    SUNDERLAND UNHAPPY WITH DEFOE OUTPUT

    Reports suggest that Sunderland are already planning to move ahead without January signing Jermain Defoe.

    The Black Cats signed the 32-year old striker from MLS club Toronto FCon a three-and-a-half-year deal believed to be worth aroud £70,000-a-week in wages.

    Defoe is currently the highest-paid player at Sunderland, but his strike rate of three goals in 13 games is not enough for the Wearsiders.

    A club source told the Daily Mirror that Defoe’s future at the Stadium of Light is already being questioned.

    “The club made a big investment and the expectation was Defoe would score the goals to help the team to safety,” said the source.

    “He did score that great goal against Newcastle, but overall he is not really doing enough.”

    load of ****e, could also try playing him in his correct position of being the main striker on the shoulder of the last man.

    It's also on The Mirror web-site : http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jermain-defoes-sunderland-future-doubt-5515093

    One in three is about all we could expect. At Tottenham (2009-14) Jermain scored 47 in 135 games, and, for England, he scored 19 in 55. But we have to bear in mind that he's playing in a much worse team here than either of those. He's probably a better all-round player, but as a striker, he's never been a Darren Bent and we shouldn't have expected it. (Having said that, Bent wouldn't score goals here either as we don't get it in the box enough for him to pounce on).

    I reckon we're getting just about what we bought.

    To make our most recent signing a scapegoat for our current predicament is just appalling and is probably a far greater insight into the myopic attitude of the executive team at the club than anything else I've heard coming out of the SoL in recent times!

    Unless Harry Redknapp gets another crack at a team with money, there's no other team who'd take him on that salary in this country.

    If you fail to stay up, he's a very bad investment. If you stay up, it won't be by much and he's already earned you 4 points with his goals alone and scored one in a 2-0 win, so call that 'contributed directly' to 7 points. That investment is worth more than what it's cost you, by about 5 times if you can avoid the bottom 3.

    "A club source" (AKA the guy who sweeps the stadium when the games finished?)

    If you don;t give a striker the ball he CANNOT SCORE!

    No-one actually knows what he's on Terry - I have heard it's 70-80k including his bonuses which is fine - basic wage is around the same as Johnson according to a lad I know who works at the club (Ticket office mind so it's amate told his mate type thing) - as for the second paragraph - couldn;t have put it better myself

    ALL of our strikers have struggled to score goals, Defoe WILL score goals but he needs decent service and a decent team around him, so far he hasn't had that. To say the club were expecting more is ****ing stupid, Messi would look ordinary in our team at the minute FFS.

    I wonder if this "Club Source" is from one of the other clubs at the bottom trying to unsettle him for the end of the season!!

    Wouldn't surprise me if it's Harry Redknapp!!

    Totally agree. At his best, his average was only 1 in 3, and this is nothing like Tottenham or England. He's averaging 1 in 4 now, and he's just had a year out in MLS. I don't believe for a minute any of the top people at Sunderland are grumbling about him like The Mirror claims. That's ridiculous.
