Mr. Snrub Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 How many attacks does Defoe break up simply by getting the ball, putting his head down and shooting. So frustrating. He's a greedy cunt and he only managed 4 goals this season. Definitely wouldn't be excited at the prospect of signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I wouldn't mind him if he signed for reasonable wage and fee.. -+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Defoe would be a terrible signing. All indications so far point to us going to the continent for signings, there's little value in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chubby Jason Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Playing regularly as the No.1 striker at the club he'll get 15+ a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Playing regularly as the No.1 striker at the club he'll get 15+ a season. Problem is we are planning on playing Ben Arfa in behind a striker and I can't see those two working too well together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 little bit knee jerk tbh, we can certainly do better but he is streets ahead of what we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is we are planning on playing Ben Arfa in behind a striker and I can't see those two working too well together. I think it could work a la Beardsley/Cole tbh. Think Defoe thrives on throughballs and balls pulled back to him rather than crosses. Think we'd be well suited to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chubby Jason Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I really don't think we're in any position to totally disregard a goal-scorer like Defoe, some of the comments on here regarding him have been ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they are all mediocre. No matter how a team plays, you're center forward to score goals. There's no reason to pay an inflated fee for someone who had such a poor season.

A goalscorer who scores 8 goals in all competitions? It's clear to see that the team does not play to his strengths any longer and he is in-and-out of the team, as I already said he'd bang in plenty of goals for us if we were willing to play him every week and cater to his style.

He always seems to get around 10-13 a season which is pretty impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Why the fuck would we want to cater to Defoe's style though? He's a small striker, in both size and style, he offers no work rate, or physical presense that could help us up top. All he has is decent strike and a turn of pace which has netted him a slightly above average goal record. Absolutely useless signing for the price he would cost us.

Ameritoon Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Almost 29, coming off the worse season of his career. Like I said, whatever we would have to pay for him would be too much. He's shown nothing lately to warrant someone to believe he can score goals if he starts regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I've always quite liked Defoe as a player. If he was going to cost £10m+ and be on £80k a week or something then you can forget about it, but I think he'd potentially be a good player for us at the right price.
