Hasn't Defoe failed to score in his last 10 to 15 games (not sure exactly)?
I think we can do better than bringing in Defoe.

But he must be sh1te because he doesn't get paid £200K per week or cost upwards of £36million?!

Are you saying Defoe would be a first team regular for Man United?

LOL, the bloke scores 29 goals at a ratio of 1 in 2 for a sh1t team, long after the rest of his team have jacked it in and resigned themselves to relegation. It's testament to his professionalism he hasn't already picked up a "niggling injury" that will rule him out for the rest of this futile season.
This season, probably yes.

Can't you read? I said there's not a Prem side who wouldn't have Defoe in their SQUAD. And yes, if Mourinho wanted to play 4-4-2 then Defoe would be a damn sight more productive alongside Ibrahimovic than any of the show ponies on his bench at present.
Rashford has 19/20 goals from playing from the bench for most the season - Defoe would do that with the chances they have missed this year.
Sure, how about Kane or Costa? No? Lukaku?

Are these the only strikers you think are better than Defoe?
No just laughing at your view that Defoe isn't good enough for Brighton.
There is only 6 strikers ahead of him in the league top scorers - and all but Benteke play for a top 7 side.

Deffo and Terry both on £100k a week next season at Bournemouth

Some interesting comments on here - £80k a week for a quality striker like Defoe I would suspect is well within Brightons wage structure for next season - at least one or two 'marquee' players will earn that at a guess and Defoe ticks that box.
His rate of goals at Sunderland is outstanding and having watched all games this season he is one of only a couple who have tried - especially over the past couple of months, his recent lack of goals is down to those around him - he cannot do it all.
Why do people think Bournemouth are the new Pompey - I suspect given the new TV money they are living well within their means, number of fans in your ground means nothing at all. This goes back to the German situation where season tickets are £150 a season which they should be here - basically covering the costs of staffing the game (non playing staff) as ticket sales will barely cover one decent purchase these days (signing on fee not including wages)

You do not think that Brighton will be paying at least one player a minimum of £80k next season in the PL with the new TV money? That is madness

These aren't the players you're looking for.

Really? We are not Manchester United. Our entire first team wage bill next year will be around £35,000,000. That averages £26,900 per week per player in a 25 man first team squad.
Is it PotG?

Do we REALLY want the likes of Murray and Defoe at a combined age of all but 70 in the top League? No.
Bloody hell, they'll all be queuing down at the food bank on that pittance!
