Yeah we could compare career stats, but why stop with Defoe? Let's sign Alan Shearer!
Imagine I used that same argument as a reason why Rio should be kept in the team ahead of Caulker or Dunne. Everyone would laugh at me, and quite rightly. Nonetheless, Rio's overall ability is off the charts, he was one of the world's best centre backs for a decade.
Defoe is a speedy striker who has just turned 32. Of course he isn't at the level he was in 2010 and he'll never get there again.
