According to ‘Orrible ‘Arry Portsmouth want “in excess of £20 million probably” for Jermaine Defoe, pretty much pricing out all potential buyers apart from Manchester City of course.

That hopefully includes Villa. Why hopefully?? As I mentioned in a previous post, it’s widely reported that MON offered Defoe a contract at Villa before and he turned us down for the money Pompey were offering. So, not only would it be a slap in the face to have to now offer him a better salary, but to possibly pay Pompey three times what they paid for the player?!?

No, I don’t see Jermaine Defoe coming to Villa Park. That of course is assuming that earlier reports and ‘Arry’s thoughts are accurate. Yeah, OK, I know what you’re thinking… but I still don’t see it happening.
