    This with bells on mate, can't see how we can go wrong plus he'll be a massive lift to the squad in general.

    Jozy or Defoe? yes its a good deal, Having said that its not exactly a massive step up, I don't think a 32 yo Defoe is any better than Fletcher or Wickham, Our problem has been service to the strikers, with Giacc and Alvarez now fit and getting up to speed we might do ok. Problem is Giacc and Alvarez need time, If the fans get on their backs we are never going to improve. They need a run of 6 games in my view, then you will see then best of them. I know 6 games is a lot but Giacc needs match fitness/sharpness and Alvarez needs pitch time to adapt to the English game.

    Absolutely, big profile England international.

    Massive plus, the lad shoots from distance, when did we last have that? Phillips? Reyna? Edwards?

    One of those moments and a draw is a win, and we are half decent everywhere else on the park.

    I just want this confirmed like. ASAP!

    I'm trying my best not to count the chickens, but if he's in for a medical then I'm getting excited mate.

    I can always resort to the hotel bar, but at 40 euros a bottle it could get expensive mate.

    There isn't a viable London option mate, so I think we have a shot.

    The medical is official by looks of it, and terms are agreed prior to travel now so could be imminent.

    I will follow Jozy's career mind and wish him nothing but the best, it simply isn't his league.

    My sentiments exactly mate, the Echo has said nothing will be announced today though so hopefully tomorrow there may be good news.

    Gus obviously knows him from the Spuds days, so must think he can fit him in, plus he will attract others. A big statement signing imo.

    I'm downloading funk and dropping in every now and then. Won't be announced till tomorrow now I wouldn't have thought. Next bit of news will be if Jozy agrees term or not. Early afternoon in Toronto now so hoping we'll have news on that by 11pm but may not get out until the early hours presuming he flew in this morning.
