Defoe is 39 years old!
Just ponder that for a moment!
39 years old!
I thought Rowett wanted players in who were much younger, thereby bringing the average age of our players down, across all positions? What other club in the Championship has a 39 year old forward playing for them?
By all means sign him up on the attacking forward coaching part, as with his knowledge and experience, he would do wonders for Afobe, Oloafe and Lovelace (if the latter two can get any 1st team games), but God, no, keep him away from the playing side of it!
