How short memories are! There were rumours at the time Defoe ( hurt and all ) had been sold but it didn't happen. Turns out they were true, at least that's what I have heard. And having sold Defoe we may or may not have gone after Jozy, but we would have been in a far better situation with the cash in hand and roster flexibility. Might have kept Gilberto, for example, or got Jozy on a better deal, a different striker, or a DM. etc. As it was the Jozy deal looked like about the only way we could deal Defoe and keep our investment.
