They got him on a free, if he scores 15-20 goals and they stay up next season he's paid for himself in spades for the length of his contract. Best of luck to him I say.
Like you say if he keeps them up then money well spent. And I'm sure he will be happy to sit on bench at 36 on his £120,000 a week wages Not sure that it's luck that he needs as that contract tells me it's come in bucket loads.
In fairness Defoe has impressed me this season off the pitch with his time spent with Bradley Lowery. I don't begrudge him his move, seems a decent fella.
I don't mind saying I'm massively envious of Bournemouth. It didn't seem that long ago that they were beneath us and seriously ****ed. Then they go and pan us 6-1. Shows what a good owner can do.
Apparently he's a vegan now and keeps himself in very good health, so should be good for the 3 years.
Brownie's going to have to find himself a new striker, Nike Ranger's just got banged up for eight months for online bank fraud.
Agreed, be interesting to see if the Defoe signing makes Wheelchair sign a permanent deal. Always rated Eddie Howe as a manager. Very progressive - look at what he has done with that Bournemouth side.
