I personally don't think that this was any more than just a rumour during the January transfer window, but I'd still like to see Defoe sign. Maybe in the Summer but agreeing a sensible fee would be difficult with Spurs and I'm not convinced Defoe would want to move to the north.
I think it was January or bust for this deal, he doesnt fit into the long term vision of the owners, it may have happened this month dues to us needing a goalscorer but we have held steady with the belief in what we have so i cant see it happening in the summer.
He may have wanted to move due to the Euros this summer and the need to play regulary but either way it didnt happen, that being probably due to :
Him not wanting to leave London.
Us not actually wanting him.
The price being too high that was quoated.
I think we will bring in a striker in the summer but one that fits the long term plan.
