    That sounds about right. Hopefully we'll be able to find out if he's in town or not over the weekend. Then the rest is just a formality. Monday is a bigger news day - so better choice for them.

    Is this news really something that will make people spit out their coffee?

    If he is signed TFC should be demanding he not play another game for them.

    I highly doubt we are loaning him straight back to the Spurs since they are the ones selling him, maybe Westham? I still don't like the loaning bullshit though, TFC shouldn't be pushed around considering the amount of money involved.

    The ads are great. That's exactly what Spurs fans will be doing when the official announcement is made.

    I always had lingering doubt in my mind that Defoe would make the move. Ecstatic to see it's looking nailed-on. I'll relinquish my dislike for him as soon as he wears TFC's red.

    Has anyone told DeRo and his agent that this mini-campaign is not focused on him?

    Wow, people still remember that one? I guess that's my Al Bundy Polk High Touchdown story.

    People still mention my Supporters Gate idea so we all need to be known for something.

    Imagine the story lines if TFC misses the playoffs by a point again and he misses March/April games?

    As for gravity of the news, it's a big deal. I know its the retirement plan scenario with MLS and Premiership names but worthy of a raised eyebrow for sure.

    I don't know if it sells tickets in the way they are counting on. A new ticket holder opting into med greys would have to part with over $1,300 (pair) just to see him.

    Impact on the pitch? Depends on the impact 31 years have had on his body. Real risk is he blows a knee like Koevermans did. All the eggs are firmly in that basket.

    Team is better today than it was yesterday. Arguable as to whether it is remarkably better than it was when Frings and Koevermans were having their names put on the jersey. Let's hope that the expensive band aid plan works.... this time.

    Still fun to talk about.
