Dempsey is an average player overall. Most Americans struggle to admit that.

I never wanted him in the first place (yes, I like Clint)... always said we should be shooting higher to get to the level we need...

That said, we were left awful short of attacking players in the 11th hour this summer...

edit: Also, thankfully Henderson turned down the deal where we tried to swap him with Dempsey...

Well, he's a goal scorer. He's not great at possesion, pressing, or movement (though he has moments at each).

I've always thought that he can be disruptive in the flow of the offense - some games for the national team it feels like he doesn't do anything - feels like we must have a red-card and are down a man at times.

But he picks up fouls and has moments of absolute brilliance. You dont' score 17 (or however many it was) goals in the EPL by accident.

You have to know that you will put up with 60(or 88) minutes of some frustrating play just to see that moment of brilliance. If it leads to a goal, its worth it.
