Jermain Defoe

[Number_25]

Let me start by saying that this hasn't been speculated properly yet, but it seems that the troubled striker is on his way out of White Hart Lane.

He only played 22 games last season (the majority of them off the bench) as 'appy 'arry looked toward Crouch for his main striker instead of the poacher.

Arsenal are linked but I don't think he'll go there.

Consistent goalscorer and Newcastle getting Demba Ba should see their interest dwindle.

£7m should be enough?

We don't have £7 million. Or £7 for that matter.

Would love him here cus he the goal poacher we've surely been cravin. Only issue is he'd have to play in a 2 and with proper wingers ! More likely a none starter than a goer based on that I'd say.

When its says transfer rumour it's much better if it is reported elsewhere. Rather than someone creating fantasy teams.

Defo.

We've sold Pienaar and Vaughan which hasn't been spent yet. Also, Yak and Yobo should be on their ways out. Moyes won't get all that money to spend but we would have 7 million you'd imagine.

Don't put any money on it at the bookies.

Probably the boredom, or the lack of rumours I'd say, but see ya point.

Pienaar and Vaughan money has probably gone on servicing our "managable" debt.

I can't see anyone coming in that's not a free or loan until Moyes reluctantly sells to generate funds, of which he will only get 80% to reinvest.

I'd have him in a flash and most defintely for 7M. I even think we could cobble up 7M to get him.

Rumor or not, the problem is that he won't be sold for anything near 7M.

I'd say in upwards of 10-15M.

Quality post

Tottenham in general are a bit peculiar, and Defoe fits into the system of uncertainty there. Supposedly the season just passed was all about Gareth Bale, and to a point (Europe) it was, but, VDV and Modric were seemingly the most important attacking players Spurs utilised. But why was this? Both played in the advanced midfielder role, and were able to take advantage of space created by pace on the left (Bale), pace on the right (Lennon) and either pace upfront (Defoe) or more usually a target man to feed off when the ball was delivered from the flanks (Crouch). Proper defenders and wide midfielders prepared to work and track back denied Spurs this space and time and so their game plan was nullified.
And people at Goodison criticise Moyes for no plan B.
So far as Defoe goes, he requires the service Beckford still doesn't get, and is far less likely to get the headers Becks does as he is notably smaller and lighter.
We can all bang on about this striker and the next and the next after that, it wont make any difference until something significant changes in midfield.

I'd rather have Beckford, in all honesty.

Edited the fist post to make it a bit more eyecatching.

By starting this rumour thread it's become a rumour but it wouldn't have been a rumour without the rumour thread! It's all a bit paradoxy!!
