LesPaul 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. That's not saying anything though. Said that tongue in cheek. Difficult to convey through text. I just wanted a chance to piss off the Yanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Defoe's game is about more than pace to be fair. Fires his shots very quickly with little back lift catching out goalkeepers and seems to score a lot of his goals from distance in open play. Not injury prone either for somebody relying on pace if I remember correctly. I think he will definitely keep them up this season and next, which will have made the investment more than worth it. Whether the length of the deal comes back to bite them in the arse after that will depend on how quickly he tails off, but I don't think it's a bad deal at all personally, especially when you factor in they've got rid of Antiscore. Yes, they overpaid a little (wages mainly), but then they have to or no player of his ability would even contemplate joining them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Tbf Jozy has played sparingly this season, so it's not as if he's holding them back. He's just kinda...there...and they're crap regardless. Defoe's still got goals in him, if he can be provided service. They're overpaying, sure, but he's not a bad addition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defoe does shoot at every given opportunity, every time he gets the ball he hits it for a shot like my 8 year old playing FIFA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Mackem 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. The next level at the minute is not being involved in a relegation fight season after season. I've always thought Defoe was a very good striker, and was underused at Spurs. He'll hopefully give us two things we are lacking. A striker that gets regular goals, and some pace up front. Yes it's a gamble, but it's one I'm 100% behind.

Had completely forgot about that, used to do my head in when he did that it's not a bad trait for a striker to shoot a lot, but he took it to new levels.

Karjala Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 As already mentioned, Defoe was regularly rumoured with moves to other clubs but wouldn't leave London, then Toronto came up on good bucks and he was off. Now he finally wants to move North, conveniently on £80k a week for 3yrs. And he is 32. He might keep them up this year, but that's about it... Nufc have made some ridiculous big-money moves in the past, but not this ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 He will never be "back" because he is nothing more than an OK striker. He will continue to score buckets of goals in shit leagues when his confidence is high, and one day he'll probably get an offer to go to a good league again. If he had any sense, he'd reject it.

Can't think of a worse record than that. Shola's overall record amounts to something near to 1 goal in every 6 games, While Jozy is 1 in every 35.
