No Deal


By Jaymes Marsh

Ex-Arsenal & England striker, Ian Wright, announced on TalkSPORT yesterday evening that his step-son Shaun Wright-Phillips will not be moving to Spurs in a swap deal with Jermain Defoe.

Sun columnist, Ian McGarry, stated that Chelsea wanted Jermain Defoe and were willing to let their explosive winger, Wright-Phillips move in the opposite direction as part of a straight swap.

"I can't believe that McGarry would write such a story? Where does he get his information from? I just can't believe that this fella would make the whole thing up", commented Wright.

Ian McGarry has extremely good contacts within football and it's these contacts that have helped him rise as a highly respected top sports journalist.

I go along with Wright though. He was adamant that his step-son wouldn't be going anywhere.

What I am sure of though, is that Jermain Defoe will either leave by the close of this transfer window (closes midnight Friday 31st August 2007), or he'll be gone in the January transfer window.

It's such a shame too. Martin Jol has stated on many occasions that he thinks there's no better finisher than Defoe in the Premier League.

Why can't our management give him a run of let's say, ten games? Let him show to Jol and to us that he should be our first choice striker.

I expect Defoe to be sold to Manchester United tomorrow. If that doesn't happen, Portsmouth will be in for him if they fail to sign Nicolas Anelka from Bolton.

Either way, I feel sorry for the lad. Do you? What do you think should happen with Defoe?

  1. I tell you what...I think we should sell Bent and Defoe and bring in Anelka.

    Can you image him playing up front with Berby? They both would score 25 goals a season apiece.
  2. Yeah, I also heard Wrighty say that yesterday.

    I also like McGarry and think that he wouldn't have written such an article without any substance to it. He's not that kind of journalist and Wright also said that.
  3. Lets say that the deal was to take place, where would we play both SWP and Lennon?

    Why try to sign a player that we dont need?
  4. I personally feel that SWP is a better player than Lennon. If such a story happened, I could see Lennon being sold.
  5. SWP will be joining us!! We've been after him for ages and now we've finally got our man. Defoe wont be part of the deal though.
  6. What does Wright know? His agent see's more of him than his step-dad does.
  7. Anelka has just signed a new contract with Bolton. That's strange.

    Maybe Bolton are trying to up his asking price.
  8. Bitty!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. I think that we should go after SWP and swap Lennon for him.

    He's a far better player as he can actually cross a ball
