Ferguson is a long-time admirer of Defoe, who has dropped down to fourth choice behind Robbie Keane, Dimitar Berbatov and Darren Bent.

Defoe has only 18 months left on his contract and neither the player nor the club are prepared to talk about a new deal.

he is very technically gifted but i guess he would just be another striker at united that cant header.

i know we tried to get defoe before, but i am not sure if we would still be interested in him. IMO there is no way he can challenge rooney, tevez and saha

Not Defoe, please! he isn't suit for MU! i don't like his game.

Defoe is a very good player.

However, United have 2 vertically challenged forwards in Rooney and Tevez. We need a forward with some height and aerial abilities imo.

Shame that Defoe doesn't start for the Spuds. Hopefully he finds a team where he can start week in and week out.

I really dont even understand why he is still with the Spurs. I personally dont think he is that bad a player (better than alot out there I think) but as funk said I'd prefer a striker with a bit more height to him.

Btw funk, your fav club team is 'Mancheter United'?

I agree, Defoe not bad. but i think he isn't such good as were Ted Sheringham, or Ansy Cole or York or Ruud Van Nistelrooy...

and something else( i forgot): there are a lot of talanted players in united academy. Let them chance!

Don't think Defoe is bad, but neither is he good enough.

Height? Berbatov anyone? As much as I hate to say Drogba would be perfect for us. Jan Koller (spelling??) anyone? haha

if defoe started week in week out wouldnt be a bad player just not for united
i do believe fergie will bring in another striker but will just have to wait and see

hiphopsoul · 12-18-2007, 12:03 PM

I would like to see Defoe come to united, he has been linked with us ever since he broke through at west ham! recently I have liked watching Cameron Jerome of Birmingham City, i think he would be a good signing, if he can prove that he has what it takes to make it at a high level & english! lol

I think Defoe would be a great player to see at man utd and he would be a cheaper option.

Don't think Defoe's the answer to the striking problem, some height would be good, such as Berbatov or even Huntleear, up the reds
