I doubt Clint would trade Craven Cottage for Anfield.


I don't. We suit him perfectly. And where else would he go and get a real shot to start every single week? And don't tell me some top tier French club because even though they qualify for the Champions League we all know they aren't going to win it.

I like Pool, mostly because their fans are great dudes.


I don't know any of their fans, and everytime I watch the games I hate pool's players a little more.

United is next, but mostly because i hate all teams like them/yankees/lakers/patriots.. then chelsea/city/spurs are all on the third tier.. i.e. hate because they're our competition rather than anything they do.

ETA: If they got rid of suarez and picked up dempsey, they'd quickly move down on the hate list.

While I can understand your sentiment, you do realize the club has played football before Suarez? Our players have never really been known as douches, in fact the opposite. And that's for 99% of our history.

Dempsey's only got a year left on his contract after this year. If he doesn't sign an extension sometime this summer Fulham will pretty much have to sell him. I don't know how much he'd cost considering his age and contract situation. He's very important to Fulham obviously but they can't let him walk on a free.

I don't know where he'd go though.

Anyway, I like Joe Allen from Swansea. Britton too, they have a number of underrated players.

Fulham will need to get the most they can. The ManCity of France is most likely IMO.

As we discussed before Anfield is a shite hole. I think Clint's at a stage in his life where starting every week is not his highest priority. If that were the case he could stay at Fulham, start every match and become a Craven legend.

Unfortunately I've only been watching for about 2 years.. Like I said it could change - I'm not sure if it helps or hurts that Pool is my dad's unofficial club (We both decided to get a more vested interest in the EPL after the last world cup)

If he leaves London Glassman may be right.

I sure as shite hope we are trying to get better than Dempsey. I'd take him, but not as option A. I do like his versatility.

As a 29 year old. Rarely do attacking players make the same impact on the field once they get past 30. He'd be smart to re-up at Fulham because I don't think he will make the same impact at another club. His versatility helps, though, but I wouldn't spend very much on him.

Like I said, I'd take him... I like his versatility of being able to play anywhere in attack...

But yes, I want better than a would be 29 year old coming off a career season.

I agree that he should stay at Fulham.. might as well turn himself into a Cottager legend..

Clint Dempsey isn't underrated, not criminally anyway

There are new rumors that Arsenal are interested again, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I will go with Jose Bosingwa. He can attack and not defend with the best of them. He throws equally shitty crosses in with either foot. His speed is as middle of da mall as it gets. Ohhhhh underrated meaning good but not on everyone's radar NOT underrated meaning he could be a lot worse.

As if players give a shite about that. He plays at CRAVEN COTTAGE. If you're trying to insinuate that Fulham has a stadium even remotely comparable to the history and prestige of playing at Anfield, one of the most famous pitches in the world, you're kidding yourself.

Who is desperate to plat in the UCL. That will never happen at Fulham. PSG will overpay for an old player who can score 10 goals next season.

Yep. Although if the price is right our owners would jump on it. Anything to broaden the Liverpool market into the US.
