I meant the circular arguments of another club being able to swoop in and usurp a pre agreed contractual arrangement because they feel like it. We went round in circles in the Countinho thread and suprise suprise once we activated the clause he was ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very surprising. Having said that, I would be delighted if Cameron gets to his level! Bona fide evidence Defoe was a shit striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the key thing eh. Barrow in the cup? Scores goals. Chelsea in the cup? Scores. Get a shot in the Championship? Scores. Everywhere he has been in the last year he has scored goals. Also I agree with you on international football but those goals are actually the moment it moved a step on for me as well… this isn’t some other Championship striker, this kid has been selected amongst the best U21s in the country and in the current England setup that often means training with the senior squad etc. If we don’t give him a shot I think we are missing a trick. Maybe he won’t be ready and he can go out on loan again second half of the season and play another 20 games but let’s see first what happens… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets the chance to impress however many have looked good at this level only to fail to push on and become a premier league starter. Nah mate.

But what brakes need pumping? If he doesn’t make it, he doesn’t make it. Hopefully he does though and we won’t know until we see it tried. No-one is suggesting we start the season with him as the only striker in the squad, just that it’s worth seeing if he has what it takes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be fair if he goes on to play 400+ games in the top two divisions and for his country as Weimann has done he will feel he’s had a decent career… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Sell Watkins or Ings Sign new striker Keep Archer Let him start league cup games Let him train with big boys every week Let him fight for the job. Little more to prove in Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 another 2 great, calm finishes from Archer... He should be in and around our first team next season imo...clearly cool enough in front of goal to bury a few in the premier league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that a large part of Defoe's spurs career was basically as the de facto supersub, him and keane had a great partnership in many games though. I reckon he would have got above 20 goals no problem if he played full games more regularly. Would be a great thing if we can produce a player like Defoe though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa_Vids Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 CA has the brilliant ability to create space to shoot in a congested box, very much similar to Defoe. I think we have a potential star in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 What is impressive is that his goals don't go in of his knee or his shins or his arse, he absolutely rifles them in, calm pinpoint accuracy. If Gerrard was to use him, ok he would take time to find his feet, possibly show his inexperience, but I reckon he would be likely to put away any chances that came his way. And goals win games.

WooJung Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Keep him in the squad alongside 2 other strikers and see what he can do. If he doesn't get enough game time we can loan him once again in January, depending on how the season is going maybe even to a premier League club fighting for relegation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
