Mmmn. Maybe this is completely fabricated but it sounds too damn true to me … from Dan Nolan on Spurs Community…
‘Been in Vegas on a mates stag do this week and happened to meet Jermain Defoe, Tom Huddlestone and Ian Wright.
Talked in length with JD on the roulette table and he is actively looking to leave and even mentioned joining Arsenal. Says hes in his peak age wise and needs to be playing, said he never got fully fit because HR didn’t pick him even if he scored! No reserves meant he got no games to pick up sharpness after injury. Very annoyed about it too.
HR doesn’t want him to leave but wont guarantee him football. His agent was also with him and said hes investigating interest and we should find out in the next 2 weeks when hes back from holiday.
Spurs also looking to do business early as they are aware what happened in the last window annoyed the fans.
My sincerest apologies to Jermain Defoe apologists, but this delusional idiot’s goal tally speaks for itself.
The sooner Spurs dump fragile, self absorbed cretins like this – the better.
thanks harry, we do have ebay (wow-australia has ebay!) – they don’t have much to offer – the best is 3 spurs figures
try making a team out of that
Think of them as Blanchflower, Greaves and Mackay and you might be on to something.
Well to be honest I dont think there is anything in this, Defoe did have a bad season and I dont think he is stupid enough not to take some responsibility for it.
However he is a very very good striker and I would not want him to leave the lane, for me he still is just the number 1 choice, although slightly prone to injury and loss of form.
If he doesent get his sharpness from match time in the reserves he needs to train harder and longer than he is…
Ummmmm errrrr……. this is the point though, we dont have a reserves team….. Spurs Fans? Oh dear o dear.
I always thought of Defoe as the typical premier league footballer, until I watched that skysports special report called “the next step” (or something similar)
Sure, he has the matt black bentley and range rover, but he came over as a nice guy. It looked like he lives with his mum and all his family, he don’t drink, and they all sit around the table reading the bible.
I changed my view of him a little, although I’d rather he read the rules of the game, especially chapter 11
