Defoe Bid Lodged With Spurs Today

This is only single-sourced, but it is from the same person who told me Calum Davenport was about to sign for us in January, so I passi ton for what it is worth. It seems Eggert Magnusson has lodged a sizeable bid with Spurs to ecure Jermain Defoe’s services. He knows Defoe is nervous about returning to West Ham because of the likely reaction from a section of the fans, but Magnusson is hoping it will be clear to him that he will be fourth in the running for a first team place at Spurs now they have signed Darren Bent.

I remain of the view that Defoe is a class player who would be a brilliant acquisition for us. He scored plenty of goals for Spurs last season despite not being in the team some of the time. He would provide a good contrast to Dean Ashton and ought to play well off him. I hope this rumour has some truth to it.

    re parksey

    if it s finalized yeah i agree ,it s for teh best that NRC goes. it s a nice profit on teh sale,and with parker in we won t miss him. Coker s good , and he can get better ,but his attitude wasn t right for the club. as with benayoun, if a player s not committed w eshud simply sell. life is too short. we ve got ownership now that have ambition , so we r e in a position now to not hav eto put up with disgruntled, selfish, thin-skinned players. i think coker s made a mistake ,but that will be his loss ultimately.

    We should welcome back Jermain. He will prosdper and so will we with him back at the club.

    Before he was so badly advised by his agent after we were relegated he had given a sterling effort to help us keep up in 2003 after a season when we was expected to lead the lide aged 19, 20!!

    This who pooh pooh his return are being pretty shyort-sighted.

    You know what, as a Hammers fan, i do like to trawl the West Ham forums. I dont look at spurs sites cause i’m just not interested. Simple. With any footbal forum your gonna get jokers from rival clubs. There not coming on here to offer worthwhile arguments (and there have been some debatable stuff that come from spurs fans). People are going on about the standard of the replys from these ‘jokers’ and why dont they just fuck off? THEY AINT GONNA FUCK OFF IF YOU KEEP FEEDING INTO THEM! Use your head for fucks sake. nyhammer your the kind thats giving them kind good reason to keep visiting West Ham sites. Your fodder to them. Surley you must know a worthwhile post to reply to when you see it? They must lov the likes of you. As you use the word ‘provoked’ in your last post, thats the problem, aint it. If you let them in, then your part of the problem. Fuck spurs fans (and WAR!) and concentrate on posting stuff about WEST HAM

  4. Telboy says:

    by the way, IF Curbs wanted Defoe, and IF Defoe wanted back in, then i would welcome it. The boy can score, and he would score there is no doubt. He himself knows how hammers fans can be. So if he did come back it would show that he has a lot of bottle. He aint gonna mug himself off is he. He is older and wiser now.

    Off The Subject if i may ive just heard on ssn the abritration meeting the decision will be made tomorrow morning on wether points will be deduct or they will uphold the original decision

  6. ny hammer says:

    telboy , if i feel like responding to them , without using racist slogans , and without swearing at them , i ll do so til the cows come home. what encourages them , and
    “feeds” them is people hurling racist abuse at them, and people calling them various 4 letter and 6 letter words. which just makes us look and sound like racist ,illiterate
    muppets. having said all that , i do agree with you that most of the time there s no point in replying because you can t reason with people who can t see sense. it s like trying to reason with terrorists – you can t , and in the end there s no point in trying. which is why i ve let the various tripe that s been placed on here TODAY by insulting
    outsiders go by the wayside,unresponded to.

    how d teh interview go to replace garry vinegar on match of the day?

    that much to report ?? wow…

    sleep tight buggy bear

  20. MR H Beast says:

    well nothing really mate, but we can all only guess what might happen. being realistic tho defoe ain’t going to west ham. i reckon he’ll stay and fight it out. as for spurs apparently a decision on the stadium will be made this week. early days for transfers, but its going to heat up as we get closer to the new season. i expect west ham will be in for quite a few players. you have your sights set on success as do we, and the spurs, west ham fixture is one i look forward too. its a proper London derby. bit of needle in that game, but even more this coming season what with the freakish game at yours. talk about highs and lows! anyway glad we had the banter.

  21. ny hammer says:

    i d be surprised to see defoe leave aa well. for a start ,if he left it would be admitting defeat in terms of not being able to win a starting place at spurs. i also doubt whether he d have the stomach to deal with some of the abuse that would come his way from those who won t forgive and forget . and i freely admit i can t forgive him for the way he left ,though i wouldn t be slating him. obvious as it is that he ll score goals wherever he plays ,and could contribute something to west ham, i m hoping he stays at spurs simply because i don t believe that he really wants to be at west ham. i don t want any player at west ham who is less than fully comitted and who doesn t relly want to play for us. i get the feeling that if he movd smewhere it s not because he would really want to be at any particular club, but because he s just frustrated at the lack of playing time at spurs. he s got a massive decision to make for himself,part of which depends on how strongly he believes in hs ability to outplay bent and and keane. big gamble for the lad .

  22. Fostie! says:

    Juan Pablo Carrizo, thats who west am should set there sights on not Defoe!

    I would love to see Paulo back at westham helping the strikers out training, As he was a dram come true to use as he scored the goals that only top players can score like him self

  28. Danny boy says:

    Any news on Shefild united yet lads

  29. ny hammer says:

    what i had read yetserday suggested that a response to sheffield united could begin to be made at 2.00 or 2.30 ,but that it could take quite awhile after that before a “public” statement is made.

  30. Danny boy says:

    thank’s mate

  31. ny hammer says:

    case dismissed

    ROCK ON EAST LONDON

  32. NYIdiot says:

    hahaa listen to NY hammers “justifying” racist abuse…just admit you hate jews, i would respect you more. Spurs fans scum? maybe….plenty of nasty dirty hammers fans out there….

  33. Trickywhu1 says:

    Leave this site please.. Ian please make an avitar for this site

  34. chief justice says:

    those of us who use the site regularly don t hate any ethnic group.
    what we don t respect is foul mouthed ,ill mannered people who visit the site just to cause trouble.

    and if u read his posts correctly, he didn t justify racist abuse in anyway shape or form.
    what he did say was that a ssection of spurs support(not all of it) encourage and provoke racism by acting like rude ,arrogant louts.

    if you re going to enter the court, do your homework and prepare your case

    oh, by the way ,did you forget to take your anti=depresants? better hurry. but remember,don t take too many. that may hinder your performance.

    “have a nice day”

    trickwhu1 – nice one mate- well stated.

  37. Danny boy says:

    Any more news on the bid for Defoe

  38. superyid says:

    Jermaine defoe is only going to leave spurs if the price is right, spurs don’t need the money we are loaded, 15 million might get him.

  39. Hammerithome says:

    Says on Sky Sports Defoe quite happy at Spurts.At least he’ll be playing in Europe(he hopes).
    He may live to regret that decision. Oh well.

  40. top shop says:

    i agree he may regret that as if he struggled to get a game last season ,what chnace does he have now?

    i don t think we will regret it though. good player , but not worth paying over the odds for , especially given his history

  41. hammer alliance says:

    hey soup- where d you master that subtlety? that fine art of not shwoing off what you have (or think you have)?
