Finally linked with a decent striker!!

Jermaine Defoe is today being linked with newcastle (sorry if this is old news), finally a decent premier league striker who is a realistic target, both newcastle and sunderland are said to be interested, and even though this season he has been poor, i remember last season he was amazing.
he's just the sort of striker we need, small, quick and can finish, imagine him, gremio up front, gervinho (lol) and ben arfa on the wings and tiote and barton in the middle, we would be unstoppable, dont you wish real life was football manager.

 

Not the striker we need IMO

 

Defoe is massively overrated. He's being kept out of the Spurs side by Crouch. Crouch!! I think he's getting on a bit as well. Last year he just hit a purple patch where everything he struck went in, he's not a clinical finisher who'll get you 20 goals he a hit and hope kind of striker like Martins, who'll score spectacular goals now and then.

 

mentioned it yesterday if fit and willing to take a massive pay cut then yes
but unfortunately defoe at the present time = treatment table + mega bucks............Michael Owen anyone

 

Agreed, hes only scored like twice in a year from open play (or something outrageous like that).

Pards is hinting at playing one up top as well, and he's not that kind of striker either.

 

Defoe.....speech impedament mother ****er

 

No thanks

C,mon Berbatov you know you want to

 

would rather have Defoe than Cole tbh

 

Aye but absolutely nobody wants Cole!
I'm with Jacky on this, lets get Berba!!!

 

Berbatov
Gameiro
Sow

Any of these and I'll be sound as a pound.

 

Two out of three aint bad either!

 

Berbatov would be an awful signing. He's 30, would cost over £10m, astronomical wages and he's ****ing spent. Would've been a decent signing five years ago.

 

Nah, we already know Nolan will be in the starting line up, so leaving him out is pointless...

We also already know that Ben Arfa is going to play in the whole behind a single striker...

So we need a big, strong striker who can hold the ball up and invite people on to play off him...Defoe is not that player!

 

I really really do not want a big strong stiker. I'm sick of this target man role. We'll just end up playing hoof ball again.

 

We just need a brilliant out and out striker who has all the atributes
we don't need another Carroll as we get sucked into playing hoof ball without a plan B and we will get caught out time and time again!

 

Give us your sick and your needy ...................................................

 

Yep, we'd get the most out of Jonas and Ben Arfa if we have a more skillful/technical striker like Gameiro. We won't have to resort to long balls into the box which, let's face it, is what we pretty much relied on when Carroll was here.

 

Ola Toivonen.......

 

So good that Crouch and Pavuchnckon are keeping him out

 

What's all this about a striker, AGAIN? We've got Shola!!
