Defoe

[FurtiveFox]

I'm personally not that into Defoe being our savior. Had his share of injuries in recent years, in and out of Spurs team. Wrong age.

I think it's a sad indictment of our player recruitment expectations so much is pinned on signing him. Do we actually have any strategy going forwards on the pitch?

[SuperHoopNik]

Signed for Sunderland according to wednesday's Sun

[QPRDave]

Well it is a gamble......wonder what we will be saying come may?.......Must admit that's a lot of money, think TF and the board are right in this instance

JERMAIN DEFOE has agreed a whopping £14million pay deal to return to English football with Sunderland.
The Black Cats will give hitman Defoe a 3½-year contract worth £80,000 a week in the hope he can fire the goals that will secure Premier League safety.

3 and a half year contract. ####ing hell. Glad we didn't pursue, although is the sun

[Mattyqpr]

3 and a half years on £80k a week haha, #### that!

[jfish]

Imagine the media if we offered that!!

[Hertford Hoop]

Good player but injury prone and a little older now, almost a year away from top flight football too

[californiahoop]

Can't be true, I never wanted him, even if he kicks it up there I wouldn't have any regrets, I think between, Rio, Sandro and Niko, Harry has used up his old boys injured cards. Oh, and that about £150k a week.

Evidently he's off to Sunderland, cost too much money!

[whitecityrangers74]

80 large a week jesus wept!!

[ArthurQPR_NYC]

prediction: he does well --> loads of 'told you so' threads; he doesn't do well --> silence

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Got a feeling he won't do much.

[lymehoop]

too much for a player past his best, another Darren Bent, money, money money

[Garyd73]

I would have wanted him to come but only until the end of the season, if he does well then take him on for 1 year more. No chance I would have taken him for 3.5 years on those wages when you look how much this has hurt us in the past, would rather go down than take more contracts like this on.
