I think even though the OP has had a mare it's one he's happy to have

This. @Morny has had a mare, he knows it, he's bumped this thread himself a few times. You know what though, he's been on here for years and he's obviously red and white through and through. If you'd said to him at half time Defoe could win the game but his thread would be bumped again, he'd snap your hands off, it's a funny thread but hopefully, with hindsight, it's a triumphant one too, he'll be as happy as any of us if it is

Correct.
 
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.
