Defoe

[PeruzziWatch]

Just seen Defoe about an hour ago get off the metro at Pelaw, quickly take a slash in a nearby bin and return to his seat before the doors closed.

This is happening.

Well at least he hit the bin, Jozy would have missed

People said that about Wes Brown

And look at Brown now, biggest liability in the Prem.
No doubt he's put in a good shift for us, but he should have been moved on last summer. We're stuck with him until he retires unfortunately.

 

[The Hooded Claw]

Same here, it's not my money.

Even more so when you consider the money we've wasted on utter shit over the last few years. At least we are getting - hopefully - what we are paying for.

I am not saying he won't fit in any less than Fletcher, he might be better

but the system is just useless if you want your striker scoring goals, he is so so isolated and often nobody within 40 yards of him as everyone else is behind the ball, fair enough he will get in behind and get us up the pitch but we need to get some support to the striker

I can't think of on good reason why we couldn't play Giach, Alvarez or Johnson in behind the striker instead of Gomez

what we miss? what is gomez contributing to the team

I actually agree with alot of that, I've been wanting Giacc instead of Gomez for a while now. However, I don't think it's the system that doesn't support the striker scoring goals, I actually think it's the personnel that's the problem.

Gus is constantly trying to get players to play higher, but our defenders are too slow to maintain such a high line. Don't get me wrong, I love JOS & Wes, but they drag the whole team back when they try to compensate for their lack of pace. Add to that our patchwork situation at fullback due to injury, and our inability to string a couple of passes together then isolation of the striker becomes inevitable.

We have seen the system work if we have the right players, but that will take more time.

Now that is bollocks

 

[Mowgli]

For people moaning...

How about if we signed him
For 3 years on £40k and kept Altidore along with him. Would work the same as the alleged money and the same output

 

[SAFCftm1986]

Got to give the club credit for this one.

Yes it's a long deal for a lad in his thirties and a big whack per week but we are desperate and he is a proven goal scorer.

They haven't fucked about.

… if it's true

A proven player, so yeah hopefully.
Mind you, Louis Saha was proven in this league.

A tad excessive Paxo surely.

it is

Most own goals this season hasn't he?

True but the only thing they have in common is that they are black - and play football.

he will be on double that at least if he comes

 

[Paxton]

A tad excessive Paxo surely.

Think of the amount of Brown mistakes and own goals that have cost us.

 

[SAFCftm1986]

it is

We shall see

Ere man fuck off talking sense

 

[theinediblebulk]

If true that is very promising considering alot of people were getting angry at the thought we wont pay wages for decent players.

Aye, and if he does sign there'll be some people twisting like fuck about how much we're paying him.

 

[greedminds]

We shall see

his people and the club are definitely talking and safc have come up with the money
