Defoe to sign this week

[univofchicago]

And Didn't Dave Hodgson say last Jan that SWP was nailed on to be a red??

I have never heard of Dave Hodgson. Besides that 'howler', whats his overall 'insider' track record like?

To be honest, I don't know mate. I just happened to log on to ynwa in Jan and he was on there saying how SWP was ours. PLenty of other ynwa posters seemes to believe him though.

Defoe is a quality player, certainly a better finisher than Keane (though I am a big fan), I just think it's a case of him not fitting into Jol's thinking, for one reason or another (ala Cisse with us, though better).

He'd add more pace anyway, which is what we need upfront, given Bellamy's the only pacy option we have and he's proved himself to be injury prone.

Kuyt would be great as an improvement on Crouch, though there's no guarantee he would be a success. Defoe would be a good alternative, but would offer different qualities, which would put huge question marks over Rafa's reasoning for bringing him in, given it would mean a different approach to the options we'd have with Kuyt.

You should make your move here permanent.

Is it hard to sit down with univofchicago's tongue up your hole Mark ?

[mark1975]

haha, I'm quite enjoying the flattering comments actually, like I said, "I like it here"

[Le Chacal]

Ha !

KT was exactely the same when I joined 4 years ago...Banned posters, DJ, Dunk aliases, self-proclaimed "insiders...

I used to like reminiscing but it just brought back memories!!

Anyway this Defoe lad ......

There's only one reason I;d be unhappy if he signed for us. It'll mean somebody can claim their "Defoe is nailed on" statement was somehow true.
