Jermain Defoe

[Baz Bee]

I have it on good authority that a loan deal for all next season had been agreed with West Ham for Jermain Defoe.

Unfortunately this was prior to Harry Redknap's departure. The deal will now depend upon the new incumbent of the West Ham manager's position.

personally i can't see it happening. If he goes on loan it will be to a first division club but i hope i am wrong and he comes here.

He's now in the U21 Squad, so surely they will want him to go to a first division club to get some experience at a higher level.

Crystal Palace? Wimbledon??

Can't see him coming to us though, but it would be nice!

On loan again... I doubt it but it would be nice

They may be happy for him to come here as we have a well-respected manager rather than go somewhere like, say, Notts Forest where Platt isn't exactly overcome with plaudits

If Baz says it is true, the chances are it is!

Baz isnt into starting rumours or winding people up!

Has been reported in a number of places but it sounds like he may be given a first team run-out, especially if Di Canio decides to move on.

Both Brentford and West Ham have denied that this story is true.

 

[Yiewsley Bee]

Maybe a bit close to the mark then!

I cannot see why west Ham could possibly want him out on loan for a season, less still why they'd want him to come to us. Isn't he ready for a run in their first team by now?

i agree. dont be suprised to see him in the hammers first team next season.
