Gaffers interview talking about Defoe says enjoy him not going to around much longer? Does that mean he's going back down south or his age and time he's left to play?



20 Dec 2019 22:48:15
Just watched the interview there and sounds pretty definite that he’s for the off.

It’s a real shame because he’s a class act but he can’t be happy with the amount of minutes he’s played.

Says a lot that Alfredo is keeping a player of his calibre out of the picture.

Unless Defoe is in a episode of the Sopranos it purely down to his age.

CBS it means enjoy him end of! He is a perfect gentleman a perfect professional and hope fully stays with us and helps with our younger lions coming through and he is 37! Shame we didn't acquire his services at an earlier stage Defoe is the perfect professional football player and adversary.

What rot. He's talking about his age, not anything to do with him leaving. Where do you people get your negativity from?



21 Dec 2019 02:56:52
Briangerfan, yip that's the way i think the way. The manager was meaning it .

Daisy yore it’s a question, a valid question! as the gaffer gave no context to it why are you so aggressive in your reply? nobody is being negative if you read posts, the only negativity is in your pitiful post.

Watch his interview on rangers tv talks about age.

Defoes staying at rangers. he clearly has a soft spot for rangers and he ain't going to get more minutes if he gets a recall back to epl. he will sign a deal to finish his professional career with us. he will be here for 2 in a row maybe even 3.and can i give my opinion. if he played instead of morelos this season. same games same situations he would be on a higher goal tally than morelos. i just think he's a much more gifted striker than morelos.

he knows a pass when he sees one and his eye for goal is deadly. which is why in another post i said i would start him before morelos on the 29th. morelos may have a much higher goal rate than defoe but that's only because gerrards played him more. he's not greedy with the ball. imo if he was same age as morelos with the same speed he had at that age morelos wouldn't get a look in.

i know morelos will be hard to replace but have faith in defoe. he shouldn't be playing second fiddle to anyone. its an opinion so please don't slate me for it but when morelos leaves wether it be january or the summer. defoe should be our main striker with gerrard looking for a bench warmer for him. the guy rarely puts a foot wrong and knows exactly where the goal is. he's proved he's still got the fitness levels needed for up here. he may be 37 but he plays like a 25 year old. still a good 2 3 years left in him for spl.

I'm sure he was referring to his age, nothing more sinister than that. Thought his goal was pure class. Top drawer.



21 Dec 2019 13:48:05
Pretty definite that you don’t understand sg was simply brushing on Jermaine age .

Try to look at the big picture.

I love Defoe but he played at Ibrox when we lost 2.0 and never got a sniff with the game changing when Alfredo came on last twenty . so don’t kn what your in aboot 9?
Stevie plays it perfectly.



21 Dec 2019 17:42:07
I'm positive gerrard was referring to defoe's age when saying the fans should enjoy him! He'll finish his playing career with us and will play on for at least another couple of years! A player coaching role and he's definitely staying with us beyond this season IMO.



22 Dec 2019 10:08:16
He also played at Ibrox when we beat them 2-0 mate with his dummy setting up the 2nd goal.
Alfredo does more all round, holding it up better, stronger in the channels, the air and creating chances for himself.
Defoe though has better movement and is a better finisher in the box.
We also play a different style and create more chances from different areas when Defoe starts, you only need to look at our form last 6 games of last season, hard fixtures we won comfortably when JD starts.
I think Gerrard has rotated them well for the majority of the time usually starting with El Buffalo on big matches especially away from home but think Defoe deserves more minute from the bench than 10 here and there.

Jermain Defoe is still a quality striker even at 37 now. This wee fella has the physique of a 27 year old and you can see what a top pro he still is and the way he looks after himself. He's a goalscoring machine as his goal against hibs at ER proves. One chance he got and the ball is nestling in the back of the net. It was an extinctive finish from a thoroughbred of a goalscorer! No wonder he's in the top 5 striker's list in the history of the english premiership/ premier league! Morelos has already learned a lot from defoe and has become much better because defoe is at ibrox. Defoe is still the most natural, gifted goalscorer, we have at rangers. Any chance that falls to him in the box gets tucked away with applomb! Its a must we get him signed permanently, beyond june of next year. I think its certain he will stay and end his career at rangers, as everyone can clearly see he loves our club and our supporters! A striker coaching role also in the pipeline for defoe and little wonder!

anybody know what's happening with young Leon king?

wdw.



20 Dec 2019 21:47:16
We are going to struggle to keep a hold of this kid. Most probably money will talk and he will sign his first pro contract in premiership. Development wise this kid is head and shoulders above others of his age, he’s played levels above all thru pro youth.
