Defoe

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

20 goals is ambitious, it all depends on how we set ourselves up and what support he gets from midfield.

Especially given that he's never scored 20 goals in a season before...

Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe is delighted Dick Advocaat will be in charge again next season and has set himself a 20-goal target for the campaign.

Like that optimism but in reality will he?

How many other strikers would dare predict that ....... praise be that we have someone that confident

 

[mawky brockett]

Good to hear Jeremiah is itching to go again

Especially given that he's never scored 20 goals in a season before...

Not in the league he hasn't but in all comps I think he has.

He still won't do it with us like.

Some canny, penetrating journalism there, evincing the news and then putting it into context, before thorough analysis and a well-thought out evaluation of the pros and cons of the arguments.

And people have the nerve to slag off Louise Taylor.

Good one jermain

Not to say that's it impossible tho, he's a naturally fit lad and if he is given plenty of goals scoring opportunities he is still capable of it. However, if he was going to ever get 20 plus a season I would have imagined his time at Spurs would have been time to do it.

Go get J D shut these sad twats up

 

[xmfd]

Let's go Jermaine! Hopefully with good service he can bang them in for us

 

[SAFCOldie]

Good lad, a bit of self belief.

 

[Mace]

I'd rather he set himself a high target and not hit it as opposed to settling for mediocrity

Let's go Jermaine! Hopefully with good service he can bang them in for us

Which is the crux of it. We need more creativity in midfield

 

[Bishop Mackem]

Well he will get 6 against the mags. (hat trick in both games) maybe 4 or 5 in cups. That leaves 9 more goals in 37 league games.

Piece of piss.

 

[KarlM]

I'll guess 10 goals.

 

[wingding]

Can't see him getting more than 10-12

Cant see him getting 10 - 12 games. Once Dick has the attacking wingers either side of CW, where he was putting Defoe, what place for him...?

 

[spoon]

been impressed with his attitude since he got here, thought he would be one of those after a last pay day when he first came to be honest

 

[Sebastien]

He'd dee well to get 20 shots this season if he's playing at wing back

 

[Deleted member 21726]

Certainly good enough to score 20 but it all depends on who we bring in to help create chances for him.

 

[LondonMackem]

Nice to hear he's confident, but anything in to double figures will probably be classed as a successful campaign for him.

 

[Perryqhill]

If he scores twenty goals we'll be in the top eight.

It'll not happen like, but when Bent scored 24 in the league and had a better team behind him we ended up 13th.

Especially given that he's never scored 20 goals in a season before...

Twice in all competitions, don't think he mentions league only.

 

[JAR7391]

It's not totally out of the question if we play to his strengths and give him good service. I think 10-15 is a more achievable target though. Tbh it would be nice for any striker of ours to get into double figures.
