Mole_Toonfan Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Defoe not what we need at all. If Cisse struggles in this team in what world makes you believe Defoe would thrive? Defoe can make things happen on his own while Cisse can't. He doesn't really need support or even much service. In a team that consistently provides him with support yeah.... really not convinced he would shine in our team. We need strikers who can contribute to the rest of the team..... not the Defoe, Bent or Cisse type. Gouffran and Remy do this and surprise surprise, we improve.

So you don't think Defoe would get chances in a team with HBA, Remy, Cabaye, Gouffran? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I think it's fairly obvious we won't sign anyone now. Expecting Cabaye out to be only business for us. Shame really as a Winger and Striker would have potentially been difference between bottom half of table and 7-9th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 If we play with those players yeah.... but again i'd rather not have another striker who don't contribute outside the 6 yard box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame really as a Winger and Striker would have potentially been difference between bottom half of table and 7-9th What's more frustrating is we saw the difference a quality forward made with Remy's introduction. With another striker on the books to cover injuries it could make the difference between having an ordinary season and an absolute cracker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I make it roughly 34 hours left. It really looks doubtful we are getting anyone - I hope this means JFK won't be able to show his face at SJP this season after the exaggerations and lies.

We're 2 or 3 players away from a good season, not a side that's gonna win the league but one that can give anyone a game. And that's all most of us want as fans.

They've bull shitted everyone since they arrived, its nothing new. JfK will rock up to SJP every week and spin fantasical yarns of how he defeated the moon dragon and rescued all the earth children abducted by aliens.

What? Go and watch some of his goal compilations on yotube. I know he scores some great goals outside the box but he doesn't actually contribute to the build up of the team and he doesn't really stretch defences. If we buy a striker he needs to be able to do at least one of those things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 If Defoe was 25 and available for £6m, I'd snatch your hands off. However I'm not sure on the merits of signing 30+ year olds who are after one last big payday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I would much rather sign a player that will create chances for Cissé than someone like Defoe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 What we need is someone who has movement in the box. The amount of times already even just this season we've had hardly anyone in the box, or if they're in the box not taking up a position they could threaten has been shocking. Defoe is perfect at that and with Remy & Ben Arfa either side and Cabaye (Anita) able to pick a pass, he could be exactly what we need imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Pie in the sky and no way it will happen but Kagawa would be a great addition on loan from Manure. No idea why Moyes does not play him - not even on the bench today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I would rather someone who's mobile and is a great link-up player. We already have enough trouble building attacks as it is, getting someone like Defoe to partner Cisse would make it even more difficult for us to create sustained pressure. Ideally we need another Remy, someone who can drop deep, pick up the ball and has enough pace to run the channels. Gomis looks all right and he looks like he's someone that can play with his back to goal, which is another good asset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'd play Defoe ahead of Cisse, and I like Cisse a lot. Me too, I think we really could do with someone like Defoe tbh. We complain we don't create enough chances but too often we make nothing of our half chances. Yesterday we had 24 shots, 9 on target and a few times had the ball in the box but failed to even get a shot off. Defoe despite being greedy or not a build up type of player would have thrived on that. We need someone who will put the ball away, seems more and more that Cisse needs to have them put on a plate to score and even then (twice yesterday imo) he fails. Really hope the lad gets his confidence or whatever back, maybe getting more goalscorers into the side will take the pressure off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Doubt he'd move so far away from his family tbh. He has Had a bad few years in his personal life and that could be an issue ,love him as a player and still quick and troubles defenders big time when on his game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't create nearly enough chances for Defoe to be effective, our problem as i stated many times is strikers not coming deep to help link the play and another stretching the defence. Remy can do that and so can Gouffran to some respect but as it stands Shola and Cisse can't do f*ck all other than finish it off and with a team that plays two strikers we need forwards who can contribute outside of goals as often as possible. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2408348/Tottenham-bid-8m-Blackpools-Tom-Ince--exclusive.html Looks like Spurs want Ince.

Our other players might have more of an outlet to thread passes to rather than trying long range shots from 30 yards with Defoe in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
