Guest Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Worst. Comparison. Ever. Defoe has 216 career club goals, the vast bulk at the highest level. EDIT: That's to the Xavi/Pirlo/Noble comment, not the Cole one. If Defoe had been 10 years earlier he'd have been in the Fowler & Cole bracket imo.

Jack Flash Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Darren Bent scored the winner tonight too. Haha, yeah. He did. Fulham won at home for the first time since April by punishing a wasteful Everton in the Capital One Cup.

Mr. Snrub Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Being called Anti-Defoe for calling him average, then seeing people putting him up there with some of the best finishers the league has ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Put this era Defoe, in the predominantly English league Cole & Fowler played in and he'd have scored even more man. Brilliant striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't give a shit if anyone is anti-Defoe tbh. Calling him 'bang average' is just plain wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant striker. Don't agree with that at all. Defoe is good, Cole and Fowler are a different class compared to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Defoe is a really good finisher and a decent striker. Your mid table level striker who will get himself a lot of goals but inevitably reduce the amount of goals provided by his teammates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole & Fowler were superb, I think Defoe would have been in that bracket had he been playing at that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Fair enough man, I just can't imagine that. On another note, Norwich go 3-2 up and I put money on them to win extra time, hold on lads! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I wouldn't even put Cole in the same bracket as Fowler for finishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 It should be lambasted that we've gone from having Shearer, Sheringham, Cole, Ferdinand, Wright etc to pick from in international squads to the likes of Bent and Defoe, not putting the latter on a pedistal because they're some kind of throwback to the 90s (because they're apparently somehow comparable as players, really?). England's striking options these days are a joke outside of Rooney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Colossus Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 England's striking options in the mid-to-late-90s were ridiculous. The likes of Fowler and Sutton were scoring 15 or so a season and hardly getting a look in. Kevin Campbell has the record for most goals scored without getting a cap too.

Jack Flash Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Sutton 1 Le Tissier 8 Cole 15 Ferdinand 17 Fowler 26 Christ knows how many PL goals they scored between them but they were barely capped. Not sure how many of them were starts either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
