Loved his smile when asked.....I think he has something special going on....time will tell....new era under Sam beginning 1st January....clear the ****e out Sam....!!!!!
More going to happen in the Summer when Fletcher, Graham, Roberge etc contracts are up....but I think we are getting into Sam's specialty area here...the transfer market....going to be interesting...knows his reputation is on the line....I think there will be more than just two coming in...
I wish I knew lol....would probably sleep better...I think a central defender and a striker are a given but I think he will also bring in a "in your face midfielder" for when Catts is injured. Crying out for a left full back so that's four....all of these players will be the types to "hit the ground running". I think he's down playing the transfer market activity in case things don't come off but he knows what he wants and also what will excite the fans. Would take Kone and Townsend although Townsend wouldn't appear to fit what we want need unless he's going for the "balls for glory" strategy of a major restructure....
He has to mate....I'm sure Sam is aware of the so called 6 quality signings Dick wanted....it's time for Ellis top either sh*t or get off the pot.....with Sam there I don't think he has an option of not getting his check book out....wouldn't put it past Sam to walk if he doesn't get the support...major problem for Ellis if that happens now he has dumped his DoF....major credibility problem if that happens = end of road for Ellis...
I have a feeling either Fletcher or Defoe will be leaving next month, so we should also see another striker coming in...
wouldnt be suprised at this, especially Defoe....Having Graham picked ahead of you. masterstroke sa......not.
He has already said twice that he wouldn't dismiss the idea of Defoe going in January, our only goal scorer might I add
Have you seen the job advertisement Defoe has put out? Bet it pays a canny few quid... Just checked, 60k per year
To pay his bills, wash his socks and wipe his arse! Not enough to get out of bed and run after him! Not nearly enough!
I think he's looking towards how much cash he can generate...should get something for Fletcher...Graham will see his contract out out because who the **** is going to pay him anymore than we got rodgered for at the moment. Defoe will put the ball in the back of the net so it would be could we get an offer we couldn't turn down. Pants again...can we get a decent offer for him and bring back Pickford.....think it might be a whirlwind window.....at the moment we don't seem to have a choice...
Looking to generate cash but also to free up space on our wage bill. We need goals if we are to stay up so I would keep Defoe and try everything to offload Fletcher. Nobody would pay more than 2 or 3 million for Defoe now so we won't be getting any offers for him that we can't turn down. If he goes, it's to reduce the wage bill.
I understand he's on $60,000 a year yet he's not playing every game....presumably because of where to fit him in today's modern game. He's not a brick sh*thouse that he can play up front on his own plus his age....not a spring chicken. Maybe the thought Sam could get someone in cheaper that plays regularly and score goals too. As far as the clubs logic....gave up on that years ago....lol. Who else can splash major cash on Altidore, Graham and Fletcher as your strikers for f*cks sake...lol. Love Defoe but think he will get moved on....
