nemtizz Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 is he any good anymore? I'm basing my opinion on old defoe He tore apart the MLS with 11 goals in 19 games. As is Bradley Wright-Phillips though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 BWP had a decent team though, and is settled. Defoe's team was ballsack, and he didn't want to be there. And he has suffered with injuries. (I'm jus sayin' don't read too much into his MLS goal record) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Obviously goals is a massive problem for them but isn't it due to never getting out their own half rather than finishing chances? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Why is he leaving Toronto? Because Toronto is crap. The team, not the city. City's great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Good player on his day but he's robbed them blind. They've more or less matched his MLS wages and given him a job until he's 36. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 they seem 100% certain it will work out and propel their club to that next level they keep on about. Of course, because strikers that rely on their pace to create chances are renowned for retaining their abilities well into their early to mid thirties. Honestly I think they'll get a good 12 months out of him, possibly a little longer, but their problems lie in their inability to create chances. Defoe's not going to be much good when Gomez is passing the ball back to his centre half for 90 minutes and then once his legs go they'll not be able to shift him.

bhoywhonder Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Sky Sports Twitter are showing a graphic placing Defoe ninth in the top ten PL all-time scorers. The top three reads: Alan Shearer: 260 Andy Cole: 187 Wayne Rooney: 181 So by 'Mackem Logic', they really should've tried to sign one of them at the arse-end of their careers for a much needed boost of goals. *Ahem*.

He's 9th in the all time British Premier League all time scorers, 14th overall. Arguably the best ever English scorer though apparently even though the man 9 places above him in number 1 is English Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hithere Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Would be very interested to hear what our resident mackems think of this Upgrade on Jozy. If he scores goals and we stay up the next couple of seasons I think he's worth it. Hopefully it means a change in approach. If we go two up top it might mean we push further up the pitch and press more from the front. If he plays as a lone striker with no one within 30 yards of him we're going down and be lumbered with an ageing striker on a fair wedge. Saying that I think we don't sign anyone unless they agree to a relegation wage drop these days. Very much in the wait and see camp at present.

If you go two up top, it will expose your defence and the demons from the 8-0 will haunt Poyet- he will be up sweating all night with this conundrum.

Guest antz1uk Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 wonder if defoe has a relegation clause in his contract, can just see clubs rushing to take him off their hands on theose wages if they go down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
