Defoe to sign this week

[Cisseshairdresser]

Don't know why everyone's so 'up in arms' personally. He's not a bad player, but there's a marked difference in style between him and Kuyt, that's what I can't get my head around..

I think youve answered your own question there mate. People are "up in arms" (me included) because we realise there is a marked difference in the styles of play of Defoe and Kuyt. I personally feel the style offered by Kuyt is what we need at the moment, and cant see how Defoe is going to provide us with the "possibilities" we need. I am not saying Defoe is a bad player, just that Kuyt would be more appropriate for our team and probable style of play, and therefore a more positive purchase. But when its all said and done I'd be happy with the addition of a new forward and if we cant afford Kuyt then Defoe is not a bad plan B IMHO

I reckon this latest rumour is a load of bull.

according to ynwa & RAOTL Defoe is to sign this week.

Very surprised by this as we already have bellamy but dave hodgson has confirmed the rumour to be true.

What do you guys think about this?

until informer or private eye confirms i wont believe

[red g]

Yeah, for a start I can't get my head around that and secondly, I'm not exactly a fan of Defoe. Head down, no awareness....just another Cisse if you ask me.

his lack of awareness is worrying. but i think he is a very good player, one thing we are not going to be short of this year is paceif this is true

Not even close.

He's a talented striker, Spurs haven't managed to get the best out of him for a while. For the right price I'd be happy with him.

[Shaggy]

Not even close.

Very close, actually.

Try telling that to my season ticket holding Spurs mate. Drives him insane, can't wait to see him sold.

You think Cisse was bad for running offside? Wait til you see this headless chicken.

It would also mean that Crouch is no longer a starter (you would've thought). Another season of Crouch leading the line will not get us any closer to being champions.

Yup.

Yup.
