Altidore was one of our highest earners on between 40k and 50K a week so not double wages for Defoe it a no brainer really as got rid of worst player I ever saw in Altidore for a proven Premier League goalscorer

Re: Football Season 2014/15

factor in clauses/add-ons and it could well be double, upto 80k possibly? i was going to ask if you're happy Altidore is leaving ;)

I can't say I'm convinced about Sunderland signing Defoe. It's an awful lot of money, and the way Sunderland are currently set up means he'll either be playing on his own, which he can't, or they'll be going to two up front, which I'm not sure they have the players for. I think it's a desperate move personally, and one which will backfire financially, but me Gran's Sunderland so I'm hoping I'm wrong.

It wasn't pretty but it was effective.

Shame about Wanyama.
