Same herenot happy about this, i want him to go
I smell Sky Andrew in all of this and that's one smell I don't like.
Isn't defoe contracted until summer 2009?
Thought that the contract talks were to prevent this going into the final year.
JD's contract is until 31 December 2009 - he signed for 4 1/2 years in April 2005, commencing on 1 July 2005. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/4498321.stm
Defoe has said afew times that he is happy at Tottenham as a club and with the fans, that is enough to be happy at the club yet still have problems beind the scene, ie hardly ettign any game time.
Maybe he doesnt want to leave, but wishes to stay at a club he likes, and all he wants is a chance to play :shrug: all the club has to do is tell him if he will get enough games/gametime/chances to make him want to stay, maybe its the club keeping Defoe waiting?
JD has still done nothing wrong. Jol did not like him and treated him poorly. We are still in the honeymoon period with Ramos who in truth must still be assessing what we have. Honesty is necessary here. I fail to see how some supporters think JD has had 'chances'. Between the Tottenham and England set-ups he has been treated terribly for the last eighteen months. His time will come. I just pray that it is while he is with us.
I see where you coming from Yid-ol, but with Keane and Berbatov (and possibly even Bent too) doing better than him, and him not justifying being picked abover them, then he has no case with which to push for guaranteed first-team football.
So he needs to decide whether being at a club he loves is more important, or whether being number one choice up front is.
He has looked good when ever he has come on, from what i have seen. Lively and is always looking towards the goals, although sometimes its not always the best thing in the last two matches he has been brought on we have looked more of a threat on goals than before.
Keane had a realy poor start to the season...it was some shocking games, but yet keeped his place over both Defoe and Bent. Bent hasn't lived up to people hopes (not the price tag because it was a stupid amount and shouldn't be compaired to what the club wanted to pay for him) yet and isn't clicking with the team yet.
Maybe not picked above, but defanatly a diffrent option we could have used at times and was over looked.
Can’t let you away with that. The whole team started slowly, Keane was one of the first to show promise and then all of a sudden...

Still had a poor start to the season, but i should have said Berbatov had an even worse start as well and the midfeild is only just starting to pick up.
is that not the same thing i was doing?No more than most and you picked on the negative and ran with it, ignoring his obvious positives, so I had to point it out
is that not the same thing i was doing?
If it was I missed it :shrug:
