Jermain Defoe has dismissed reports of a January move to QPR and insisted that he wants to see out his career with Tottenham. Speculation has emerged that the England striker is a top target for new QPR boss Harry Redknapp when the transfer window re-opens on New Year's Day. But Defoe, Spurs' leading scorer this season with 10 goals in all competitions, claims he has no intention of linking up with Redknapp for the fourth time in his career. "That's not going to happen. I'm not leaving Tottenham, I love the club and to score goals at a big club like this is fantastic," Defoe told Sky Sports News. "If the opportunity comes to leave the club it won't be happening. I don't want to leave, I'm a Spurs player - and I'm happy. I'd like to finish my career at Tottenham. I want to achieve something special here - it's a great time to be at the club." Spurs moved to fifth in the Premier League after Wednesday's 2-1 win over Liverpool, and Defoe is confident they can sustain their challenge for a Champions League place. "I thought the performance against Liverpool was great. It was a massive win," he added. "Character is key and the lads who've come in have been fantastic. With the quality we've got it's important to go on a run and we're capable of doing that." Defoe also offered his full backing to Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas, who has struggled to win over the fans since succeeding Redknapp in the summer. "It's difficult for any manager - when you come in you've got different ideas," said Defoe. "It wasn't the best at Chelsea but that happens. It's part of life and being a manager, but he's a fantastic manager and been fantastic for me. "There's always a different approach each game and he's such a nice guy. All the lads want to fight and win for him. I'm just enjoying the journey and I'm sure he is as well."
Mate strictly speaking that's not true but can't be bothered getting into an argument with you over it yet again
PLEASE tell me that was said with a large dose of irony Cerny..............cos if not that is the funniest post on this board EVER.
No it's actually even funnier if you DID mean that with irony. Proves you can laugh at yourself. If I knew how to give you rep I probably would
That will last as long as Spurs are winning and he is getting picked. Can't really see why he would come to us anyway as HR has bought him and promptly dropped him on a couple of occasions. The same can be said of Robbie Keane. He especially would cost far too much in wages and i doubt whether he would reproduce his best football for us. Every manager has his favourite players. I think though we should have learned by now that just because they have played for the current Gaffer before is no guarantee of success. Think of Hughes. I think about the millions spent on Zamora, Johnson, Onuoha and Wright Phillips. Hughes did not buy SWP for us but he did persist in playing him instead of shipping him out immediately. Anyway, I thought that Defoe was a definite done deal last January and in the last transfer window?? I would actually prefer to think that Redknapp has seen some other useful players who are not already in the limelight who he has his eye on. That would be more like a birthday present where you don't already know what it is and look forward to unwrapping it because of the surprise factor.
