I think it is a rehash from the summer.
No doubt he will join but very much doubt the terms mentioned there are correct. |  | | |

They said in August that Defoe deal was done for January so this will happen but doubt it will be for 90k a week |  | | |

If I were in his position, I'd agree that sort of deal in a flash. Do I recall statements about "learning lessons"?
Apparently he wants to come back and battle to get back into the England squad. Yeah, right.
A 1 year deal on half that money would be generous. |  |

The problem in this is that he has been injured for a long time and doesnt look like getting fit anytime soon.
He will fail a medical and whilst that probably wouldnt have been an issue for us in the past, it is now. |  |

That would be an insane deal for an injury prone 30-something who can't play upfront alone (or I suspect with Charlie). That deal is a commitment to spending over £14m, or to put it in other words, giving Defoe half of our home gate receipts for the length of the contract. |  | | |

He'll sign but I'd be amazed if it was for that much.
In the summer the Standard reported that we were looking to "cash in" on Stephane Mbia to raise funds for other signings - Mbia, out of contract, was released two days later for free - so they've not exactly got their fingers on the pulse down at Loftus Road. Too busy shoving them up Cara Delevigne to accurately report on anything else.

Sign him until end of season with another year if we stay up. 30k pw. |  |

Ordinarily you would laugh off the suggestion of Defoe getting a 20k payrise, but then this is QPR. If we signed Stevie Wonder to play in goal I doubt anyone would be surprised. [Post edited 4 Nov 2014 14:05]

So let's get this right.
Reguarly injured, 32, out of favour at his last club, ex spurs and now criticised by the chairman and fans of his team for not being the marquee player they needed. All this in a league where Bradley Wright-Phillips is a top player.
Sign him up. Crouchy too. |  |

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
1 goal in his last 30 PL appearances? No thanks. Not for any wages, not even for 10p a week. The exact opposite of what we should be signing. |  |

He earned $6m this year at Toronto. Roughly £70k per week. | | | |

I must be in a minority of 1 who thinks Defoe is a world class finisher
he should have been England's main striker from 2006 to 2010
if he got us 10 goals from January onwards we would have done well and will stay up
Eto seems to be doing ok at Everton & is the same age & type of player that Defoe is |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

THE most predictable story of the transfer window - only 58 more non shopping days til it opens you know.
These journos work hard for their money, eh? | |

If he got 10 goals in 18 games that would be amazing.
He's never scored at that rate in his career in English football though, so it seems unlikely. | | | |

Come on no way will he get any where near 90k a week .
He was coming here for a lot less than that on a 2 year deal befofore he joined toronto that was untill they came in and blew our deal out of the water | | | |

You should probably reread the initial post. Of course he won't get £90k per week. You wouldn't put it past QPR though. | | | |

We've got 2 months to scout the whole of world football for a striker (and that's if we don't already have any targets in mind). Look at West Ham with Diafra, who many knowledgeable posters on here pointed out was quality in the summer.
Defoe isn't the striker we need to complement Charlie and Vargas, and he deffo can't take over the Zamora role.
Even Defoe is much less than quoted, it's a lot of money for a back up for Austin.
Can we please just sign a striker to fit into a plan and use a bit of creativity beyond hoovering up Spurs and Pompey rejects? | | | |

A world class finisher who has only scored more than 11 league goals in a season 3 times in his career? And the last of those was 5 years ago. Most he's ever hit was 18. Career average is 11.6 goals per season. Not exactly earth shattering.
Whenever I've seen Defoe all he does is shoot, pretty much constantly, the second he gets the ball. I'd actually argue that he's a pretty poor finisher.
Also he fills a role which we already have Austin and Vargas for. The urgent need is another hold up man to either support or replace Zamora. That takes priority over this vanity signing |  | | |

Sorry I love Austin & vargas as players but Defoe is a much better finisher than the pair of them
Spurs 274 apps, 90 goals
Portsmouth 30 apps, 14 goals
West Ham 93 apps, 29 goals
Toronto 19 apps, 11 goals
England 55 apps, 19 goals
the majority of his time he has been on the bench especially for Spurs & England
if the deal is right and we are not spunking to much on wages then it could be a good bit of business for us, he is proven and that's what we need | |
