Defoe recalled to England squad.

[Leekbrookgull]

Well the cupboard is not bursting with talent !

 

[Sussex Nomad]

To be fair he shouldn't have been out of it.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Shirley we should have enough talent below the age of 34, what with the EPLship being the best in the world and all that.

But how many of the goal scorers are English?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Good grief, what a pathetic admission of failure on England's part.

And Poyet's finest signing of his entire career to date. Single-handedly kept Sunderland in the Premier League two years longer than they deserved. Newcastle are ten times the club that Sunderland are. Once they get finally relegated, they'll sink like a STONE.

 

[AmexRuislip]

I thinks it's a great compliment to him, being recalled, he's been one of the PL's best finisher for years.

 

[studio150]

Looking at the whole squad it just shows how few England qualified players there are in the EPL.

Threadbare comes to mind

1. Yes, we do have better strikers, Harry Kane is injured
2. Defoe is the 6th top scorer in the Premier League, ahead of one of the brightest English talents in years (Alli)
3. People moan year after year about managers picking on reputation, people are now moaning about them being picked because they're in form


Personally delighted he's called up. I'd start him against Lithuania and give a younger player their chance against Germany, we're here to win games not make nice, Defoe is our most potent goalscorer right now. End of.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Christ....

Do we have NO younger players?

It's a game against Lithuania and a friendly.

 

[Notters]

And Poyet's finest signing of his entire career to date.

^This man is saying that Defoe is a better signing than Inigo Calderon.^

Good lad Gareth, you knew it made sense.
