I personally think Paul Robinson could be important with trying to persuade defoe to move to rovers as he had to make the same move couple of years ago

Oh yeah! Good old Paul Robinson.

I suspect he's the one Alan Nixon mentioned as Blackburn's team in convincing Defoe to come to Rovers. :D

Be great if he succeeds!

The comments on the Mirror article are annoying, though.

Just to put it in perspective...there is ONE MONTH to the first game...and FIVE players needed.

So time to turn the talk into action.

I hope that the dithering spell of role-changing, list-ripping, budget-trimming and then budget-part-restoring plus possible takeover-dreaming does not prove to be damaging in the final analysis.

Exactly. So far it has been an absolute disaster.

I would much rather keep Samba over these Tottenham squad players. Defoes wage' will be impossible for us surely. I understand the "spurs" salary cap, but I am certain he would ask for a massive raise to move north. Besides, I don't remember hearing about Samba wanting to go to Spurs...

Why should he want to go to spurs? If he bides his time, he knows he could end up at Arsenal, or even Chelsea/Liverpool. I am not suggesting Spurs are a small club, but it isnt the massive step up his career deserves.

Good point! Well done that man, here's hoping!

Only thing is Robinson is a northerner himself, so it doesn't have quite the same clout as if you're a southerner who has moved here and discovered that for everything you lose moving north, you gain 5 times as much.

Again heard the defoe rumour yesterday. I'm sure Rovers would like him, but will it happen? No.

why does he always have to put a downer on everything

It's common sense. Why would Jermaine leave London at this point in his career? Even if he did wish to leave Tottenham, he would be offered more cash at a whole hosts of clubs in the south of England or in cities. Also i'd expect him to stay at Spurs, being one of 'Arrys old boys.

I dont even read his tweets anymore - he is so negative. How does he know what will happen?

I am not that impressed with other names put forward, but thats all they are at the moment. Hopefully they have learnt to keep their powder dry and make approaches in the correct manner. We will see.

Just a note on the phantom tweeter, he later tweeted "i have been twitter rapped, ignore my last tweets on rovers" so that makes this all very confusing to say the least.

What's the twitter @ name?

Just couldnt see Defoe moving here, would be very surprised if that one happened.

If he was for sale, would there be other clubs in for him? If not, and he has nowhere else to go, then there may be a chance.

So the one deal that Nicko said definitely wouldn't be happening has happened. looks like the LET were on the money with that one from the start, despite them getting slated on here by many for having a different (and correct) view than the national press.

welcome back Benjani!!

i dont trust much of what he writes. he is always vague when interviewed on talksport too. look at his transfer links and a lot have proved to be nonsense.

why the hell are you all so negative about defoe? who says it wont happen? who would have thought he would join portsmouth? ( i know theyre a southern club) If he has ambitions to play for england regulary then maybe he will say yes, who would have thought andy cole would have come here? Lets be honest how many london clubs want/or could get defoe? chelsea, arsenal, they wouldnt be interested. QPR - no chance, fulham? possibly. That really only leaves aload of midlands and northern clubs.

Disappointing to hear the Twitter guy coming out and saying to ignore the Defoe tweet.

I don't know what's more disheartening, when we weren't being linked to anyone of any note, or being linked to lots of quality players and not getting any of them.

I feel like every day a juicier carrot gets dangled but we never manage to get a bite.

although your point about wanting to stay in london is logical,

his options are very limited. arsenal and chelski havent shown interest, so that leaves fulham or QPR.

another thing i may have overlooked is.. i seem to recall him being good friends with dunny. maybe from a press interview back in their U21 days ??
