I think it'd be a good move for Spurs & a massive blow to Pompey's bid to stay in the premiership (yes, Pompey are about to join the relegation battle, along with the just about everyone else, including Spurs).

In my opinion we should sell defoe and get a striker with some versatility to play out wide too, keep Crouch as he can play up front on his own.

so you saying utaka?

Jokes aside he was a striker before he came here and looked good at the start of last season when he played redknapp used him up front.

Defoe is a decent player, not in strong form right now and if Chelsea are going in for him, it's a wrong move for him. He wants regular football so where is he going with Anelka and Drogba playing or available? To escape Pompey? Well, it would be his choice but if the likes of Everton came in for me, Sky Sports appeared to have mentioned Aston Villa, they're better places for him to go.

Unfortunately Defoe is a player that needs the team to be built around him rather than him slot into a team and instantly make a difference.
I also have doubts about his strength of character as he lets his shoulders drop when things are not going his way. Neither he or Michael Owen are really on fire at the moment but I know who I'd put my money on to keep trying and keep going.
Defoe for England? maybe off the bench for the last 20 minutes or so.
It is the dearth of English forwards that inflates the price and expectations beyond that which is reasonable and puts the players under this unwarranted pressure. They are all human beings, not play things for accountants. .

Firstly Craig Bellamy, Jermain Defoe, Lassie Diarra, does Harry have to keep talking about other teams players!

Secondly IMO Defoe will join Spurs before February 2nd(?) deadline day this year I think, Harry can't go a deadline day without making a transfer shock, hopefully we're not left in a Spurs type situation where our main striker goes and we have no time to replace him!, Jermain Defoe has come in for some stick recently, some say he only tried when Harry was here I say he's not the type of striker and dosen't put the effort in no matter who the manager is unlike Crouchie who gives 110% every match, ideally Defoe out £12-£18m in Benji £3m-£6m, both players I think would fancie a return to the side they started 2008 with!

===============

Aye. Southgate has already stated he doesnt want to sell Downing, and then Harry goes and says "I like Downing but I don't know whether Middlesbrough want to sell him".

Well, he does know, because Southgate told the press. Portsmouth clearly have enough problems at the moment, without having to worry about Harry Redknapp rocking the boat when Tony Adams is trying to get players to settle.

More respect lost for HR.

why does harry redknapp do his transfer dealings in the papers? Surely this is a form of tapping up players. Its totally wrong IMO

I hate Harry Redknapp. I have nothing to do with Spurs, Pompey or any other team he has been associated with. I just hate him though. I hope he gets sacked when Spurs face a relegation fight in April.

whats the point of being a fan?

players don't share any loyalty, paid mercenaries that they are.

managers can get sacked anytime.

fans live under a misconception that they "control" a club. rubbish.

fans are there only to fill pockets of the multitude of sponsors and fat cats of companies running the show.

enough of this stupid fanaticism.

just enjoy any game and the skill of any player irrespective of club.

its just a game.

If it comes to a country, then I can understand.. but "club loyalty"?! WTF?
