Clint Dempsey

[Kenneth]

Here's another theory I have.

When a team signs a **** player, these arguments pop up.

1. "He has a great work rate"
2. "Would be useful as a squad player"
3. "Gives us options and possibilities for different games"

When a team signs a great player, these things are never really mentioned, because he's a great player.

Great players fit any occassion and any game, that's what makes them ****ing great.

So let's sign more of those, and less of the not so great.

We can't.

I agree we should be looking to have a quality first XI but I've also come to the conclusion now that it's unlikely the first XI will ever play at the same time. We're cursed with injuries . Having Dempsey as part of the squad will be a good move imo. He's a good player.

I'm not sure who else we thought would deal with transfers?

I think it's a bit harsh to have a dig at Ayre saying he's a novice and it'll take some time.

Ok, Dirk leaves, Dempsey comes in. That's a first team improvement right there.

Not in the slightest.

[RichC]

Based on last season it is sadly.

[Gray]

Isn't

[RichC]

Isn't

Based on stats it is.

[yamiedo]

Performances too. Lets face it. Dirk was not good last season.

Not in the slightest.

Nonsense.

Shame really as Dirk was one of the best players we've had in years, perhaps not the most techinqually gifted but certainly worked his socks off and was a big game player.

this dempsey saga [its not quite a gylfi yet] divides some fans.
please remember that no one is saying kuyt has been rubbish for us. he was definitely a good player for us, and had gone beyond the call of duty many times.
this last year has shown he is no longer the palyer he was, so like any player that is past his best, he needs to be replaced for the good of the team and the club.

dempsey [now] is definitely an improvement on kuyt [now]. anyone who says different is either being nostalgic or is closet fulham fan who doesnt want to see him leave.
