I find it hard to believe that Clint would trade mid table mediocrity at a London club on the Thames for a mid table club located in a Liverpool slum. Y'all have a cool song,but that's about it.

Outside of Italy, it has to be Andrea Pirlo. He literally is all of Juve's success this year.


Crazy Milan let him go because of injuries, he's played every game this year!!!

Then how do you explain Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, Luis Suarez, Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, Stevie Heighway, Kevin Keegan, Robbie Fowler, Bruce Grobbelaar, Pepe Reina, etc...?

These are all world class players that could have said no to "the slum" that is Liverpool. But they smartly chose not to because it's the biggest club in England. You must not watch much football if you think ANY of the players at Fulham would stay there when Liverpool came calling.

By number of trophies standards? By my standards? Who cares, we get it, United have an argument for it. That's not the point of the thread.

I tend to agree in the sense that he's really still one of the few best players in the world but not often enough recognized as such anymore.

Well he's nearing the tail end of his career, but in terms of DLP's, there is Xavi and Pirlo neck and neck, and then nearly everyone else. He's probably underrated by members of this board, though.

That's rich BPG. We're talking about Dempsey, not just any Fulham player. Clint is at an age where if he moves it probably will be to experience CL football. The last I checked you may be closer to Championship football than CL football. The younger guys at Fulham could be lured to your council house,but I don't see Clint moving to the North West.

if Arsenal gets a point tomorrow the so called biggest club in England will be closer to qualifying for the Championship than qualifying for the Champions League.

They weren't offered a contract at OT?

Since when is Old Trafford in London? This is a conversation about how people would apparently rather play in London than in Liverpool. Look I'll agree it's not the most posh, upscale place to play. But don't pretend like Manchester is either. You have nothing more to brag about than we do. Other than the fact that Manchester was one of the worst places to be during the rioting last summer.

Obscurity? No. Mid table mediocrity? Yes. Until your lot address Anfield's problems that's where you'll be.

Yeah we had a bad season. Get over it.

I'm enjoying it too much.
