Jermaine Defoe - Poorest signing in recent memory

[My Boy Harry]

The lad has been a brilliant signing and is a natural goalscorer. We would have been knackered without him.

We all get things wrong and this is a clear example!

To be fair to the OP I'm pretty sure he's admitted he was a little strong in his original post, and that he got it wrong.

Was a car crash thread title mind

Yeah just did a week myself recently, some mag interloper reported me for offending their sensibility (yeah right). When I asked the mods why I had been banned they told me that they had no say over the banning and if I had a problem then I should send my complaint to the "owners" of the forum - any idea who these people are?????????? I haven't. But anyway fellow veteran welcome back

 

[Mrjardine]

Tbf the op is normally a very,very good posters on pure football. Offers a lot more than most on here

Agree with this. He's had bit of a mare on this thread but in general he's a good poster.

One of the all time best premier league scorers. And the op made monumental fuck up.

Bump it till the end of time for me like.!

Think Google Ads has a big say in it IIRC

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.

[Zidane]

This thread still going strong I see.

 

[gazc24]

Honestly the thought of having Jozy instead of Defoe this season would have been sickening we would have been bellow Villa

 

[janey]

Can't help but have a chuckle
Every discussion about the relegation battle on tele and radio mentions that Defoe is the reason they fancy us to stop up

Ever feel like an idiot?

 

[rentaghost]

While not agreeing with him I could see the argument he was making it the time. It was more about not being able to fit Defoe into a system which was a fair point to make. However the last line was an all time classic:

"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."

It's one of the things you absolutely can't do anything but give Congerton credit for, swopping Jozy for Defoe man

when was the last time we had a striker who scored 16 goals? TAXI!!!!!!!!!!
