rumour - Jermaine Defoe

by Mid Sussex Royal » 12 Jan 2022 18:45

Probably nothing in it but doing the rounds on Facebook/Twitter that we've made him an offer.

Did he play with Carroll at Newcastle?

He`s 39, it`s all very well knocking them in up in Scotland but the championship is a step up.

It's not even a rumour really. Courtney Friday suggested we should have a look as he'd score more goals than Puscas and some aggregator account took that as a solid rumour.

It wouldn't be the worst signing we've made in the Dai era, even if it was only for 6 months. Player/coach role at Rangers as well, could be something he takes up here as well, potentially under a new manager.

39?. Surely just an unfounded rumour? He would last 10 minutes in Championship. Would be a kick in the teeth for Gilksy and others if he came along in a coaching role.

His game was largely built on his pace wasn’t it, can’t really see him being able to leg it quite like he could 10 years ago. Still have to say he’d possibly be a better option than Puscas off the bench based on what we’ve had this season - and if he was offered some form of player/management/coaching role in the summer it might be really worthwhile.

On the radio today he said that he just wanted to focus on playing this season rather than coaching.
He also said that he felt really fit and this might just be a better option than the aged Les Ferdinand was.

Well doesn’t this just signal our desperation.


With Meite and Joao getting closer to returning, and Clarke having already scored a brace, this just looks daft.

No, because he never played for Newcastle. They probably played together for England.
