That's all I'm asking for. You've said 35k. I think that's a made up figure. No but I know what one of our players is on and it's obscene, so Defoe even taking a quarter of his previous wages (20grand) for. A player his age is scandalous management Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 On 26/01/2020 at 17:14, MacBoyd said: Hes totally done.

But as a player, he's just about finished. It doesn't matter what he eats or how he trains, Father Time catches up to everyone and next year will really show that. He just keeps on proving posters wrong another goal and assist today, our top goalscorer in the league. Posters who say the problem when we play Defoe we expect him to be Morelos are right the players could not be more different but both styles work if we play the team to work to the strikers strengths. Our problem is not the strikers it is the lack of goals from everywhere else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 All strikers need service and lately our midfield couldn't service a whore in a brothel. Both his goal and his assist were a joy to behold. You can't beat quality. Considering his lack of game time, now seveteen goals and the best record in the league if not Britain for goals v game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stick he received on Sunday was ott, Defoe is a back up striker who now as you say 17 goals for the season, the team were pish on Sunday but the abuse that Defoe received was poor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our problem is not the strikers it is the lack of goals from everywhere else. Get what you're saying, he will score goals because against 3/4 teams in this league we'll create a shit load of chances & dominate possession The problem is everything else, he offers absolutely nothing in terms of link up play, goes missing for large periods of the game & if he does miss the chances he gets then it's been a waste of time having him playing (Hearts on Sunday) If he plays then it needs to be upfront with someone else, dont care if its Stewart or somebody new but starting Defoe in this 4-3-3 is like playing the match with 10 men, even last night he must have had less than 10 touches in the whole 1st half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both offer very different things our problem for me is not the strikers or the defence it's the midfield we do not score enough they have Christie and Forrest with 19 goals between them in the league. I still want at least one striker and midfielders who can score or open a team up with a pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLaudrup 4,684 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Some of the negativity towards Defoe is puzzling. He’s been superb for us since he came in and a model professional for younger players. He was poor at Tynecastle but so were the entire team. I don’t think he can be a scapegoat. His injury is bad timing certainly but he’s hardly been injury prone. His age is obviously an issue hence why his contract is for one year and if he does struggle with consistency after this it will come to an end in 11 months.

Swagger 8,151 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Defoe would still contribute if we had the players to create for him. We create fuck all though so he’s pretty much a wasted jersey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
