Stevosevic Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 He's still only 32 chaps and it was surprising to see him go to the MLS so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjslcfc Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 I've always seen him as a quick, hard working, off-the-shoulder, poacher sort of striker. That is probably what we need. Can see it going either way but hopefully it works out. If this and the Schwarzer deal get done early it shows Nige's intent in the market and to get our business done quickly so we can concentrate on results.

Rushden fox Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 And the difference between Defoe and Vardy is????? They still both need service and they are both quick, they are both small, Defoe by himself up front can't be any better than vardy being up front alone. IMO we need a good stong, tall number 10 who could drop into midfield and then hold up the ball to allow the midfield to catch up with play. then lay it wide for a good cross to attack. He may be a good squad player but he won't be able to do that..just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 A bit like when we signed Tony Cottee from the Thai league. I think most of us at the time thought we were signing a has been, it worked out alright though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFS Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 This will be good. If we can some how do the Kramaric deal too we'll be set for strikers. It's the on to LB and CB and we're ready to kick on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good long range finishing ability too. He reminds me of that kid at school who didn't want to pass the ball just try and beat everyone and get a shot away. Vardy is quick and has a goal in him, but Defoe is in a competent different league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzell Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jan/02/jermain-defoe-leicester-return-premier-league Jermain Defoe is set to join Leicester City from FC Toronto. The Premier League’s bottom club have jumped to the front of the queue for the striker’s signature, ahead of Queens Park Rangers, among others, and they are confident of closing the deal.Harry Redknapp, the QPR manager, is on record as saying that Defoe was prominent on his list of January targets but it is Leicester who have made their move, and they hope that he can score the goals to help them avoid relegation back into the Championship.Defoe, 32, might need a little bit of time to regain his top-level condition, having not played since the end of the MLS season in October but his goal-scoring pedigree in the Premier League – at West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Portsmouth – is proven.His record at Toronto was also good, even if his surprise move to North America from Tottenham last year has not worked out the way that everybody had hoped it would. He scored 11 goals in 19 games, including two on his debut in Seattle, causing tremendous excitement in Canada.But he ran out of steam, he suffered from injury and he missed matches. He was supposed to help Toronto to a first play-off appearance but the club fell short and his situation was soured by a statement made last September by Tim Leiweke, Toronto’s president.Leiweke questioned Defoe’s commitment and said that “if you don’t want to be here, get the hell out of our way”. Nobody has previously questioned Defoe in such a manner and he admitted in a Guardian interview last October that it had hurt.Defoe, who was overlooked by the England manager, Roy Hodgson, for last summer’s World Cup finals, has long seemed likely to leave Toronto. Leicester intend to provide him with a fresh challenge. I was going to shag the missis tonight but after reading that I don't think I need to.

Stevosevic Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 Yep, Defoe would often belt one in from 25 yards as well from absolutely nothing. We don't have enough players who do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facecloth Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 oh ok Well come on, you can't honestly think having Defoe up front is the same as having Vardy up front. Ever seen Vardy do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaelicFox Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 It's what we are missing right now , he is a perfect band aid on a temporary issue He brings huge experience and can score I'd like him and Nugent to be given a chance up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 Defoe is one of my favourite ever strikers, so I'd love it if he came to us. Not as good as he used to be, but we need an alternative for Vardy and Defoe is just what we need, good finisher and has the experience were craving for. Get it done!

Bettsj2 Posted 2 January 2015 Share Posted 2 January 2015 If Defoe gets a chance, its highly likely he'll stick it in. 32 is absolutely no age. Well excited by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
