RUMOUR - Jermaine Defoe

[floyd__streete]

Until Focher has confirmed an appointment has been made for Jerome to view a house this entire thread is rubbish.

Jerome Defaine?

Wasn't he the main character from The Shawshank Redemption

Skybet was 7/4 earlier today but now its 11/8. Betvictor has gone from 4/1 this morning to evens.

All that shows is people not ITK are believing the hype and putting money on him joining us. Therefore the bookies shorten the odds to protect themselves on the off chance it does happen.

[Ups and Downs]

I lumped another grand on.

Sat at the fans forum. Brian confirmed that we did call spurs but put it down when they confirmed the asking price.

[Ups and Downs]

Ask him if he made an enquiry about getting Gylfi back. And what his favourite flavour of starburst.

Defoe spoke to Reading today. If that be regarding a loan or perm deal I don't know, but it's very reliable. BM as you'd expect will play it down, as we've seen in the past with Le Fondre and probably others.

Playing it down in the media and at a fan's forum are 2 different things.

We won't be signing Defoe

I agree it's unlikely we'll get him, perhaps it's the pessimist in me, but why does what he says in a fans forum matter? That will be published by STAR in the next Reading Matter. You don't surely expect him to lay all his cards on the table to a room full of fans with twitter at their finger tips do you?

[Simon's Church]

Yeah it would be silly for the club to give loads of information away to people who'd put it all over the internet wouldn't it

Brian: 'How much for Defoe?'

Levy: Ten million.

Did anyone ask whether there were any plans in to bring in some quality players this summer to give us a chance of staying up?

[RFCSPACE]

I'm getting the same feeling of unjustified optimism that I had with Gylfi. To be shot down by Spurs again I imagine.

[akranes]

Really don't want him here, decent YOUNG(ish) CB and RB and I'll be extremely happy

I'm sure Reading Matter would have a massive impact on our transfer trading when it came out if he'd comfirmed we were talking to him today.

I have an inside source, I have an inside source!
What's that? Brian McDermott's said something different?
Well he must be lying because my source is more reliable than the manager of the team!


Seriously fed up of all this twatter bullshit now.

He didn't reveal much about the Gylfi deal when asked, he just said that at 10m we never had a chance. Strawberry.

Dont really want to get into this but...I have a Spurs contact and they texted me out of the blue today saying "Defoe talking to your lot today" so this is consistent with FL.

agreed, but in addition theyll also shorten the odds if they think it will happen - doesnt mean anything though
