My understanding is Defoe is on his way back as we type.

If anyone says Ferdinand surely has to be brought back now, I'll scream

If I was Ferdinand and they asked me come into the squad now I'd tell them to stick it where the sun doesn't shine. If I wasn't good enough before, then I wouldn't be good enough now... footballing reasons and all that you understand

Condolences to Defoe & his family.

Hopefully Carroll will come good as I took a game in my Sky team and opted for him & Torres
up front with that Russian striker.

Ferdinand is past it now and shouldn't have been in the squad the young guns are the future and putting Rio on the bench would have benefitted no one and caused friction within the team due to Terry being there.
