club claiming to have made contact. Does he not like the look of the Sherwood regime? Weird stuff going on today!
We can survive 2 months with 3 strikers. We can go 1-up if we really need to with the attacking mids we have. Then we'll get another one in the summer
