Clint Dempsey is good at......

[striebs]

Dempsey is miles better than he has shown so far . Good footballer , with Modric in the team he would have looked great .

I don't remember Dzecko , Balotelli , Tevez , Aguero begging to join us last transfer window .

Isco, Aubameyang to name but 2 who were within reach and significantly better than Dempsey

I think I've figured it out, he is good at giving the opposition an extra player on the pitch by being invisible.

I agreed with this even though its an understatement by 2 players

 

[Graysonti]

But he's cheap.......

 

[trevo]

I'm starting to understand why his nickname is deuce...

I thought that was his IQ

 

[King of Otters]

'Impersonating a footballer'. Actually, he's fucking shit at that as well.

Fucking Dempsey. Pisses me off.

 

[The Apprentice]

Call it knee jerk, call it realism. He is poor. No two ways of looking at it, he is poor.

What exarcebates it is the fact he's fucking lazy as well. At least if someone is poor (or playing poorly) I can appreciate it if they run theior knackers off. He doesnt.

 

[DIEHARD]

He isn't suited to the role we want him to play, too often he is caught between helping the front man and helping the midfield two. The role in general needs to be better defined, and Dempsey needs to have a role that suits what he is good at - being a physical presence, albeit not like a proper target man, getting into the box and scoring goals.

If we can improve our all round attacking and defensive play we will see more from Dempsey, however I think JD and Adebayor is better than Dempsey and a striker at the moment. AVB has a tough decision on his hands

It really is not a tough decision.

I just don't get it. Obviously didn't watch Fulham regularly last season but I didn't think he was playing the number 10 role for them. I had thought he would play forward right to add goals and get back post headers for us. The number 10 role is probably the most important role in the team

United have Rooney/RVP
City have Silva
Chavs have Oscar mata hazard
Scum have cazorla

And we got clint fuckin Dempsey. Sigurdsson is so much better as well but that's for another thread

Can anyone please find out how many times Dempsey touched the ball and when he dd how many were forward passes?

The thing with Dempsey is that he simply isn't a creative player. He is basically Frank Lampard, a goal scoring CM.

The problem is because he offers nothing else, it can feel like we are playing with 10 men a lot of the time and we have to compensate for him and we don't have good enough players fit at the moment to be able to carry him in a game. If we had a team full of flair then maybe we could just have a guy who scores and does very little else but he needs to chip in with creating chances and that simply isn't his game IMO.

Lampard is a good passer too... He is a mixture of Jenas with his fitness, Hudd with his passing (hudds is a bit better actually better) and Dempsey with the goals.

Dempsey is just shit

 

[DJS]

He just doesn't seem to suit us, some players just suit a team better then others.

Maybe he'll do a Pienaar and be loaned back to Fulham in Jan with a view to a permanent move.

I was chuffed when we signed him but think we need someone a little more creative for that central attacking role and personally on the wing I feel we need nippier players.

I'm not saying he's poor by any means as Fulham were gutted to lose him but having had VDV previously he isn't really good enough.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Did anyone watch Hoddle on Sky, saying without being too obvious that Dempsey was shit today and can't see what he brings to the team.

 

[IMISSVDV]

Dempsey is shit and shouldn't be playing for Spurs

Think that sums it up pretty well.

 

[brasil_spur]

Must say I don't like the scapegoating that's being done of Dempsey.
He's doing ok, but he will never be accepted at Spurs as we demand a van der Vaart in his position.

Can you give some examples of this?

I dont know about that. One of my colleagues at work who supports Fulham was far more annoyed at losing Dembele then Dempsey...

 

[harrowspurs]

Brenden Rogers had a right result not signing him.

Maybe 3 and 1? ?

We've got to stop poaching Liverpool targets.

Were they not too fussed about Dempsey then?

I thought they were upset losing both.

Mind you, he refused to play for them so they probably won't take him back now...
