Surely Defoe is worth a bid for me 4 strikers are needed Jelavic kone anichibe Defoe is going to struggle to get picked and must relise a World Cup place is in trouble as I see england taking 4 strikers and 2 places gone with Rooney and wellbeck providing stay free on injuries that leaves 2 places up for grabs so here are contenders

1. Carroll - will play week in week out if fit upto him to deliver

2. Lambert- again will play huge amount of games and will score goals

3. Sturridge- will play well this season depends on Suarez if he stays do they both play? He will score goals but how many

4. Defoe- really his last chance to play in World Cup although he has been regular in england squads his place for spurs is going to be from bench and although he will score goals will he play enough to warrant that call up

So that's about it I think there could be few late contenders if anyone has fantastic season like abonglaour but I would say its 2 from the 4 I picked as it stands I think Sturridge and lambert will go as we will take a target man and lambert is far better than Carroll has lambert is great link man as well ice cool on penalties which you can't ignor so Defoe needs to make a decision he may need to leave London to get first team football but will get goals go on Martinez offer 5 million

Still think it's funny that everyone is saying certain players need to move to make England's World Cup Squad and they might not even make it to the World Cup.

so we buy a greedy injury prone 30 year old who has maybe half a season left in him just to get him to the world cup? no he is crap and waste of money plus don't matter how cool lambert is at penalties because lampard, rooney and gerrard all come before him ed do you rate defoe and would you buy him? {Ed025's Note - i do rate him, but he,s not likely to move away from london IMO..

what I meant ed is if he wanted to move here would you pay 6m for him? tbh i'd rather have kone anyways {Ed025's Note - one of our forwards would have to go for that too happen skittle mate..

Defoe is deadly in the 18 yard box and is one of the best finishers in the league. I'd definitely take him for £5/6m, if Jelavic isn't doing it Defoe will.
