Guest YANKEEBLEEDSMAGPIE Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I still don't rate him even if he has scored a few for Portsmouth. Only because he's English though damn right he's horrible for england but in the prem he earns a paycheck over the course of a season, that's for damn sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spurs_from_Africa Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 It depends what you want tbh. Defoe will get you goals no doubt. Even as our third striker last season, he got well into double figures. The problem is that outside of goals, he adds literally nothing to the team's play. He needs a lot of service as well. Plus, he doesn't seem to understand the offside rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that outside of goals, he adds literally nothing to the team's play. He needs a lot of service as well. Plus, he doesn't seem to understand the offside rule. well said. a few months back plenty on here wouldve swapped martins for defoe as they thought defoe addressed some of Martins' flaws (movement, touch, decision making, link up play, composure) when in fact he's worse than martins at those things. they're different players which is why i'd more compare defoe to owen. defoe can be an erratic finisher but he at least gets power behind his shots and is physically in far better shape then owen. i think he could've done a short-term job for us on loan so in that sense it is a pity we didnt attempt to get him in. but longer-term for next season he miles away from the sort of striker we should be looking at, ie a berbatov-esque number 10 to play along Martins or Owen who is fairly strong, decent in the air, skilful with good movement.

Cajun Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 As others have said (and I said before) I would prefer us just to play Martins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Liam Liam O Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I still don't rate him even if he has scored a few for Portsmouth. Agree completely. Not that a good player. There's a reason Spurs got rid, he simply isn't that good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Lol Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'm pleased that it's going well for him at Pompey. He will always score goals during the course of a season but contributes practically nothing in the spells when he isn't scoring. I've no regrets that he moved on and I think Redknapp will get more out of him than anyone else. Doing well at Pompey doesn't mean he would have been doing similarly well elsewhere.
