It is, but then Levy is a business man and he is looking for the best deal he can for us, I was honestly surprised when we managed to find someone willing to pay 6 million for Mido.

im glad you arent on our board
I am surprised that with Jermain's contract running down no one has suggested to him a quite simple solution. I would offer him a one year extension to his contract with a clause in it saying if a club comes in with £10 Million then you are free to go to them, and if he decideds he wants to stay at anytime then he can sign an improved contract with this clause removed, this way both parties are happy.
Jermain Defoe will not leave on a free transfer and Spurs will get a substantial fee for their asset, if he decides to leave the club at anytime then he will be able to.
The only problem I can see is if Defoe decides that he wants to go on a free transfer and earn the big bucks or if the club want to make the most off their asset. If either is true then there is a problem. If Defoe does not agree to the contract, and there is no reason why he should not, then sell him. End of.
Another point if Villa are willing to stump up the cash for Defoe, an offer of part exchange with Agbonglahor or Luke Moore might not be such a bad idea.
is Sky Andrew his agent?
I think it's time to say Goodbye to Jermaine. He's defiantly a Yiddo, but a world class striker like Defoe should not be sitting on the bench year after year. Three world class strikers is enough for the club and that will give the youngsters ample opportunity to shine in the first team.
Fulham paid £6m for Diomansy Kamara (and the Barcodes for the Emmerdale Eminem).
It's one thing getting the best deal for the club, but if we fail to land a player we really want for the sake of £2m (peanuts these days, let's face it) isn't that rather cutting off your nose to spite your face?
god defoe is overrated. his shots to target ratio is low his shots on target to conversion is low, his games to goals is low. he's deceptively slow, he's greedy, his running is poorly timed his decisions on and off the ball are enigmatic to say the least. Defoe Underwhlems me as a footballer to extradordinary degrees. He'll sit on every bench from 8th upwards. If he's lucky enough to get the opportunity to sit on the bench for Chelsea and pick up a medal for his 11 starts, then he should bite Jose's arm off at the elbow.
is Sky Andrew his agent?
Oh yes.
Actually, it's pretty good, but there isn't much else there I'd disagree with. Even for Pompey and Villa he's not going to be an automatic first choice, and those saying he'll suddenly blossom when he moves on need to take a long hard look at his record.
