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

if dempsey isn't too expensive it would be a good move

our new system requires high energy pressing game based on youth and mobility. As much as Clint is a decent player he has neither of those attributes. Why get rid of Kuyt if you then buy a similar player who is only 2 years younger? Also his wages would reflect that of a senior player where we are looking to pay 40k per week - As was the average last summer(Echo reprted this)

i would say Clint gives more than kuyt he can finish for a start

bizarrely joined the same time and Clint has 50 league goals and Dirk 51 league goals. Baring in mind 20011/12 was Dirks worst season of 2 and Clints best of 17. Dirk far more consistent over the last 5 seasons.

both decent players, but we don't need decent ageing players. We need hungry, young players

i look at last season and now which player gave more Clint still gibes and dirk was on the slide

meant Clint still gives

I totally agree, my point is FSG are preaching that we want players at the start of their careers who give long term value. Not at the end of their careers such as Clint and obviously Dirk.

maybe your right but have we got the time to wait for them to reach their potential

yep actually

Bellamy was outside that model, and he was one of our best signings last season.
