Clint Dempsey sold

Good luck Clint. I think he fulfilled the brief this year and did what he needed to.

He'd probably admit his form wasn't as good as it could have been but for me, he delivered some key goals and assists - that for me filled a VDV sized problem for us. Not quite as well or quite as productively but either way I think CD did alright for us and I wish him all the best.

Totally agree -- best of luck Clint!!

Hopefully we sold for profit. At least lowered the wage bill.

Not my first choice and probably not anyone else's either, but anyone who had to endure the 90s and early 00s will know he's a long, long way from being the worst player we've had in a Spurs shirt. Filled a big hole, chipped in with some valuable goals and assists, so thanks, Deuce.

Oh Dear Lawdy...just wait until BC sees THIS:

http://metro.co.uk/2013/08/06/clint...-him-return-to-tottenham-this-season-3913224/

"Clint Dempsey can return on loan to Tottenham or any other Premier League club in the winter as part of a contract which will earn him more than David Beckham banked during his stay in Major League Soccer.
The United States international has moved from Spurs to Seattle Sounders in a £5.8million deal after signing a three-and-a-half year contract last week.
Dempsey has a clause in his contract allowing him to go out on loan when the MLS season finishes in November and he could return to Spurs, although Everton are believed to retain an interest in the Texan.
Spurs may be keen to take him back as manager Andre Villas-Boas admitted it was a difficult decision to let him leave because of his versatility and popularity with both staff and team-mates.
The 30-year-old, who scored 12 times during his one-season stay at White Hart Lane, will earn an annual salary of £5.2m which tips the pay handed to Beckham when he joined LA Galaxy, New York Red Bull striker Thierry Henry and other European stars who have crossed the Atlantic to ply their trade.
The reason the former Fulham player has been so richly rewarded is that he is a top-flight performer currently in his prime.
Seattle play in front of regular 40,000 crowds and are funded by an ownership group including Hollywood producer and director Joe Roth, who Is responsible for Alice In Wonderland and Snow White and the Huntsmen and television hit Anger Management."

US Fans were on "Dempsey watch" waiting in all the various airports he may potentially arrive in.

In order...
