22 goals last season can play in a number of forward and midfield positions, good 2 feet, creative, good in the air.
If his best season is behind him and only returns half of those goals last season for us, I'll accept it. We need goals from different areas, we cant just rely on Luis Suarez, other players need to be doing their bit and chipping in.
But I gotta feeling, Fulham are gonna want big money regardless of the age, they will point towards those goals and the way he played last season. van Persie leaving Arsenal isn't good for us either, because they can use that as a ploy to get more money for Dempsey.
£10mill is a steal, but you just know Fulham are gonna want £20mill.

Arsenal will not be trying to get Dempsey as a replacement for RVP. That said, I would like Dempsey. Quality player, and great for marketing in the States.

I aint saying they'll be after him, what I'm saying is the price van Persie goes for will be a means for Fulham to say "Well he went for that much, Dempsey is worth this much...."

Because we're at the same level as Fulham? Look at it this way, footballing level wise there is'nt alot to choose between us, they did the double over us last season, he would be swapping London for Liverpool, wages wise well we already know FSG are cutting wages so how much more we can offer him i really dont know, we play in front of bigger attendences yes that might or might not make him want to swap and I really, honestly dont think Clint whose a Yank cares to much that we where once a big famous Club over twenty odd years ago so I dont think he will sign for the history part. I honestly dont know if he wants to swap, he may be settled with his family and coming to us might not be worth it in the long run compared to what he already has.

Footballing wise they are ahead of a lot of teams in the league. Maybe not the midfield or the defence, but the forwards play some fantastic football.
If I was Rodgers and was looking for a striker/creative forward/attacking midfielder, or maybe 2, I'd test Fulhams resolve and offer a firm but fair offer for both Dempsey and Dembele.
That could tick 2 boxes straight away for Brendan. Followed by a Pirlo like simple midfielder and a bit of cover at the back.
Another £40-50million and better management, I have no doubt in my mind that Champions League qualification is all but guaranteed. At this moment in time looking at last season, we are simply not good enough, better management will get us closer I feel. But we need a few more players, like he says.

I will definately agree with you about Dembele, what a signing that would be if we could pull it off, heard he is nailed on for Spurs tho but that was under Redknapp so dont know, would take that little wiger off them in a heartbeat too whatever his name is, like a little Aaron Lennon him.

Would not consider Dempsey at anything over £8m at his age. Even if we signed him I would put him in the squad player bracket rather than regular starter. Not that I don't like him. I think he is a very good player but we can get more for the £12m being mentioned.

I like Dembele. Quick feet and very skillful. Closest player I have seen to Luis Garcia in that sort of position.
