Jermaine Defoe - Poorest signing in recent memory

Just to clarify. He didn't score a few weeks back, I bumped this for a bit craic and was routinely told I was a cock.

Now he's scored it's bumped again :lol::lol

No accounting for stupidity like

Do you still think he's the poorest signing in recent times?
 
Defoe averages 1 goal in every 3 games in the Premier League,and that's what he's doing for us,and that's probably what he's going to do for the rest of the season.It might be enough to keep us up.If it isn't,it will be hard on him if he gets criticised for not scoring enough.

None of the points you made in the opening post were sensible though. You were better off walking away quietly, hands in pockets, whistling a merry tune...
 
Defoe is not the worst signing in recent memory, he is the best one.

Out of years and years of shite that we've bought, this is by far the best piece of business the club has done of late.

You're an idiot frankly.

I know what your point was in the original post, and I can see some of the logic. It was wrong like.

The fact that you continue to argue the toss is what makes you an idiot

Actually more like 1 goal every 2.5 matches.
 
Probably THE best striker that's played for us since we came back up imo, & that includes judas & gyan, it's just a shame we can't create enough chances for the guy, if we do from now until the end of the season then we'll stop up no problem.

Controversial view, but his signing has been a disaster.

Not so much as a player: despite being four years past his (pretty average) best, he's still our best goalscorer and an alright player.

But he turned Poyet's grinding, but solid, team into a complete shambles as Gus fannied about trying to find a way to accommodate him in the side. Convinced if he hadn't signed, we would have ground out a dull survival, Poyet would still be manager and we'd be moving on with a actual philosophy and at least trying to play good football.

Even after Poyet, Advocaat was at a complete loss how to us him, and now Allardyce his.

He's on unspeakable wages, until he's about 63, and three managers in a row have basically admitted there's no way to fit him into our side.

A genuinely, catastrophically awful signing, which we didn't need and didn't fit, which is the biggest shambles of the whole Congerton era of awfulness.
