Clint Dempsey

[yamiedo]

Surely the most important stat is how good is he currently? Otherwise you could buy someone past their best based on goals scored many seasons ago.

Like Joe Cole for example.

[fatistuta]

Exactly like Joe Cole.

hmmmm isnt that the stat we used to buy Adam and Downing?

[badpiggy]

Not against discussing the stats thing to death - actually, watching other people do the stats thing to death, for a while maybe - but the only stat that matters is whether BR rates him or not. If he's right about players, then he'll be here in a couple of seasons and if he's not he'll be gone.

A combined £25m for Allen and Dempsey?

This summer is starting to feel a lot like last summer.

Premiership Proven it's the way forward, look at the roaring success we had last year with this tried and tested transfer method.

If you look at all our most expensive British signings over the years from the Premiership

Carroll - £35M
Downing - £20M
Keane - £19M
Henderson - £16M

Now let compare them with our most expensive signings from the continent

Suarez - £22M
Torres - £18.5M
Mascherano £18M

Absolute lunacy that we keep going down this route, the quality of players above and the prices speak for themselves.

You can also add Alonso for 10 million, Arbeloa for 2.5 million, Reina for 6 million, Agger for 6 million, Skrtel for 6.5 million, Luis Garcia for 6 million & Lucas for 5 million to the list. Also Torres cost just over 20 million btw...

Dempsey supposed to of not traveled with fulham on a pre season trip to try and force his way to Liverpool ..??

[joker]

Ben Smith@BenSmithBBC

Fulham insist decision is based purely on player's lack of match fitness. Dempsey did not refuse to travel.

yeah right

[Leyton388]

So clint Dempsey seems to be our transfer saga of the summer?

[Phoenix07]

So pre-season is supposed to be about building up match fitness and they leave him out because he lacks it? Can't get my head around that one.

I still don't even know how he'd fit into a 4-3-3 unless he's one of the advanced midfielders.

[Chazza]

Yeah if he hasn't travelled its becuase they expect something to happen

[Lee]

Didn't Eddie Johnson play for Fulham too?

Read from the bottom upwards.

Eddie Johnson @eddie_johnson7

Want other challenges in their career before its over. All you real fans out there get where I'm come from. Be blessed.

To all the fulham fans if I offended you guys in anyway I'm sorry. It's like any player who has done all they can at a club. They want other

Dempsey will be a great contribution to Liverpool. #topplayer

Andy Carroll on loan to west ham. Looks like its opening up space for my boy @clint_dempsey #fingerscrossed #USA #duece
