Why do people chant for JD

[double0]

No, it's because he shafted Charlton up the bum, and then handed in a transfer request at West Ham within 24 hours of them being relegated.

That's why they boo him.

Wet spam boo every player (a yo-yo club), they even boo players who've never played a game for them. Example; Beckham with the noose after the world cup. Defoe did the right thing in leaving wet spam and why you continue to hold a gun to his head is just silly.

Jermain Defoe is a yiddo.

I'm not! I sing his name! I was just stating the reasons why they boo him. He has a history of shafting his previous clubs? He may have been right to leave West Ham but to be so cold about it considering they pretty much nurtured him into England material and handing in a transfer request as their fans were probably crying is some terrrible management. By who? Oh yeah, our mate Sky Andrew. ****.

Jermain Defoe is a yiddo.

Sing it all you want, and I do too. He is only a 'yiddo' in that he plays for Spurs. He supports Arsenal. We've had this discussion before, you don't believe me and I know it's true. So go figure.

 

[onthetwo]

I have just got home from the game and i am a season ticket holder, whenever JD warms up loads of people chant "jermain defoe hes a yiddo???"

I find this hard to swallow as he wont even put pen to paper and sign a new contract so i feel a little "f**k you p**cks" is what he is thinking? so why are people all for him and not players on the pitch?? if i was a striker for tottenham and the fans sung for JD and he was not on the field i would be pretty pissed off!!

Just wondered if someone could tell me why he is held in such high esteem as he is never picked to start recently and that is under two managers.

"How about Jermain Defoe, he's a mercenary midget"...doesnt have the same ring to it does it?

 

[PYiddy]

The managers managing him dont think so???????

two different things. surely you can see that?

 

[eaststand upper s/ticket]

And another thing, why do you season ticket holders seem to imply that as you season tickets, you are more entitled to see things go your way, or that you are more of a "Spurs" fan than us non ticket holders. You dont need to bloody keep saying it when making an argument because it doesnt make your argument any more credible or valid!

No what it means is we see the whole picture not what the medis want you to see???

I am lucky enough to live near the ground and dont mean to be big headed in any way to the loyal supporters from around the country, but i do get to see the whole 90 mins not the edited mins:wink:

 

[eaststand upper s/ticket]

Would you rather that we booed him?

Jesus wept.

Great contribution:duh::duh::duh::duh:

Seriously do people not understand how an employee/employer relationship works?? I'm not just talking about football - I'm talking about any kind of employment in general.


When someone is offered a contract - they will have certain personal requirements that need to be fulfilled. In defoe's case, given the bench time that he's had, its pretty obvious that his expectation in regards to his playing time (whether justified or not) is not being met by the club. IF THE CLUB WANT DEFOE TO SIGN THEY WILL NEED TO MEET HIS REQUIREMENTS.

If these requirements aren't met, an employee may negotiate. If the employer cannot/will not meet the demands, the employee will go elsewhere.

Given the nature of the player and the situation, most of the fans can see this and sympathise with the player, and thats why he still remains in favour with the fans and thus they sing his name. Both Defoe and the club have benefitted from him being a tottenham player since he signed for us.

Unfortunately some fans would appear to see his reluctance to sign as some sort of unjustified lack of loyalty from defoe, which i really dont understand.

and before anyone asks the question - the answer is "no, i'm not saying defoe should be starting".

I've spents some seasons as a season ticket holder, a member who attends regularly, and a non-member who goes to 1 or 2 games a season, and I can say that what you do get is the opportunity to appreciate what a player does more during a whole game because you dont have to necessarily focus on the ball the whole time.

However, in regards to an issue like the defoe thing, a season ticket means nothing.

Additionally, people dont see what the media want them to see when it comes to their own team. They see what they want to see. Thats why so many people on this site hate so many people in the media because they are offended by supposed anti-tottenham bias.

 

[dynamoSpurs]

Yes i am not disputing he is a great player but he wont commit himself to us so why the loyality???

he won't commit because he doesn't get played as often as he'd like.

he's still been a very successful Spurs player and still loves the club... Just not enough to rot on the bench...

 

[SpurSince57]

Defoe's in a Catch-22. To get a start, he has to impress; to impress, he has to start. Unfortunately for him, Keane's been the more effective 'little guy' striker over the past two-and-a-bit seasons. Defoe's had opportunities to make the role his own in the past two seasons and hasn't taken it.

