He won't leave London and Jol doesn't rate him - so QPR, Reading or Southampton.

Jol rates him. Keane built up a good partnership with Berbatov and Jol recognised this. If Berba hadnt been at the club im sure Defoe would have been first choice under Jol like all other times at the club.
But Defoe and Jol had a really good relationship. My friend has a box at the club so I was able to see a few things first hand back in those days and people use to ask Jol about our strikers, he genuinely thought they were all fantastic and Defoe was unfortunate not to play more.

They are commutable though - like Pompey was. It's not like having to go to Sunderland, Stoke or Bolton.
He rented a place near Portsmouth though. Obviously his home is London but he wasn't commuting every day.

I am of course as most of you know a big Defoe fan but I am convinced for the sake of his career he has to move on. And when he comes back to the Lane to play against us I for one will be giving him a standing ovation

It is irrelevant whether he has a place in our squad, the fact is he needs to somewhere where he can enjoy the rest of his career. It is not like if we made CL football and he stayed he would have any chance of starting a CL league match unless it was a dead rubber

Not a chance, well not unless they get a new manager. Defoe will never be a target man!
Anyway Chris Hughton's Birmingham are coming up in any case.

I suspect its more a question of if we want to keep him, rather than if he wants to stay

I was thinking that too... bit of a 'Teddy/Jurgen'-esque hero's return!
If they DON'T get up, then he'll probably follow Harry to HIS next club!!! (jus' sayin')
and failing THAT, then somewhere like Villa or QPR

...which is the TOTAL opposite scenario for both Bale & Modric, I fear!

Defoe is a dying bread of striker at the moment. He is in the mould of Lineker and owen before him. With more teams playing false 9's the ephasis these days is on players being able to do more with the ball that just hit the target. With lots of teams becoming more defensive in set up the strikers need to be able to hold the ball up or have some workrate or skill to retain possesion or hassle the opposition. You just done see many strikers now that have just one major skill.
I JD, but he needs to play in a 4-4-2 which is a formation out of vogue at the moment. He will always get goals, no matter where he plays. But when he plays against the top teams he just gets shut out.

Defoe will also be in his 30s shortly, so really we need to sell now or we'll have no return on him. That type of player doesn't really have a long shelf life, unlike more skillful or powerful players. Both Lineker and Owen didn't have much of a career past 30 when their acceleration started to wane like Defoe's is doing.
