Not having an opinion is nowt to be embarrassed about marra. No one will hold it against you. Just do a bit of googling and weigh up the pros and cons then dip your toe into the water. If your opinion turns out to be right then you can dig it up, if youre wrong hopefully nee one remembers. Its only tinternet.

Give me a proven premier league player of class like Defoe ahead of ne'er do wells and nobodies like the likes of Alcaraz, Buckley, Gomez, Altidore and all the other half assed muppets who have darkened the stadium over the last few years. We've done well out of O'Shea and Brown, the last two aged but class players that we got through the doors.

Aye it might be a bit much and the deal might be too long but who knows. and tbf I couldnt give a shit. If we go down this year that might be five years out of the PL and we cant afford that, thats for sure.

This, football's about the here and now and if he does the business for us this season and we get one more good season out of him then great. He'll still have some value if one of the London clubs come knocking if he's missing the bright lights. The important thing is, he gets us out of the shit we're in atm and being proven at this level, I can't think of any I'd rather have out of the ones that we can realistically attract.
 
he plans to play till he is 40 - even at 40 you know he`s gonna be better than altidore,graham ,soccocco , el hadj diouf , david healy , prica etc etc etc - at last we are investing in real quality

Fuck you on about? I think it would be a cracking deal.
 
£70k week wages being reported, highly doubt we would offer all that, it's more than likely the other team is supplementing his wages plus Altidore goes the other way on a paycut.

Not claiming to be ITK here but I've just had a mate ring me to say he's had a tip off that Defoe is signing for us tomorrow. He has no connection to Sunderland this lad so would be a random one for him to make up. He wouldn't tell me who is source is, but through his job I imagine he has a few decent contacts.

Just put £20 on it at 2/1 in case - he's put £100 on it.

Will wait and see.

Good signing, 33 in October though. If he was 1/2 years younger would be much better on that sort of deal but then again if we didn't offer him a lengthy deal he would probably go to someone better. The reported 80k per week and a 3 and a half year deal sets up the rest of his playing career pretty much so it will be a massive draw for him.

Just need some players to pass it to him now.
