There is no other striker, in fact player, in the league scores that. 

And he made it look easy, its a worldy. the techniques unreal, best finisher in the league, this is the perfect scenario for us and him, few better for our strikers to learn from.

Genuinely a magnificent decision from the club. Im delighted he’s with us and he won his first league with us. A more professional mentor for the first team and beyond we couldn’t hope to have, and if required we know we’ll have the top finisher in the country coming in. With European games etc we will need him.

Delighted with this.

Far too early to tell if he could be a successor to Gerrard but we will see. Clearly loves the club.

I actually thought about that, how mad would it be if Defoe ended up being manager

What do you actually base this on?

He started 3 league games last year and played a total of 422 minutes. With Sakala incoming he goes further down the pecking order.

He hardly contributed to 55 on the park tbh.

His main contribution will be off the field this season IMO.

Just what he's 'hearing' from sources at the club imo

Think he'll still get minutes and probably still score goals , in honesty its been more about keeping him ticking over rather than being of massive consequence to the team but its his contribution off the field and on the training pitch that most excites me most moving forward.

When he was at sunderland, off his own back he was taking the two young strikers who were keeping him out the team for extra training sessions, that's the measure of the man. Fantastic role model off the pitch and so much to give as a coach.

Good job he's a player coach then.

No more outlandish than the thought of Steven Gerrard becoming our manager once was tbh.

Hopefully a long way off , he's just beginning his journey into coaching but there's no doubt he'll be ambitious.
