RUMOUR - Jermaine Defoe

[DOYLERSAROYALER]

Big ego
Big transfer fee
Big wages
Small resale value

Sign him up.

...good goalscorer

£12m???????????

You should know not to believe what media sources claim to be the fee and wages. It always guess work unless a club confirms otherwise. Just look at Pogrebnyak ---> £65k a week...... No!! Half that. I would expect it's around the £6-7m mark and similar wages to that offered to Hoilett (rumoured to be £45k - allegedly out limit, plus various bonus')

I appreciate that it will be bonuses etc but to even consider Reading trying to pull of a deal like that even with AZ is something new for all of us.

Meltdown is imminent. I repeat, meltdown is imminent.

If Defoe goes to Reading then that is an amazing coup for that tin pot club.

[Pants of Primus]

william hill have now slashed odds to 6/4

someone has put a few big bets on...

[Agent Balti]

Sweet baby cheeses...Defoe and the Pog? Seriously? "We're gonna win 5-4..."

Ozzy Ardiles eat yer heart out. All attack, zero defence...

Yeah, me! Put £1500 on it.

[floyd__streete]

This would obviously be

a) immense
b) utter LOLz

So get the deal done, Hammond.

Do all these "put your house on it" claims actually have any foundation? So far the only 'evidence' this might be happening has been a few Tweets here and there.