I don't blame him for not signing a new contract, but he's got to make up his mind soon. I have no problem with the 'Jermain Defoe, He's a Yido' chant either. It's just the claims that he's a 'goal machine' and our 'most clinical finisher' that I can't take on board.

 

[PT]

So we got Berby off to Man U in January - swiftly followed by Defoe, who will be sold in January to anyone who bids. Bent will follow out the door as he isn't getting the starts and apparently is shit.

4-5-1 then. KEANO!!

 

[citron]

despite being a gooner, spurs fans (ones with head screwed on) love defoe. its a shame (for defoe) that we have keane because many managers enjoy his 'all round game', though, i refuse to be sold the concept that he is a striker, and 'on fire' . he's a lucky irish wag. defoe has been cool as a cucumber over the last 3 years and is perfectly entitled to walk out on a free, thats why we love him.

and if anyone thinks he will be sold in jan to the benefit of the club, dont be so silly. he is gonna get a mega bucks deal maybe in eng but probably in spain, prob real or barce..

but you never know, if we start climbing the league towards europe and ramos begins to favour proper out n out strikers, he may well extend his contract. but only if he gets what berba is on, i would presume.

JD he's a YIDDOOO

I agree. He's been lucky those 71 times in those 164 League games he's played for us.

You lose all credibility when you try and claim he's lucky. Sorry, citron, but he's anything but lucky. He's pure Irish class. And it's a shame Keane has to be brought up when this is clearly about Defoe. But to add his stats to the pile, in 129 League apperances, Defoe's mustered 39 goals.

It's quite clearly luck that distinguishes them. And nothing else.

 

[citron]

it's true though. why would defoe have been left behind in the world cup in favour of a young tourist walcott? bad luck i would say, that sven didnt trust him enough.. keane IS lucky, in respect of his goals.. (not questioning his overall strengths as a player and mentally). not so lucky for his managers.. great at volleys and pens. not so good at straight up, served on a plate shots.

so i would say he's lucky, but especially in respect of usually getting the nod over defoe, VERY lucky.

good luck to them both though..

 

[orkneyspur]

I would like him to stay, I don't mind if he goes. (for a good fee)
I JUST WISH SOMEONE WOULD TEACH HIM THE OFFSIDE RULE. :bang:

 

[jimbo]

I really can't see Real or Barca wanting Defoe, Berbatov, yes I could see them wanting him. But Defoe, no way. I'm not sure quite what Defoe has done to garner this enormous belief in him as a clinical finisher and natural goalscorer.

I'd like to reiterate that I like Defoe, I just think we have better goal scoring options than him. I won't be upset if he does see out his contract and leave on a free, I can understand why he would want to do this. I'm sure he tries his hardest on the pitch and it's a shame that's not enough for us and what we're trying to achieve.

 

[citron]

he runs at players with good pace and is a bit of a loose cannon, in spain they regard this as an asset as the league is a bit slower. i would imagine real or barce would see defoe as a good option for the bench (at the very least), much like owen had much success in his season there, often coming off the bench..

 

[rez9000]

No, it's because he shafted Charlton up the bum, and then handed in a transfer request at West Ham within 24 hours of them being relegated.

That's why they boo him.

But again, him leaving was a blow to the club and displeased the fans. If he'd been crap for them, they'd have welcomed his handing in a transfer request. The manner in which he did it is important, but the fact that they would have preferred him to stay is evidence of his footballing ability, yes?

Defoe was left behind because he was regularly going AWOL whenever he played in 2005-2006, and made the cardinal error of doing his Lord Lucan impression when Sven came to see us play Bolton at the Lane. You'd have thought it was Barney trying to secure a ticket for Germany. Why Sven chose Wallmart rather than Bent is still a mystery, but Defoe had only himself to blame. It was all very well him impressing in training when he was called up on standby, and reportedly playing his nuts off in our pre-season programme because he had a point to prove; he should have proved it when it mattered instead of apparently assuming he was a shoe-in.

And no, Keane hasn't been lucky with his goals.

He's not luckier, he's just simply better. The myth he can't score 1-on-1s is ridculous. Watch the Liverpool game. Then watch it again so you don't miss them both. :|

Gets on my tits when people continually bring that up. Defoe is probably the worst 1-on-1 because the ball will end up in the top tier of the stadium.

He has one move against defenders - it's even Trade marked: ShiftAndShoot. :-D
