    Back to the topic, I am a big fan of Defoe (yes, yes he's quick and black so that fulfils all my great player criteria), but I don't really see how we need him, given that we've already bought no-neck.

    Would be a bit strange, I reckon, so I'm filing under "bollocks"

        It does sound wierd, I thought we bought Bellamy because he was similar to Defoe but half the price, so it seems strange to then go and buy Bellamy mark II, except for the fact that if Bellamy gets injured we've got a chronic lack of pace AGAIN.

          I assume no-neck is Bellamy, why couldnt we play with two pacey strikers?
          Im a fan of Defoe too and he would be a great add to our team.
          Defoe-Bellamy-Robbie-Crouch would be perfect.

            By the way, I'm Welsh so may I suggest; sheep, miners, the new Pot Noodle adverts, leeks and a smattering of "isn't it?" if anybody feels the need to direct a similar rant towards me.

              The worry with Kuyt I guess is that he'd be difficult to play alongside Crouch or Fowler, he's not slow but he's not exactly a speed demon either.. hmmm..

                  This "Smokecreen" stuff is just a load of bollocks, I reckon. It's just used by some fans to persuade themselves that players they don't want to come aren't really targets.

                      Two short-arsed, diminutive, speedsters playing as a partnership?

                      Don't see it.

                          Yeah, that was a long-standing partnership all right.

                          And Fowler by that point was hardly quick, was he?

                            I know they didnt play long together...And Fowler was quick before he got these injuries...Why dont you think a partnership of 2 pacey strikers wont work?

                              No no no no no. Having pace is *always* a bonus, but Defoe and Bellamy offer virtually the same thing, and that's useless as a partnership.

                              I reckon.

                                I really don't know on this one. It has a feeling of 'settling' for Defoe if we do sign him as I thought Kuyt was Rafa's first choice.

                                I have not seen enough of Kuyt to be able to judge his ability but his strike rate is very good. As mentioned before, it seems odd that we would go for a quite different type of striker if our 'first choice' is unattainable but I guess we need a fourth striker and time is running out.
