The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE LAST MINUTE OF THE LAST HOUR OF THE LAST DAY 31st August 2012

[paulcumpstone]

Lol I'm sorry guys, if u don't rate Dempsey at £5M u know fuck all about football!! Simple as that.

stop making everything about the cash, sod dempsey i'd sooner keep VdV and not have Levy putting 5mil in his pocket by signing Dempsey.

 

[shyfx2k2]

is mout's in the lodge btw?

He's apparently in the Algarve preparing for the weekend fixture with Porto.

 

[Bware]

Yep, disappointing

 

[Mr Pink]

Dempsey is a very good player - but we need that ball player in Moutinho....if we get him, then brillant - if not, losing VDV and Modric, either way you cut it we are weaker.

 

[Brewster]

Fuck this, how have we fucked up the Moutinho deal?

fuck sake

 

[Gbspurs]

I like Dembele and Demspey but they are replacing modders and VDV. If someone said that would happen end of last year I would be very upset .

 

[CJMurray]

So Dempsey's shit, yet he scored the same amount of goals last season as Adebayor, mostly from midfield, in a Fulham side.

Haters will hate.

 

[nialsy2005]

fuck me. theres a whole lot of spoilt children in here. DEMPSEY IS NOTHING LIKE MOUTINHO OR VDV. HE IS A FORWARD. NO ONE HAS SAID THAT WE ARE SIGNING HIM RATHER THAN SOMEONE ELSE. STOP JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS.

 

[cockerel downunder]

Just woken up ... Wtf is going on?

 

[werty]

If Dempsey had signed on any other day I'd be happy. But I want my Moutinho!

 

[Babylon22]

Sell vdv and buy dempsey? Wtf

 

[SpursSince1980]

don't hate on dempsey. i think he would be a direct replacement for rafa. he's fitter and far more consistent at this stage. moreover... he has a winning mentality... something that the bulk of our team seems to lack.

that said... we still need Mouts for Modders.

 

[haxman]

Server was starting to lose the battle. It's the avatars next

Thought as much. It's working.

 

[teejay]

Have you thought about it that we dont need direct VDV replacement in system used by AVB.

 

[raf18]

wow dempsey's 29. No thank you. Might score goals but his passing ability nothing compared to Rafa

 

[Egyptian_lover]

This fucking unbelievable. Clint Fucking Dempsey. Quite simply he is shit.

He's scored more goals than any of our strikers for the last 2 seasons and he plays for Fulham... But you'd probably rather sign Loic Remy who's scored less goals in a worse league for way more!

 

[gaz73]

well levy wanted a double act to match ricky and ossie... brazilian pair?? no... porto pair?? no... we end up with the fulham pair! absolute joke... not even close to replacing modric and vdv..

 

[kesh]

Llorente, Moutinho, Remy, Leandro, Willian, Hulk! He snaps up Dempsey! In DL we trust. Hahaha

 

[mrlilywhite]

is mout's in the lodge btw?

In the Algarve....not happening!!

 

[Rooga]

I want us to sign Dempsey if for no other reason than it will totally piss off the arrogant Liverpool fans I know.

 

[Stoof]

VDV sold to bring in Dempsey = downgrade.

Dempsey brought in to replace VDV who wanted to leave.

Who scores more goals in a "lesser" team.

 

[sebo_sek]

OK I'm off to watch a bit of Dexter. At least the suspense there is intentional and actually quite pleasant.

 

[thinktank]

Yep, disappointing

Understatement of the century.

 

[amathews3416]

Dempsey had as many league goals last year than Adebayor and can provide cover at four different positions for us. I keep hearing people moan about no goalscorers, this guy can score goals.

Christ, if we were signing a player from a foreign league with the type of goal scoring record Dempsey has the last two years in the Prem, people would be having a circle jerk right now over it.
