So on kiddydale st yesterday they were mocking our reported pursuit of a 'geriatric striker' but that may have changed today with latest reports suggesting that they too are trying to sign this geriatric.

Jermaine Defoe to sign on an 18 month loan deal.

Defoe, Defoe We are the billy boys

Davis confirmed and Sky reporting Defoe done too. I’ve banged on about investing in youth but I can’t hide excitement at Defoe coming on loan. We’ve needed more clinical finishing and that bit of finesse that’s been lacking in the final third and I think he can bring it. Relatively low risk because I doubt we’re footing much of the wage bill.

We are a young team (outwith McGregor and Arfield) so some old heads in there will help.

What’s in this for Bournemouth? They make a small saving in wages?  and get back a guy who will be almost 38 with virtually no sell on possibility. Not that I’m bothered about Bournemouth.

Not unless we are paying more wages than qouted? Maybe gives Bournemouth the chance of a fee in 18 months? (America or Championship?) Defoe might be 35 but he has looked after himself.

They'll be saving in his wages.  Don't imagine we'll be paying it all. But likely a large percentage. We'll also likely be paying a fee for him also.

 

Also think he's done with Bournemouth once he goes back. Could be wrong about that though.

What a mentor Defoe could be for Morelos. There will be loads he can learn from him. Can't help but wonder if Gerrard has mooted the possibilty of a coaching role for Defoe too.
