Defoe

An Extremely Boring Man · 27th February 2003, 13:10

Something similar to what I've been saying since last summer:

The Mirror believe a move is in the pipeline

Ananova report:

Manchester United are ready to make a £10million swoop for Jermain Defoe if
West Ham lose their battle against relegation, says the Daily Mirror.

Sir Alex Ferguson has first option on the striker and talks have already taken
place about a move to Old Trafford.

Defoe has a price-tag of at least £10m on his head, but United believe they
could snatch him away for just £7m if the Irons drop into Division One and are
forced to sell.

VanNistelrater · 27th February 2003, 13:20

It's bollocks. Never believe anything the mirror says, We should boycot it.

LenSharkey · 27th February 2003, 17:41

i groan at the thought of that supercharged hobbit

jamesblonde · 27th February 2003, 17:53

10 million is bollox, but it would explain Fergie's praise of that loser Roeder earlier in the year - get them relegated and buy Defoe.

Btw, I'm convinced it was Fergie's "praise" that saved his job in November. It still shocks me how the media are complicit in promoting people's agendas.

Agreed,I think he's only worth 5mil

golden_blunder · 28th February 2003, 08:41

he'd turn out to be another Terry Gibson IMO

Quite possibly. On OPTA stats, he's at number 3 for offsides and he's missed almost half the games this season.

28th February 2003, 13:44

Might not be worth 10 mil but I`d still buy him.

Good player.

Goes he still out with Becks sister ?
Dangerous could affect team morale if they break up one day. <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />

Red15 · 28th February 2003, 15:01

Yes, he does. Can't remember which match it was but I remember reading that he was watching a match at Old Trafford recently with Becks' sister.

28th February 2003, 18:05

Good player, not as much potential as Cisse... not for £10m and no way at the expense of Cisse, who had a strong game last night, imagine what he could go in a world class team like ours!!!

The thought is mouth watering...ooops maybe not thats just the dribble oozing out the side of mouth from the boredom induced sleep I had from watching the dippers play last night!

Gabe · 1st March 2003, 16:11

You think United brass might have been at that game?

Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber · 2nd March 2003, 05:46

that hobbit should stay in Lord of the rings

becks_007 · 2nd March 2003, 09:03

He'z a pretty good player,he set-up the first goal yesterday against Spurs brilliantly...

4th March 2003, 10:08

He'd definitely be worth an offer. If West Ham are relegated then there's no way any club will pay £10M for him. Look at how little Middlesbrough had to spend to get Christie and Riggot (< £5M). ManU are the only big team he's likely to sign for.

Plan M · 16th January 2012, 14:20

Liverpool are interested in him according to SSN about half hour ago.

Arry said he's going nowhere in this window though.

Solius · 16th January 2012, 14:21

Do they really think he'd leave Spurs for a mid-table club?

Randall Flagg · 16th January 2012, 14:22

Well he is a finisher.

I have always been a fan of his even though his all round game is quite poor.

I hope he does not go to Liverpool

Man-United · 16th January 2012, 14:22

If Liverpool offer stupid money for him and they have a replacement in line they should accept it.
If not, then there's no reason to sell him to a rival club.

Agreed. I'd much rather him stay at Tottenham.

If Spurs bring Lorik Remy in this summer, Defoe could make way going from what I've been reading/hearing last few days.

Whether it be to Liverpool is another matter.

africanspur · 16th January 2012, 14:37

It would be bloody dangerous selling Defoe. Pav is almost certain to leave and Adebayor is by no means guaranteed to be here next season so we could end up having to buy 3/4 new strikers for next season.

We keep Defoe, he's our top scorer this season and tends to play well when there's international tournaments in the summer. And if Ade and Pav leave, I'd like the security of one recognised striker in our squad, especially as our wage structure has seemingly prohibited us from going for the likes of Llorente/Rossi/Forlan etc.

And why would we sell Defoe to Liverpool? Pav and we're talking....

Plan M · 16th January 2012, 14:40

Like I said above, SSN reported that Liverpool are interested, not that Spurs are willing to sell to them

rcoobc · 16th January 2012, 14:42

Straight swap, Defoe for Caroll?

africanspur · 16th January 2012, 14:43

Ah ok.

Liverpool seem to have a bit of a thing for Defoe, Benitez spent one January a while ago telling anyone who would listen that we were apparently desperate to swap Defoe for Cisse. If we were, I'm not really sure why he would be spouting about it like that.

Liverpool can go for Bent instead and watch as he scores goals but ruins the play of the team.

The Sun is more credible than SSN.
They have no stories and 24 hours on tv to fill.

FFS, bump a nine year old thread?

golden_blunder · 16th January 2012, 16:09

why would Defoe want to change clubs from one that challenges the top 2 to a club that challenges Bolton/Stoke/etc?

Is that the equivalent of £35m in today's money?
