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...
Guest Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'd play Defoe ahead of Cisse, and I like Cisse a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Pretty sure he wants to stay in the North West due to family... Everton and good fit for him... 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.

Cajun Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 We got the ball in and around the box loads of times, just either failed to get a shot off or weren't clinical enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they definitely need him..... Its ok, we will take Townsend. Defoe's movement and instinct is more dangerous than Cisse's around the box. 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...

Think Remy and Defoe would be a great strike force or Cisse and either of those 2 ,small man playing off Cisse/Remy with better width and more penetrating midfield passing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'm not sure how true these stories are concerning Ince but out of all the clubs that have been linked with him I do think we would be the best team for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Would love the Moussa Sow stuff to be true, sadly doubt it. I always tend to believe stuff more when it comes from the opposite end than ours. When it comes from our end it's more likely to be us trying to appease the fans, "we're trying", etc. but there's no reason for a Turkish media source to simply make up a €12m bid up and that he's linked to us & Stoke.

Dokko Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 He was on something daft like £50kpw at citeh, then moved to Chelsea, then to Liverpool. At what stage do we get blown out of the water wage wise? I personally don't think he'd have come here anyway, was always more ambitious than that.

"We shop solely in France because English players are far too expensive" It was the same with Moses tbh. Yes English players are expensive, but those two actually weren't. Sturridge especially had a fantastic pedigree and was only 22 at the time. Anything over £8m and Ashley's eyes start watering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
