Bobby Hume 12,993 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Over the moon with this deal ..... to have someone of his calibre in all areas is a major win win situation for us ..... when you think of some of the signings we have had to suffer over the last eight years .... this is one of the best who actually has a gift for a goal when it counts ..... just like Alfredo. He is also one of the only players who actually gets what we are all about .... proper class act ....... I'm over the "fucking" moon actually ...... when "moon" is just not good enough .....

I’d be surprised if he has taken a pay cut to less than 20k a week in his last earnings season. Knowing he could have one last big hurrah on 50-100k in China. If it is 20k then great. His experience will be valuable and at 38 he probably will still be good enough for one more season. If it’s 40k I’d say I’d rather take the money and have a punt on a few more strikers that might pay off or use those wages to attract someone of a higher calibrate to replace Morelos. I tend to bring this up quite often but people (I think) then to overlook the lack of transfer fee. So if we didn't sign Defoe we would most likely have to pay to bring someone in, who doesn't know the club and would be very unlikely to be of the same impact and influence of Defoe. If Defoe is on 40k a week for a year then that's the equivalent of paying someone else 20k a week and about £1M on a transfer fee for the same year. Defoe on £40k a week is a bargain, with his experience, his ability to be the most prolific striker in Scotland despite being 2nd choice, accepting that he's 2nd choice and mentoring the other strikers. That's what he brings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at his age only getting worse. he looked legless, slow and weak today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Today has shown he’s never a lone striker. Too small to win the balls in the air and too slow to run in behind. He’s a poacher, and a very good one but he needs someone with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valance1690 3,821 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 A complete and utter waste of wages. Aye he'll score some goals because he used to be quality and has a tiny bit of that left in him but at the end of the day hes a 37 year old who is done The money on his wages shouldve been spent on 1 or even 2 young promising players who we could develop as backups to Morelos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking team performance. This is the thing. Defoe needs service or it’s like playing with a man down. Even when Morelos isn’t scoring he’s battling with defenders, dragging them all over the place, setting up goals, etc. Defoe is never a lone striker and when we’re up against it he’ll offer is nothing.

OrangeRab 2,699 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 You get what you saw today. Lost half a yard of pace. No ability to hold the ball up, bring others into the game or be an aerial threat. so you’re left with very very little in tough away games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,689 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 He's a great poacher but that's about it. No way he should be playing 90 minutes. Mebude should be on the bench instead of umteen wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
