Very strange, I had high hopes for the lad when kimpi got injured early November, he scored a brace for the u23. Wonder if it was a timing thing with his contract, we should have tied him down earlier but didn't show any interest under Donald?This probably explains why he’s completely dropped off the radar.

good move for the lad. I’m relaxed about it but it again highlights how bad we are / have been with tying players to contracts.

Fair play to him. Didn't do Defoe any harm.
Oh I don’t blame him. Just can think of much better places to play for ”football” reasons. I’d have loved that type of opportunity at 21!Ended his England career, but I guess that was happening anyway.
I find it impossible to blame the lad. Go and live in Miami, play for Beckham... aye that’s decent.
Good luck to the lad. Not like Maja he’s done nowt to show he was stepping up, and at 21 you’d expect to have seen some progress, given we are third tier.
Scored for fun, 7 in 10 games, wish Donald had managed to tie him downEnded his England career, but I guess that was happening anyway.

What I meant with the Defoe comment was it didn't end his career, even into his 30s.Ended his England career, but I guess that was happening anyway.

Must go down as possibly the greatest transfer business our club has ever done?Aye, could actually argue it gave him some hunger back he missed the more competitive game.
He certainly didn’t come to us off the pace or in bad shape.
I’ll never wrap my head round swapping him for Altidore.

or the biggest robbery since Ronnie Biggs??
Early retirement at his age ...
... absolutely pathetic in my opinion.
