Defoe will cost QPR £6m

[Robsondinho]

Well the bookiea have up as fav to sign him so i hope you're right

Bookies also have us favs to win the league which aint gonna happen mate.

[QPR Richard]

My only concern about signing him would be his motivation. Dropping a division and playing for a smaller club, he might not perform as well as he has over the years.

We've seen enough players that have played at the top then failed miserably when they arrive at LR.

Too early to count us out after only two league games don't you think?

He could play at 30% and he would still score more goals than AJ and Zamora put together this season.

Defoe is from all reports including himself saying he is the fittest and sharpest he has ever been. Your not buying him to sell him on you are buying him to score you goals which he will.

true and 30 is not old if he keeps in shape. look at Giggs, Phillips or go back to Sheringham.
Defoe is likely to score in two thirds of Championship games because unlike other strikers he is capable of creating chances to score out of nothing.

Some people saying no to Jermain Defoe. I really have read it all.

The guy will score 15 to 20 goals in the Premier League let alone the championship. He plays most weeks and scores for a top 4/5 Premiership side, has consistently scored goals at that level and is an England international who scores on that stage as well.He would absolutely rip the championship apart and score for fun.

But yet because he is 30 ( So is Van Persie so i guess we would reject him on that basis ) he is too old. Ridiculous. So what if he costs 6 million quid. If he gets the goals to secure promotion it is more than a bargain.

Would we have won today if Defoe was up front alongside Austin and Johnson ? yes we most probably would...............

His motivation would be to score week in week out and get in the World Cup squad

People saying 6 million is to much for Defoe? Really?!

It's about right in my opinion and a front two of Defoe and Austin would be worth 50+ league goals.

Defoe is deadly and will be scoring lots of goals for at least the next four years. I'd do everything possible to sign the lad.

He's hardly going to come here for the ride is he? Dropping down to the Championship and scoring 30 goals will do his England chances more good than sitting on the bench at Spurs and scoring 5-10 goals.

I really hope we sign him, but I don't agree about the world cup bit. Woy only looks at top prem players (apart from lambert who got called up a few days ago)..so he wouldn't even look in the championship, even if defoe was to get 40 goals. He has a better chance as a squad player at spurs to be honest.

Matty,what are you doing posting on here at 01-05am when you should filling your boots with the local Huddersfield lassies !!!

[Tarbie]

Considering we paid around 6 mill for Bobby, the same for Defoe is a bargain.

Don't think we paid as much as 6m for Bobby but I see your logic. The fact is a side in the Championship should be paying 6m and Premiership wages for anyone, especially a player over 30. If we don't go straight back up it will come back to haunt us!

[LoftusRoadLad]

Will he take a massive wage cut ? I thought we were trying to get rid of high earners ?
But would still love him with us !

[OneEyedWilly]

6m for a top flight clinical goal scorer of defoe's calibre is insanely cheap!
he's got atleast 2 seasons left in him and would easily do a job if we got promo'd back to the PL. Next season, if we got back up, him and Remy would be deadly!

[hogbag]

Seems to me that any of the potential purchases from Spurs will go right to the wire, partly because both Harry and Levy love doing it that way and also because Spurs are asking too much for Defoe, Parker and Townsend. If it gets down to moving them on or having them sit around and draw wages, either outside of the squad or unlikely to play, then the prices will get more realistic.
