Can not get the Defoe knickers. OK not worth £20m but still a good striker at prem level. Certainly a good squad player at least. Goals v West Ham and Man City last year ?

A bang average striker at prem level. Certainly not a good one in my eyes.

You've mentioned two good goals. I could mention 15 terrible performances.

You forgot the countless turgid performances where he fails to pick out a team mate in a better position to shoot.. or forgets to move, or hides behind defenders, or doesn't engage his braincell, or attack space.............. i could go on and its not the thread..

Something we need to realise is baldini was also brought in for his vast worldwide inventory of players he is aware of, contacts with agents. Just becos we are not ready to fork out 20 - 30 m on player A or B that is known to us, or rather seeing to be after the big hitters it does mean nothing is gawning behind the scene.

As someone suggested, a few of our current playing squad were not in the limelight until now, example of other teams with the beneteke, chicorito, ba, cisse. So its time to out there and get our own beneteke, ba, chicorito. Otherwise there is no point in getting a baldini on board.

Six updates, probably a record amount of updates for a single day to date and that's without the stuff that hasn't made the Read Only. All of that and still we're getting people bashing on about Defoe :(

I hope some of you have slapped on the precuationary lube.

Jaspers 'ITK' always seems more like opinion. Is he rated over on SO?
He told me to sleep well it's Moyes and I woke up to AVB as our new manager:).
I don't know how good he is but his ITK always seems less optimistic than I like, doesn't mean its wrong though I guess.
The thing is that if Halilovic comes we will be a big club, by the time he's 21 we'll have a massive new ground and lots more money and him in the squad.

To be fair, for the last few windows we have spent the entire time hoping we would spend circa £20m on Leandro. Benteke is younger, proven in the PL and a full international.

I'd take either player but would prefer benteke!
I dno its a hard decision Bentekes more proven but I think Damiao would be AVB's choice. Damiao also has a bit more About him that Benteke whos game is about his pace and power mainly!

that's how it starts, first deny, second is realisations, third is acceptance, forth is resolution, Fifth!! Well f it. That's how i dealt with my bald patch.

I don't think he's ever got anything right so that's the main reason for believing the other guys!
