Defoe

[vinegar hill]

If it happens, I can't wait to see this lad 40 yards out, back to goal or chasing long punts while trying to out jump a 6ft 4inch defender.

I know this direct route one game that Sunderland always play.

The Vic.... what a dump

Its hardly a dump like, its not the greatest pub but its certainly not a dump.

This bad weather will probably put him off to be honest. At this stage in his career, he'd probably be happy staying in Canada

Iirc it can get a bit nippy in Canada

 

[Lord Alfred]

Fair do's, I accept and agree with all of that.

Thank you for that....

 

[SAFC Wilks]

tbf though he is 32 and has maybe 1 or 2 decent seasons left in him.

How many decent seasons does Jozy have left in him?

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Worried about service , if he doesnt get the service its dead money , i just hope we have a bit more to come

True. I guess I'm happy if he signs because he'd give us a bounce which is precisely what we need. I happen to believe we are better than Palace or WBA but they have had their managerial bounce. A couple more astute signings and we can back on an even keel.

 

[Wizards Sleeve]

He's a very streaky player - gets the headlines with good runs of games, but usually ends the season on 10-13 goals.

He scored a goal in England every 2.8 games (including his time at Bournemouth). Not bad, but we're going to need him fit every game and scoring from the off if he's going to justify that ridiculous contract.

9-12 more than the useless plank we are swapping him for then

tbf though he is 32 and has maybe 1 or 2 decent seasons left in him.

So 1 or 2 more than Altidore

 

[Kid Galahad]

I'll wait for confirmation. Even if it doesn't go through at least all the media reports show there was something in it.

Your kudos is safe for now marra (till next time obviously!) Bask in it!

I'm not comparing him to Dozy, in the grand scheme of things its a lot for a 32 year old.

Its hardly a dump like, its not the greatest pub but its certainly not a dump.

last time I was in there it was.... that was about 15 years ago tbh

 

[Dan The Man]

Is this really happening?

 

[johnson]

I'll take that, but what were the other two?

Said which youth players would be on bench and that PVA would start against Leeds, and said those 2 lads were going to Blackpool on permanent deals

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Fair enough is there anything wrong with me feeling our problems are a lot more than just bringing in a striker ?

No, I think you are correct but I do think Defoe is exactly the sort of signing we need. He may be 32 but he is a bit a statement signing that can give everyone a lift. If it comes off I hope Congerton gets a bit of credit because it would show the club acting decisively which is often accused of failing to do.

For the doubters.

Logon or register to see this image

That still won't be enough for some of the negative buggers on here though.

 

[Bop]

What were the other 2?

I may have called the Poyet appointment, can't remember if I shared it on here. Won at 7/1 on that one.

I've been drinking in there for circa 20 year and its never been a dump. Its nowt flash but I've been in far worse pubs that certainly are dumps.

I know this direct route one game that Sunderland always play.

Plenty of times this season we have passed the ball across the back or centre circle, been closed down, the ball inevitably ends up back with the keeper who punts it aimlessly towards a centre forward.

It worries me that we won't use him to his full potential. He is not the type of player who will fit the current system. He needs a supply line. We create fuck all. I can't imagine him getting a sniff unless we change the way we play. I don't think Gus has it in him to mix it up.

 

[Buzz]

Probably not but let's enjoy it whilst it might happen. Would be a good signing IMO

Due to you hating Catts I'm not going to give you any credit for this scoop.

You can fuck off.

He is replacing Altidore though, so comparing him to Jozy makes sense

One has a 1 in 3 strike rate in the prem, one has a 1 in 34.

Good deal
