Friday's LegacyMaguireurz13 It was never on in the first place, and we ne'er even spoke to Defoe ffs.
Yes we did
We absolutely did speak to him, and he also expressed an interest in coming here; but because it's such an ambitious move, some corners just wont accept it's genuine. Most were the same with our attempt to bring Sigurdsson back. Yes it was also extremely unlikely, but nevertheless we made a bid, it was accepted, and he was good enough to hear what we had to say.
The only thing I can't get my head around is we must have known what he was earning at Spurs, and roughly what it would take to bring him here. So to be put off by his wage demands just doesn't seem right to me. But it sound very much like it wont happen now, unless something unexpected changes.
"In the off-season we were negotiating with players at the level of England internationals," Zingarevich said. "People like the club."
