What a pickle the Daily Mail seem to be in today. It is with a mixture of amusement and annoyance that I noticed 2 stories pop up on the oracle of all things Tottenham - newsnow.Story 1 declared: "Defoe to quit Spurs after rejecting new five-year deal" which I found rather confusing, because story 2 proclaimed: "Defoe: I'll fight for my place at Spurs".
So then Daily Mail, which is it?
Allow me to answer if I may - I tend to think it will be the latter. Defoe has said time and time again that he is not interested in going elsewhere. Apart from the lovely new house in the home counties that he has had custom designed and built, people forget that him and Darren Bent are actually great friends off the pitch.
If those 2 reasons sound a bit flimsy, then try these on:
- Spurs are quite clearly a club progressing
- Spurs have the best chance of Champions League football outside of the Big Four
- Spurs are in the UEFA Cup
- Spurs are likely to play upward of 60 games next season - more than enough to keep 4 strikers happy
- Spurs have a talented squad that have a good chance of winning some silverware
- Jol has made it clear that he wants Defoe to stay
- The board have offered him a contract
- Life at the Big Four will involve MORE bench warming that it would at Spurs
- Life at Portsmouth would involve battling for mid table
- Life at Aston Villa would involve moving to Birmingham (uurgh)
- West Ham hate him
Now let's move on...
