I like Defoe but if he was as good as everything thinks then he would be in the Premiership and England squad by now.

I'm not really sure what Eriksson is playing at by not at least giving him the chance, as he hasn't done badly at under 21 level, and England are in desperate need of a couple of top-quality strikers, its just a case of giving the guy a break.

I'm also sure of 2 things about the reason he isn't playing in the premiership. Number 1, in the summer they rejected a few bids for him, and now, he's priced out of a lot of teams budgets, and some teams just aren't looking until the end of the season when they have guaranteed funds.

Also PR, your just basically stating that because something is bad, the people it effects are devoid of the right to say something else. That's pretty arse-backward really.

Of course it has to do with him being in Division 1. If he can barely score there (and thats when he isn't suspended) then how can you throw him into international football. The golf of class is miles apart from Division 1 and international football too.

Personally I think Alan Smith is miles better and deserves a break. Hell James Beattie deserves a chance at a full game on his goal record alone.
