Clint Dempsey

[~LFCHistory~]

Dempsey has scored a few goals, has experience would give the squad depth. Every other team has a squad with loads of options from the bench - so should we.

Sorry but those are the same excuses that were used last summer to justify the signings of Adam, Downing and Henderson. Dempsey is 29 years old and playing for Fulham, there's a reason for that. He would also want big wages and if he comes here and flops he'll end up just being another over the hill wage drainer like Joe Cole etc.

Sometimes I get the feeling that if we signed Kevin Nolan plenty of our fans would argue all day that he would improve us.

Perhaps that's because very few people had seen either of them play before they signed for Newcastle. I personally don't watch foreign leagues very often with the exception of La Liga.

Oh and on your hindsight point I knew from day one that Carroll, Downing, Henderson and Adam were atrocious signings and that we could easily have signed superior players last summer for reasonable fees and wages despite not having CL football.

You should apply to be one of our scouts

Well He sounds like the polar opposite of our previous scouts

[BrooklynRed]

IF it were true he'd be very similar to Sigurdsson as a player for me, making it even less likely.

Still I can almost hear BrooklynRed masturbating frantically at this news.

What?!? Just heard the....

In all seriousness, I don't think he's a world beater, but he scores from midfield and we need goals.

There wasnt too many people shouting that we should have been signing Cabaye & Papiss last summer

Thats the thing its very easy to look back in hindsight

That's because it's impossible to look forward in hindsight.

[Exiled_red]

Has he signed yet?

No, but it was easy enough to identify the signings we made last summer as substandard without hindsight.

[Eric Swindler]

IF he was available for between £4-£6M he'd be a worthwhile addition to the squad.

4 to 6 million? Are you mad?

4 to 6 million? Are you mad?

You'll notice an IF at the start of my post.

I am sure they'll want far more than that for him and if that's the case then not worth it but IF he was available at that sort of price then it would be a good move for us.

He does only have a year left on his current contract

Especially whilst looking back in anger.

You should look forward to looking back in anger, it makes you think back and reflect.

And to think it was only last year FluxKev was blasting posters, posting off topic. Who'd have thunk a year later, he'd be joining in the inane...err, ness with Ronanm taking his place.

[Gazzla]

I'm dead against signing Dempsey, look at last years debacle signing supposedly the best players from lower to midtable clubs and we drop towards midstable. Dempsey is another Adam, a player which the entire team is build around to play to their strengths.

He will not be afforded that luxury here.
