I don't get this. Why would a current England International go to Canada? He's in the England squad now, so Hodgson is obviously content to pick him even if not playing every week. The other thing is, if he is a current England international, and as good as everyone says, then why isn't a top team coming in to buy him? In fact, why is no Premier League team wanting to buy him - why is Canada the only option? I think other clubs will be linked soon. Still think Newcastle is a possible.
I personally think Defoe loves the club more that the club loves him. I see no need to disrespect the guy even if he does spend a great deal of time offside. At least he's one of the few players who ALWAYS seems to show he wants it when he's on the pitch, be it as a sub or a starter
I'd rather keep him as he wants to play here, he is a good 2nd/3rd choice striker. dont get why we dont go 2 up front and use him.
he score goals. we lack goals....
My mate who lives out in Canada has said they are talking over there like this is a done deal
Theo Delaney said that it was on but was put on hold this week which he reckons is to do with the manager situation because a new manager might want to keep Defoe.
I don't have any bad feelings against the guy but he's not exactly the bastion of loyalty.
He put in a transfer request the save evening West Ham were related and moved to their biggest rivals.
He put in a transfer request as soon as he was 3rd to Keane and Berbatov.
Left Portsmouth almostimmediately for us, a much bigger club
Now Soldado is here, he is appearing to be leaving at the first opportunity.
Again, I doubt blame him for looking out for himself first, and grateful for the goals he did score but it needs to be said.
Damiao!?His family really like it there and would all move over with him apprently? Also house hunting already.
Seems to be very high up list!
Only other club i could see him going is west ham. But doubt that due to sams style of play.
I would rather he stayed thou tbh!
Hearing another striker could be coming in thou but more of a target man than defoe.
Oh god no...Damiao!?
