Defoe to Villa

This isn't a wind-up, just Defoe never struck me as being all that. When on form he is an excellent finsher but beyond that ?

He has great technique (Bent has the touch of a rapist), dribbling skills (Bent rarely takes on anybody despite his pace), he has good vision, but he's now matured as a footballer so he won't be selfish and just shoot on sight, and he can take part in team moves (Bent can't link the play at all).

Go to the first 2 MOTD videos against Hull & Liverpool and you'll see him link the play and creating chances.

We're so much better without Bent fucking up anything that he got outside of the area/not facing the goal.

I was at the airport and managed to get a photo of one of the celeb magazines, Heat, Now, whatever, with the headline "Ziggy: Why I've dumped Chanelle" and another right next to it with the main story "Chanelle: Why I've dumped Ziggy". Awesome

(alas I lost the photo when my phone crashed )

Khadrim old chap,

perhaps it's best you sit this one out. For your own sake.

This question is like asking what's the difference between making love to a beautiful woman or making love to a cat, as in the end it's just pussy.

I'm afraid I can't help you answer either - it's what you make of it.

Think about it and have a nice day

I won't dispute his technique or dribbling skills (though to me it seems more strength and pace gets him past players as opposed to skill). But vision?

I should point out that this is nonsense. He's linked play well at Sunderland.

He's currently a good player, I don't think that's in dispute Kimboner.

It's whether he can become a very good, consistent player. Nobody is debating he is one already. He has the potential.

I'm assuming this was simply bumped because Arnaud suggested he was worth £3million. A ridiculously small amount which I'd wager could probably buy the entire Newcastle squad, but not enough to buy Defoe's foreskin

You've just spent £10m on one of our players, there's more where that came from. Stop swinging your dick about like you've got something to show off.

Health and Safety dictates I'm not allowed to swing my dick in public Kimmy,

but in relation to your squad - perhaps Jonas is still a relatively sellable asset, other than that I'm struggling to think of anyone.

Certainly a triple swoop for Smith, Barton and Nolan could be on the cards if we ever required additional parking security. That's if their ambassadorial roles at Newcastle ever fall through
