VillaChris Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Newcastle actually seriously interested in Defoe. Could well happen if he doesn't get a decent offer from a club in the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would sell them to whoever offered the best deal, if that were Sunderland they would sell to them especially with them being in a lower division. As for the above transfer activity... why oh why didn't one of our ex managers take all our crap for us like Moyes has done for Everton. Maybe but if a villa came in or a sundeland for a Newcastle player they are likely to sell Tonys Tegan them I think. i know bloody lambert why hasn't he came in for gabby yet?

I'm confused. What's a Tegan, does Tony drive one and why do we we have to buy it off Newcastle? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegan is a given name of Welsh origin. It is a diminutive of the Welsh word teg ("fair") and means "darling," "loved one," or "favourite," Tony used to drive a Ford Mondeo, so no. We have to buy it off Newcastle, because the inventory system uses barcodes I don't know what's so difficult to understand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he'll get a 2 year deal off the back of this season (especially as no transfer fee involved) which I guess would be acceptable to him / his agent.

Demitri_C Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I reckon if West ham came in for a one year deal he would take it. Would love him here for a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 He is on £80,000 a week with a good few years left to run. They won't be getting a penny for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say he will get a year with a conditional option of a 2nd year if he is going to a decent club (Liverpool or United could do with him), he will probably get 2 if he is going to a club with less sway (the likes of West Ham) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a £10m gamble for someone. It is who blinks first though isn't it. If Man United offer him £100k a week for a year with an option on a 2nd year is he going to turn that down for 2 years somewhere like West Ham? I can't see it myself. Look at the money United just gave Lingard, they could give Defoe £5m a year without second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would walk into their team this season and they would have a lot more points if they had him as an option. In fairness though they will probably spend a fortune on strikers this summer so will likely have bigger targets but I could see it happening, Fergie did it a few times with the likes of Larsson.

OutByEaster? Posted April 12, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 12, 2017 I see him somewhere like West Ham, Stoke or West Brom - for those teams, £10m over two years is still a lot of money for a 35 year old. This is a player that's four years older than Gabby - personally speaking I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I was amazed Sunderland gave him a 3 and a half year deal when he signed and in first 6 months he did little there. I remember when we beat them 4-0 at SOL and Poyet was playing him wide left. Last year though he's been exceptional in a generally hopeless team and he could still easily do a job for a team like Southampton or Bournemouth looking to take the next step into the top 8 of the league.
