Anyway, at least Defoe is at our club and going to be banging them in soon.

Of course he is.

Can’t agree with you on Ashley. His ego, him being a fan of Newcastle and the riches of English football haven’t seen him invest any money there.

Eh?
He bought the club and paid off all their debt
Defoe is apparently on 65k a week. Nowhere near the figures previously quoted.
Bournemouth picking up a massive wedge of that.
We tried to sign him in summer and Eddie howe said no, defoe himself has insisted on moving due to lack of playing time.
I feel much better about this signing now.
Newly capped England striker Callum Wilson is rated around the £50m mark and Joshua King was recently linked with return to Man Utd around the £30m mark.
Its no real shocker Defoe was third in line to these two tbh.
You never know how it will work out but he does strike you as the kind of dedicated experienced professional that will give it his everything.
We have a relatively young squad so to have an experienced spine of McGregor - Defoe- Davis can hopefully help us in the run in.
Looks fit as a fiddle defo, worries me a tad tho that he’s 36 and bound to have lost some pace but hopefully up here it won’t be as problematic. Certainly knows where the goals are and you’d imagine if he gets two chances he will take one.
