Doctor,how much longer would you give Defoe to start scoring again before you decided it was time for him to go?
Tohbi, considering it's been the guts of 18 months since he's been in any way consistent - I'd have him out the door asap before his value drops any more... that's not going to happen this window, but if he's not on at least 8 league goals by Christmas I'd be thinking that it would be time for him to go...
... but believe me, I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong.
8 by Christmas seems a little generous to me,I'd want many more than that but thanks for the firm opinion. I feel like Keane it's time he went anyway. So should Modric if he's not happy. So should Harry if his eyes are on England. All this is unsettling the team.
I'd differ with you on Modric mate... He may be unhappy and I certainly don't want players in lilywhite who don't want to be there but there's a much bigger issue at the heart of the Modric saga...
The insistence on holding on to Modric is mostly about sticking our feet firmly in the ground and putting a message out to Chelsea (Man Utd, City, Liverpool as well no doubt) that we are not a club willing to sell to them - to a club who we wish to consider to be our rivals.
I think if a foreign team came in and offered 40mil we'd take it in a heartbeat.
It's a delicate situation(for sure to quote Harry,I hate it when he says that) regarding Modric but we shouldn't be obstinate for the sake of sticking two fingers up to the top teams,they have enough money to get anybody in so it won't hurt them.
yeah I get what you're saying but i think Levy wants to put out the message that, 'Yes you can outspend us, but no, you can't bully us."
I think that's important, that sort of attitude rubs off on everyone at the football club.
I'm in the camp that says let him sit in the stands or rot in the reserves.
Good point Doctor but I hope now that Levy concentrates on Spurs and forgets the top teams. Utd 8 Arsenal 2,Mafiaboy where are you-whooooooooooo?
Fiiiivveeee Onneeeeeeee - we only lost, 5-1, we only lost 5-1, we only lost 5-1....
... small consolation, but consolation none the less.
