RUMOUR - Jermaine Defoe

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

well even though its sad that we have more than likely withdrawn our interest for defoe, its good to see the club stick with our wage structure even though we could afford his wages if we really really wanted him. in a few years time if this deal was emerging we could probably have gotten him. who knows if well go in for another striker now.

Agree. In a few years time he will be close to 33 and a much more realistic target.

Defoe was at training ground on Thursday, wheels in motion. #readingfc

Doubt it was just a social call....

Rumour is they want £8m for him. No chance anyone will pay that.

You have so much to learn about HNA

Never apologise. Random insults and defending your position in the face of overwhelming facts contrary to your statements is the HNA way.

[KDRF]

You lot are deluded both ways. Firstly he's a class act and would guarentee us 10-15 goals which could potentially keep us up. Which secondly means, we aren't getting him. None of our strikers could get 10-15 in chamionship let alone prem.

Poor, un-educated comment

Le Fondre got more than 10 goals last season, also if Roberts had of played for us all season, i think he would have aswell

12 goals in the championship doesn't mean 12 goals in the prem, especially seen as ALF will be 1 further down the pecking order now.

ALF - 2011/12 Championship - 32 apps, 12 goals.
Church - 2009/10 Championship - 37 apps, 10 goals.
Jason Roberts - 2011/12 Championship - 17 apps, 6 goals - definitely capable of 10 - 15 on that form.
2004/05 Championship - 45 apps, 21 goals
Noel Hunt - 2010/11 Championship - 33 apps, 10 goals
2008/09 Championship - 37 apps, 11 goals
Pavel Progebnyak - 2011/12 Premier League - 12 apps, 6 goals - well capable of 10 over a season.

Still, in all ways other than anything resembling facts, it's an excellent point well made.

Wasn't talking about Pog was talking about last season. So talking about last season, all but one of your facts were irrelevant, excellent point well made.

LOL, they've also got Sigurdsson in talks with Anton and Brian, Rhodes at the Madejski Hotel, and Everton about to sign Pranjic and Rodallega

[Friday's Legacy]

The Sky Sports interview was interesting when asked about Defoe. Brian confirmed the player he hoped to bring in next week in addition to Mariappa was from over here and not abroad. The reporter then said he wouldn't be doing his job properly if he didn't ask for a name, and McDermott then responded by saying he wouldn't be doing his job well if he told them... Sky then asked if the player in question was Defoe, which brought a rather coy smile from Brian, and said he was a Tottenham player...
