Can you really blame Liverpool's mediocre season on Anfield?

Dempsey is not going to Liverpool. They're in a terrible state of flux, won't be playing in the Champion's League, have an incredibly out of touch manager (sorry Kenny Dalglish fricking sucks now), and a lack of any direction despite having the best technical director in the league in Commoli.

20Legend is right, why would a 29 year old, Dempsey leave for a club in a similar competitive position as Fulham in the latter stages of the prime of his career.

It's going to take an entire overhaul of Liverpool to fix the stagnant cesspool at Anfield. The only possible world class player on Liverpool right now is an unlikeable racist, who is inconsistently brilliant on his best day.

Dempsey has made it clear that he wants Champions League football and that's all in a potential transfer. He's done everything for a Fulham club that's midtable in every category..

The fact that our stadium is next to slums does not means we'll be mediocre for the rest of time. I will bet you that we finish higher next year than we do this year. If I'm wrong I wont ever post again.

This was never what I was arguing. But to claim that any player of that caliber wouldn't move from London to Anfield because we play next to slums is retarded.

I agree we're in a tough situation. But again, I would reiterate that this conversation is about Londoners not transferring to Pool because we play next to a slum. I appreciate the kind words though.

Terrific. Not what 20legend and I were discussing.

I made the point that you are not a big club because Arsenal wins games? First,I'd probably say match, not game. Second,I'm only interested in Arsenal when it benefits United. Like tomorrow.

Just putting in my two cents.

Today I'm more focused on dispelling the rantards who think that the best hire for LSU is an inconsistent coach at North Texas.

Not entirely. One has to factor King Kenny into the equation.

Well you refuted my point that we're a huge club with some statement about Arsenal getting a point. So I was confused as to where the last 120 years of our history of success went.

Will be about as useful as a gold star sticker when you guys take the title.

Would you rather have a gold star sticker or no stickers at all?

I was pointing out simply that if the Arse gets a point a point tomorrow Pool will be closer to the drop than CL football!!!

I agree, Dempsey should get to play in CL, so that would leave Liverpool out...

Liverpool should not be going after players like Dempsey

Good... we're all in agreement...

I'd think Dempsey may jump at the chance to play at Liverpool even without CL. Unless he goes to France, I'm not sure there's any solid CL qualified team for next year where he fits in. . .

Serie A would probably be a good fit in terms of his skill set but I think the Roma rumors are ungrounded and simply because he's American. Style-wise, Roma may not be a great fit for him (not to mention Roma is loaded with quality attacking players and desperately needs upgrades at every defensive position this summer).
