    He's a likely target, no? Scored a bucket load of goals last season in an inconsistent side and has improved year on year since in England.

    Came across this earlier (goals from last season) and somewhat surprised me. Good movement, first touch and finishes with aplomb. He'll never be a edge of seat player, but I'd rather us buy a Dempsey than a Ba.

    He'll be cheap and nasty (in a good way).

    Yep. 29 is the age when a footballer can no longer run.

    As for Demsey, good player no doubt about it. Can finish, he's strong, he's a team player and he can link the play well.

    As a squad man, i'd be more than happy to have him but not as a regular starter.

    He is too old. You dont build for the future with 29 year olds.

    OK, I give up, why are there so many thread on Dempsey?

    There were a lot less threads about Rivaldo when we tried to sign him and he was world class.

    But had his best seasons with Fulham when he was playing up front, or in a free role. We can do better with the 9-15 million it will cost to buy him (Fulham aren't looking to sell).

    If we buy him, I expect him to be a squad player like Maxi or Kuyt. But for 9-15 million, I'll pass.

    Hasn't he a year left on his contract? I can't see Fulham not selling.

    Just because a player has a year left on his contract, doesn't mean he comes 'cheap' (relative I know) ... especially when you're talking about us either buying or selling! :(

    Would be interesting to see if he wants to go from being a guaranteed starter to a squad player ... I can't see it - especially as he's coming off such a good year.

    He's another "good play in a shit team" if you ask me. Like Adam, Downing and Henderson were. I think we should be aiming a little higher than Dempsey.
