    Anything in the Flint stuff?

    Far more important is a dominant CB (and DM) than Defoe for me

    Got wind that we were going after an ambitious centre back previously. Think I put it on here that the centre situation would "change soon". Wanted to resolve alves who was a waste.

    Can not say for certain if it's flint mind.

    Be nice to have him back around if something can be worked out. Just to mentor our attacking players. See what works out.

    we’d be daft not to ask the question like.

    imagine if he came back and helped us up man.

    Agreed, on and off the pitch I think it would be a great move for all if a deal can be struck.

    Defoe would give everyone a lift and get the stadium bouncing. I am not sure how much game time we should expect. When we play well it is down to that high energy pressing from the front and at 39 it would be some going if he could do that. As a sub in the last 30 he may be an option. More likely he could be a great influence on the lads, and offer a different voice in training. I would still wants us to sign another centre forward who can compete / back up Stewart, Defoe wouldnt be that.

    Even to give Stewart a little break would be good.

    Still think a central midfielder is imperative. Been way too short there all season.

    Imagine Flint, Defoe and a decent centre mid.

    Start at 12.55. What a moment that was, one of many JD gave us while he was here! The stadium was shaking and listen to that noise!

    goosebumps.

    as a side note Defoe coming back would bring so much for some of the younger lads not to mention the knowledge Stewart could take from him. For 6 months it’s a no brainer imo.

    Yep !

    As I've said before, his presence within the club would lift everyone from the tea lady to KLD.

    He is fit.

    And he has been injury free for a vast part of his career.

    He will be an asset...

    No argument !

    He'd be a great role model and ambassador, and the young-uns would surely be 'lifted' by his presence :emoticon-0105-wink:
