nufcjb Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 SSN's headline right now. They are so f***ed if Defoe does leave. No way will they get a better goalscorer than him this month. Defoe would be doing them a massive favour if he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 It would cost them maybe 50m if they go down, would be absolute madness to sell him. Unless he wants away of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Honestly don't see what Defoe has to gain by sticking around with them anymore. Their chances of survival is slim, has a manager who's doesn't believe they can stay up or even trust his players, an utter dump of a place and will probably be sold in the summer anyways. If he moves back to West Ham, he'll be in London again, would probably still play Premier League football next season and be on better money. They won't get £30-50m that they're dreaming of for Pickford. Should probably just name their price now and get the money they need for Defoe.

TK-421 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Defoe might be settled in the North East. After all, he started seeing some married lap-dancer from up here, didn't he? http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/543093/Tony-Calvert-Jermain-Defoe-Rachel-Calvert-Christian-Sunderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 "West Ham determined to sign Jermain Defoe. Will pay what it takes to get deal done. Have told Sunderland to name their price #WHUFC" why? Sure he scores goals, but a couple months into next season he'll be 35. Being that determined ("name any price", "pay what it takes" etc) makes little sense from a West Ham point of view for what? 1 good season left in him? ..unless they're shitting the bed that much about this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Might need a transfer request before it happens. Can't see them continuing to bid unless they knew he wanted to join them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thing is, at 34 year old there has to be a ceiling to what Sunlun can realistically expect to receive, and what any club is can be expected to pay, even with todays football money and crazy fees. They clearly think they have a Sissoko situation on their hands and can ask for stupid money. However, if he decides he wants to go and they price him out of a move, then they potentially have an unhappy (maybe even unmotivated) player on their books for another few months. Alternatively, they sell him and then any fee they get may just be absorbed into the club debt anyway. This could be a lose-lose situation for the Mackems now.

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 They clearly think they have a Sissoko situation on their hands and can ask for stupid money. not really, they clearly know he's their only goal outlet for the most part and if they let him go they're down had they been mid-table i think they'd accept a decent bid for him given his age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 It all comes down to the player, if Defoe fancies one last run at West Ham before he hangs up his boots then its in Sunderland's interests to get as much as they can for a 34 year old player, they wont get mega bucks tho. Its in Defoe's hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 As hilarious as it would be, I don't think there's even the slightest chance that they'll sell him. If they did I think Moyes would walk as well, and rightly so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Defoe is certainly going to be tempted by this, will get a wage improvement at West Ham and the opportunity to move back home at the end of his career. A fantastic situation all round though, this will definitely unsettle them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Surely its a no brainer on Defoes side at least Born like 2 miles from Upton Park, his boyhood (and youth) team want him for what will probably be his last contract in football. Fucking hell if this was me & Newcastle and I was playing at like.. Swansea now I'd be handing my transfer request in ASAP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Pardew takes over, gets them relegated along with Fat Sam and Palace, we go up as champions with Chrissy Hughton in 2nd place and everything's right with the world.
