[Guest Ant]

But This is gospel truth and I don't post what I dont believe anyway here goes

 

Defoe will officially sign after the world cup

[hideNseek]

And Kuyt, Alves etc?

[Guest Ant]

f*** Knows about them, even if I told you lot you wouldn't believe me...

 

But Believe me this guy is spot on

[madaboutlfc]

and who did he talk to

[Clay Davis]

sticking your neck out here ant on a signing thats been heavily on the cards for about 6 months!

[Guest Ant]

I am only saying it because I believe what this person is saying and believe it might be something solid

 

 

and who did he talk to

 

Oh now that would be telling

[anny road]

i was told by Alyson R that the press had been briefed about defoe and that he was expected to sort personal terms out by the weekend

 

She wasnt sure why they were not running it, but she thinks it is something to do with an agreement with the England set up about press stories........

 

apparantly

[McBain]

My two sources, Jack and Daniel, have both told me we're signing Defoe

 

Deffo

[danny]

Its been a done deal for a while.

 

 

 

 

(apparently)

So what's your forfeit if this goes t*** up? :dynamite:

[Guest jjasonuk]

What is FFS ?

[Spike]

For Fernando's sake

[meepins]

i was being sarcastic mate

 

obv he has ha reason for selling or he wouldnt be getting rid would he?

 

Do people think the manager would get rid of a player for no reason? He has scored a few goals yet he is certain to go

 

He might be a b*****d Rafa but he aint f***ing daft

 

didn't read your post properly but yeah, they still strike me as being very similar.I don't doubt rafa at all , never have never will ('cept bringing on Smicer in Istanbul, I still maintain thats f***ing nuts).Legend.

Elisha said it was a done deal on here last week. Next week Ant says "we're signing Crouch".

 

Good player, a touch greedy & lazy. Rafa will have to do with him as he did with Gerrard - knock the 'Hollywood' attempts out of him. He's certainly a better bet than Cisse, Crouch and the now gone Morientes. If he can get in the 6-yard box more often he may be just what we're looking for. I'm happy he's one of 4 strikers and yet I don't feel we've yet got that top Euro-class striker.

WTF is Euro Class?

 

totally different to Crouch.....not even comparable

[Earl Hafler]

Defoe is fecking garbage. I've been saying it for ages but i'd rather have Baros in the side and the facts are we play better football with 10 men than we did with Baros.

 

Crouch before Baros or Defoe any day of the week

So why is Rafa signing him if he is "f***ing garbage"?

[Gomez]

Don't understand the WC thing, with Rooney looking like he might be fight to sit on the bench if we make it to the final, Defoe won't be going, so what exactly is the point everyone waiting?

He didn't say it was a done deal. He said he heard from a different, but good, source that it was done. Not a resounding done deal.

Someone to strike fear into the likes of Barca and Milan in the CL, a forward who can wait patiently for that one chance and guarantee a goal. I think he'll be a great addition for the assault on the league though - just what we need there.

[RafaShanks]

The English/Premiership candidates each have their pro's and cons, and if I'm being totally honest, none of which inspire me, which where the problem lies with most fans. Owen is better than the lot put together, but is unlikely to return unless something miraculous happens.

 

Rafa is a very intelligent man and I have complete faith in whoever he decides to bring in. If he wants Defoe, then he's obviously seen something that he can work with. If Defoe is seen as Moro's replacement, then it's an improvement.

 

Give Rafa some credit FFS, (not "For Fernando's Sake), he knows what he is doing.

 

That'll mean when Djib is replaced, Rafa will have to replace him with someone like Kuyt, who is likely to score a fair few goals, but is more of a team player. Even Kuyt has his detractors. Oh, he plays in a s**** league and won't be able to repeat his prolific record etc. Course he's gonna be a risk, but Dutch players have a good record in most cases, adapting to the Premiership. If he manages 1 goal in every two, we'll be laughing.

 

Rant over!!!

Pretty much agree. The last couple of times ive watched Defoe i have been surprised at how poor he was.
