Guys,
If the papers are anything to go by, then it looks like we could be wrapping up the re-signing of Defoe in the next few hours and (as a bit of a shock), a possible loan deal for Chimbo!
But what are your views on this?
I'll throw my 2-cents in first.
With regards to Defoe, if it does happen, then i'm more than happy to have him back at Spurs. Firstly, he's an out-an-out striker who has an eye for goal (more so than who we've got at the mo), but also, because he can make things happen on his own, rather than having to always rely on a strike partner.
However saying that, i also think it would be good for Bent OR Pav - in fact, i'm pretty sure Defoe and Bent played a decent few games together, so i'd love to see them strike up a solid partnership!
My main concern however is consistency, mostly based on confidence - there's no denying that when he's happy and confident, he plays seriously well, but he also has a tendency to let his head drop and drift out of games - lets just hope this won't be so much of a problem if Harry is on the case from the beginning.
Lastly, i'm loving the fact that he actually wants to play for us! He actively wants to come back to us, which makes me think he'll play hard for us aswell as he'll no doubt have something to prove!
Still not sure about the £15m price tag that is being bandied around!
So a big thumbs up from me (and as long as Frazier sticks around, then we'll have 4 decent strikers to choose from) - Fingers crossed!!
Now onto Chimbo - actually, i'm not that surprised that he's back on the radar. In my opinion (although he did probably ge a bit too big for his boots), i would've liked to have seen him stay! He was arguably the best RB we've had for ages, and he had a pretty good shot and goal ratio for a defender. He linked up well with Lennon, and i think he could work with Bentley too - overlapping for example.
As a loan deal, this could be a stroke of genuis - he can slot back into his RB position, freeing up Corluka to play in the Centre when needed.
However, i know many of you still haven't forgiven him for his storming off during the Carling Cup, and his overall antics during the latter half of that season. BUT, remember, he never got on with Ramos, so i'm sure things could be different with Harry!
Your thoughts??
