But he isn't any other 39 year old striker he's a natural born finisher who still seems to have kept himself fit
People hate the fact some people get information and they don't. They seem to think it's impossible for people to be in a position to hear things. So many things can change in football but you have been spot on. I've think I've said it to you before but when you left because of the **** you were getting I followed you I'm not some weird stalker just able to tell when someone knows what they are on about
He’s up tomorrow for a medical, a quick visit to the park then off for a celebratory pint in The Fountain
When you think of how many people could pass info out of the club its actually more surprising that any signings are kept quiet at all. The admin person who types things up gets to see the written offer. Someone emails it to person or another club, the fitness people get asked to look into injury record of a proposed signing. Someone has to book the medical for a particular name, the media team are told to get the announcement ready and the photographer is stood there taking pictures. The club shop put a name on the back of a club strip ready. Thats not to mention players and the coaches themselves hearing things from a friend at another club passes on that that the player says he's waiting on an offer from Sunderland. All of the above have family members and mates in the area. Agents will leak info with hope of a more lucrative last minute alternative club. Walls have ears.
Heard some news tonight..looks like I will be holding my hands up regarding Defoe. Looking promising.
Is this instead of or as well as another forward. I seem to be in a minority of about three that love Defoe but want someone with age and energy on their side.
To be fair fella, it looks like it’s been anything but straightforward. It’s inevitable there’s been some twists and turns along the way. For me , I’d be delighted if he comes back. It would really give a massive lift.
I’m in compete agreement with you. People say that Defoe won’t need to play many games and he’ll be ideal in a super sub/impact role but what if Stewart gets injured. Maybe it’s Defoe and another (Broadhead equivalent) if O’Brien goes. That would be the ideal for me.
I think O'Brien will definitely be away next week and we will need another one in up top. We look covered out wide if Clark comes in, but we will need another one for the central role imo
