    Exactly

    18 games. That's all we have left. If LJ doesn't want to disrupt everything we've done on what is essentially a gamble for 18 games, when there are hopefully other options out there, then I'm all for it.

    I don't think Lee Johnson is the right manager to get us promoted, but I don't blame him for this.

    My Derby supporting mates and sons loved him for Derby as well last year mate. Bags of talent by all accounts and at times championship defenders couldnt get near him.

  3. That's going to cause LJ some problems with some of our more cerebrally challenged followers!

    Ya telling me I might have to stay off “the other place”

    I’m sick of pointing out the risks of taking on a 39 year old at a critical juncture like this.

    The article seems pretty much nonsense anyway to be honest. It even says in it that Johnson hasn't ruled out signing Defoe :D It's covering so many bases.

    I still don't understand why some think that Defoe is not match fit just because he hasn't had game time.

    I'm an ex- FA coach and every squad player without injury, trains together.

    ....and if injury free, all those players are ready to start ...fact !

    If we got two CF's in, including Defoe, and he only came on for the last 20 mins in every game (for those who thinks he's too old) he will still have a direct impact on those games.

    KLD will make the final decision on this me thinks....

    Ah so basically - anything could happen and we aren't getting as many hits as we'd hoped for this January

  10. As much as I love JD,I can understand the caution LJ may have. He surely wants game time...it's why he's coming....in front of a large number of fans...he said exactly that on Talksport the other day. But,he's 39,the deal is very short term, and he doesn't come close to fitting the model we've been looking at over the last 12 months or so. The other players will be in awe of him....we don't want a situation where they're all trying to play through him.....we've already had that with McGeady and we know it doesn't work. As far as the coaching is concerned,LJ has Jamie Mac and Phil Jevons among others.....does he see JD as complementing them or...as a disruption?

    Really high expectations for Roberts. I hope he delivers.

    Yes, that's what I've heard. Concerns on previous injuries, playing time and other stuff. Lots of politics going on behind scenes. Hopefully get a result tomorrow and a couple more players in.

    I think once the politics settle down, defoe could very well end up here.

    I’d love him back and it would give the fan base a massive boost.

    Any news on potential midfielders mate?

    Defoe won't want to play against us this season no matter how professional he is.
    Think we can all imagine the likely scenario if that happened!

    Has Defoe actually had talks with any other clubs?
