This is probably nothing......or is it??...............was watching the press interview with Gerrard and he made mention of how he had wishd that they could carry a 24 man squad so that Defoe could have stayed. Said he was sad to see him make way for Shrek's return and that he was a talented player. Just struck me that and felt it odd that he would make mention of it the way he did. Perhaps hoping they could play together to see if they could form a partnership before the upcoming season? I do like Defoe and think he could do a job up front for us, has a much better footballing brain than Cisse and obviously knows the English game plus he's got loads of pace.
