Sifu Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Defoe Can't believe he's almost 29 actually, he's definitely at the wrong end of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Don't think he'd even consider us. London lad, wouldn't move up here and at 10m I wouldn't want him to. Probably too old at 29 too. Complete non-starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 He's better than what we've got, but inconsistent and at the wrong stage of his career to be anything other than a bit of a let down. Shits on Crouch mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Signing a young player for £15-20m would probably be a lot better investment (like Sturridge) And neither will happen.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Said earlier, don't rate him much. Not to mention the fact he's certainly on the decline now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 We won't pay £10 million for Defoe (nor should we do so). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Similar price and would have a similar wage demand as Zog to come up here, so no chance in hell of this happening. Good thing mind as Defoe's no good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 He's had one bad season due mainly to injury. Not worth that sort of money but for half the price or so I'd snap their hands off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'd take him as backup, I reckon he's decent enough and would be good coming off the bench, offering a different style, nicking a goal etc. But for nowhere near £10m, nor would he come up here to play second fiddle so complete non-starter.

Carlito Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I doubt there's any mileage in that Defoe story, but he would be our best striker by some margin if he joined. Would much prefer someone with their best years ahead of them though tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I hate Defoe's style of play. Someone like him should be playing off the last man, but he always comes deep to get the ball and tries to do everything, which usually ends with him just putting his head down and shooting wide from 35 yards. Such a greedy player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Defoe's a limited player but let's not kid ourselves, he's a significant improvement on what we currently have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I think Defoe's a cracking little player and would work well with the help of a creative midfield. He'd latch onto through balls played in by Cabaye, HBA and Marveux for example. I'd love him here but as mentioned, he's played in london his whole career if I recall, so may have trouble adapting to Greggs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Why do people believe this s*** about Defoe, if you read the story it even says preparing a bid for Defoe IF Erdinc doesn't sign. How does the reporter know we might bid for Defoe if we dont get Erdinc, he doesn't he is just going by what Pardew said about getting a striker in and in that Pardew was probably talking about Erdinc anyway, it utter fantasy, we know the rules by now, we are never signing anyone whos 29 and/over £7m at that age, same goes for Crouch, all players signing will have resale value, thems the rules laid down by (sensible if take a unbiased look at it, if we do actually spend money on a transfer fee that is) the fat slob in charge.

Chris_R Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 No way can you do Portsmouth to London in an hour ffs. Anyway, Defoe is a decent enough player and a vast improvement over what we have. However he's 29, has maybe 2 or possibly at a push 3 decent seasons left in him at best and then he'll be massively in decline, plus he'll want massive wages and a long contract. If he was on a free, I'd take him. For £10m, Spurs can fuck right off. If we give them £10m then they'll go and use it to buy the sort of striker we should be looking at, ie someone young and with ambition and talent. Instead of taking Defoe off their wage bill and giving them a ridiculous fee in the process we should make them keep him and sign someone younger and better instead.
