No monkeys allowed! West Ham had a £18million bid turned down for him earlier this week!!! I personally cannot believe that Charlton have turned this down - are they insane  >:? Defoe must be worth £30million!  |

Defoe must be worth £30million! As a Charlton fan i would rather we keep him and do our best to survive in the premiership rather than take the money and spend the next 10 years trying to get back out of the championship. I think we are better off without the £18mil anyway, he'd only waste it paying £5mil for harewood and £8mil for Reo-coker who are about as much use as chocolate fireguards!!  |

No he is not worth 18 million and yes I would have sold him and brought in someone else, even on loan.
If they go down Charlton wont get 10 million for him.

He's never worth 18mill...it's a ridiculous price to pay for a striker of his quality. A decent bit of scouting will get you a better player for less.

Yes but when he returns to fitness and scores 20 more league goals the rest of this season to keep us up winning the golden boot award in the process then Chelsea will buy him for £35mil and give us Shevchenko in return (who we can then sell for another £2mil). So in the longrun we will be £19mil better off |

It beats buying average Spainards and has-beens/criminal British players No it doesn't... Lennon or Pennant? Bellamy or Defoe? Take out Benitez and Gerrard and your squad is just as good as Spurs'! Benitez is a class manager - and he's assembling the squad that he wants (well, who's available). So you're saying without him Liverpool would be a lesser team, a lesser squad. But it's his squad, so that doesn't make much sense. Gerrard has been pretty average this season (based on his standards), and it's churlish to say that our current league position is down solely to him and none of the other players. In fact, having been to many of our games earlier in the season - you can blame Gerrard for the fact we're not in a better league position. If he'd been performing as he could/should have been, we'd have got off to a better start and not dropped as many points. Lennon is a class player - he'd get in all/most Premiership sides. Wouldn't have Defoe though. Not consistent enough, and over-priced (like Bent). So anyway, my initial point was that our "average Spainards and has-beens/criminal British players" are doing slightly better than your "young english and overhyped" players. Which is true. |

And I'm saying it has a lot to do with your manager and the fact that our key players have been injured most of the season - poor excuse but true. I wonder how many games you would win without Carragher in CD (King) and Gerrard not in the team (Carrick) |
