Clint Dempsey

[Mattshark]

Likewise, there's absolutely no basis in your statement that he won't get better.

Ok, I will rephrase it, it is very unlikely he'll get better and imo he has never been a better player than Kuyt.

[Gray]

People are missing the point. It may strengthen the bench, but I'd rather the money used to strengthen the first 11. We have youngsters who can step up and supply squad strength.

[Mattshark]

Perhaps then it was poor management for all of those players then?

Perhaps, but I never thought those players were any good elsewhere either or under any other manager

[Norbs]

But, as shown with Lucas, you need quality in reserve. You also need a squad to rotate, it's not just about having 11 great players

If he's as productive for us as he was for Fulham, which is the only questionable thing, then he'll be a very good addition to the squad.

[Gray]

I watched every home Fulham game last season (work),and don't think he'll perform at a top club. His age is also an issue for me. He wants a payday.

I'll concede that

then what would be the point of being young again?

Hopefully Viagra would come to my rescue

A hard-on with no libido sounds like a nightmare.

A hard-on with no libido sounds like a nightmare.

Libido with no hard-on is even worse.

Anyway, back to Clit, I mean Clint.

[Kenneth]

True.

[DannyMan2006]

Hmm.

He's better than Dirk.
He's better than Gylfi.

Does that mean we should sign him? Well based on that alone, no.

But, would he make our first XI better? Yes.

Does that additional factor mean we should buy him? No.

But we have to factor in these:

1) Is he good value at the price paid?
2) Is he the best player we can afford?

Answer two we may never know. Answer one it's wait and see. But if it's yes to both those then we should sign him.
