Why Defoe's not Jermain man
Sadly, the least surprising transfer in Pompey's recent history looks done and dusted.
From the minute Harry Redknapp hurriedly headed for Spurs, Jermain Defoe's interest in Pompey vanished.
Clearly, he feels no love for the club who rescued him from the White Hart Lane subs' bench and catapulted him back into the England set-up.
Clearly, his loyalty lies with Redknapp and, more galling for Pompey fans, himself.
We all appreciate a professional player's career is short.
But they are privileged and, therefore, commitment is the minimum fans expect. And rightly so.
The minute a route back to Spurs looked on, Defoe stamped his feet, shrugged his shoulders and showed a complete lack of respect to Pompey.
When one of your best players acts that way it leaves a bitter taste. Pompey now join Charlton and West Ham in being burned by the striker.
The manner of Redknapp's departure and his pursuit of Defoe since then lacked class.
Maybe they deserve each other.

I'm glad he's leaving. We need to get back to winning ways and we're only going to do it with players who want to give 100%.
We're better off without Jermain. Oh and by the way, thanks Spurs for the cash!
Defoe and to a lesser extent Downing are showing why football is just a sport driven by egos and greed. Defoe epitamises that and has done pretty much for the whole of his career. Anyway I hope he does well there. Break a leg Jermain ;)
now we've seen his true colours (apparently a different shade of blue and white) I'm glad he's going to..
and he missed that penalty on purpose i hope the little c u n t stays on the bench there forever!
