MPH Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Surely if we are offering that amount let's say €12 millions euros which is about £10 million pounds. If you pay a cut price that Toronto want & put Jermaine Defoe on a 2 year contract with the wage demands he wants. the figure would come close to this anyway wouldn't it? Edit- having quickly worked it out if we meet Toronto's asking price (£3,000,000) & offer Defoe £70,000 a week. (Shit loads I kbow) the combined figure comes to £10,000,000 the same amount I would imagine we've offered for this lad. I remember at the beginning of the season nige saying he wanted the wage structure so that it wouldn't break the unity in the deessing room. It would be odd to pay defoe 70k a week after saying that.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 The way I see it is Defoe is a proven goalscorer in the prem & right now that's what we need so it will be money worth spent rather than taking a risk on someone that's never even played a prem game
StanSP Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Where are our resident Japanese or German newbies to give us the inside line? There are alliances that need to be formed!
LCCFox96 Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Defoe is 4 years older and has injury issues and has no re-sale value. It would be a very short term signing. Tbf to Defoe on the injury issues he had played over a year non stop competitive football. September - January with Spurs; Signed by Toronto and loaned back to Spurs; linked up with Toronto till the end of the MLS season. He could label his injuries to fatigue due to the demands of his season. Ifs he's been in intense fitness training in France and is training with Spurs u/21s then hopefully the worst is behind him now and should he arrive with us then he will be fit and firing. Personally I'd prefer Defoe to Okazaki but I'm easy either way as they both strengthen our squad.
hackneyfox Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 If Toronto have halved the asking price just to get rid then Defoe himself can't expect to get 70k a week.
steveherbe Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Nope, he's no.23 Bugger, we've already got one of them, his name is Leonardo.
jonthefox Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Bugger, we've already got one of them, his name is Leonardo. Yeah but he cost a f##king fortune.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 I remember at the beginning of the season nige saying he wanted the wage structure so that it wouldn't break the unity in the deessing room. It would be odd to pay defoe 70k a week after saying that. Maybe, but Pearson now knows he was wrong, and has had to change his views.
Itsthejoeker Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Yeah but he cost a f##king fortune. But he occasionally scores goals so that's alright with me, I guess.
DennisNedry Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Surely you get one of Kramaric and Okazaki, not both! Other areas of the team are crying out for reinforcements!
MGLCFC Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Surely you get one of Kramaric and Okazaki, not both! Other areas of the team are crying out for reinforcements! Think NP wants 2 new strikers - especially after the efforts we wasted yesterday
sphericalfox Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Surely you get one of Kramaric and Okazaki, not both! Other areas of the team are crying out for reinforcements! Who says he's not doing both?
Babylon Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 Who says he's not doing both?The people who don't think multi tasking is possible.
kingcarr21 Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 The deal is off Okazaki Leicester move offFootball Posted at 13:56 Japan striker Shinji Okazaki won't be joining Leicester after their bid for him was rejected by Bundesliga club Mainz. "For the time-being that's finished for me. I will stop thinking about it. I'm a Mainz player and for now I want to focus on the Asian Cup and do what I can so we win the title," Okazaki said. Lets see if anything happens nearer the end of the transfer window
Itsthejoeker Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Code for come and get me. To be honest it appears to be pretty standard code for, I'm not going to upset my current manager, especially while I'm at a major international tournament.
Buce Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 The move isn't off, we simply need to improve our bid.
sulfoxide Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Skynews reporting doubts over Kramaric's work permit because he has only played for his country four times.
Dan Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Or just overhyping as usual. Look at some of the dross who've actually got work permits. Who on earth is Tadanari Lee?
Bamba's Babes Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Skynews reporting doubts over Kramaric's work permit because he has only played for his country four times. They don't know sh1t.
GingerrrFox Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Yun Suk-Young got a permit. That says it all really.
Spudulike Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 So does this mean that Mainz will accept our offer now
