KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Thomas the tank engine on Clint Dempsey

Dembele reminds me nothing like Luis Garcia.

The mans turning ability and close control is second to none. Fantastic player. Very creative. Can also play in many many positions.

His turning on the ball reminds me of Scott Parker. Strange comparison to make, but hopefully you get what I mean, if you've seen Parker turn with lots of little touches and feints.

Another link in the papers this morning regarding Clint Dempsey, looks like the interest in this player is hotting up, would love it to of been Dembele though I think he would be a fantstic signing if one of the bigger Clubs dont get him.

SO are we buying Dempsey? Good player in my opinion.

Well if we are, we are going to need to move sharpish if we are to get him in before these qualifiers start, we will need someone up front as it looks Like we will lose Bellamy to Cardiff and the Uruguayan will be appearing in the Olympics so we could kick off with no recognised forwards.

Isn't Carroll a forward?

Not with the strike rate he has for the Club no, would you be confident starting the season with just him to rely on for goals.

After the way he was performing at the end of the season and in the Euros? Yes. Yes, I would.

I wouldn't rely on Carrol. He has a long way to prove himself. I do like Dempsey though, He is so underrated I couldn't believe it. He would be an upgrade from anything that we currently have.

But again anyone would be an upgrade from what we have. LoLzz

I'd like to have both. 3 quality forwards in the rotation is what it takes these days.

the problem is signing players like Dempsey is that the fans have bought into the ideal of buying young talented players, paying decent but not silly wages and then having an asset to trade on later if required. To buy Dempsey as decent as he is strikes me as something totally opposite, in fact I would say it's a 'commercial' department signing. This is worrying if that is the case.
