Heard they were after doing a player + cash and we told them we'd only look at defoe + money. Wanted straight cash but they couldn't get the funds in time!
In all fairness to Jerome every time i've seen him play he's always been a handful and has pace which we're short of up front. ?5million maximum but no chance if it's anywhere near ?8million people are talking about for him!!
At the end of the day i work most weekends and go to every game i can but with work i haven't been able to get as season ticket plus i don't know anyone else who would use it if i wasn't there, just one of these things no matter what i will make sure my ass is in wembley for both games no matter what price!
Good signing, not a first 11 player but a decent player to bring of the bench and to use as cover, that is one thing we were lacking last season and it was depth in the squad to cope with injuries etc, good piece of business.
If he was at a club and wanted 25k a week then he has the right to ask for another 5k - 240k a year for being a freebie, saving us the money having to pay a transfer fee.
Must have changed their policy, when i was 15 or 16 4/5 years ago (can't really remember) my birthday was in early may and the club released the details so my dad asked about this and said that if we bought it before my birthday then we'd be fine, saved me ?100. When i went aswell they didn't ask for id until at the end of the season and showed them my student card and they were fine with that.
