It will be. They absolutely loved him at Celtic. If he can regain that form we will have some player on our hands

I'm interested in the detail / language that comes with the signing. Whether they strictly talk about this season or there are hints of a longer deal in the summer
 
I'd be genuinely more excited about the hint of a 2.5 year (or even more) for Roberts than I would for Defoe coming back.

Think its more likely it'll be a loan until end season though. At which point I'd hope there's some sort of unofficial pre-contract agreement. Otherwise if he does well he'll likely go higher in the summer if we don't go up

Roberts is a permanent signing.

It's interesting on one hand he has been poor lately so maybe we don't want to go all in however he is an ambitious lad an undoubted talent and if he performs this season then there will be plenty of people watching waiting to step in I have a feeling he likes the big stage so I'm hopefull he will perform and want to stay
 
To be fair to LJ, if Defoe want a 6m playing deal and Defoe isn't match fit, then I'd agree, what's the point. He's only worth signing if he will play for 18m.
