I've heard there are some West Ham fans who still resent Jermain Defoe for handing in a transfer request at the age of 20, the day after they were relegated. Are they mad?
Fourteen years later, he is a brilliant goalscorer. The club have bid £6million this week but I would go through £10m and even as high as £15m. Sign him. He guarantees you goals, he will guarantee their survival and their progress. He will be the master goalscorer they need in that new stadium.
I can’t begin to explain how distressing it must have been for Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini to look up and see Simone Zaza.
