He's done really well at Fulham this season especially but not for me at Utd. Don't know what it is about him but i just don't think he could take it up another level which he would have to do...Now dembele could be an option?

The general consensus seems to be that we need a midfielder this summer - what about Dempsey?
He's been exceptional for Fulham this season, and I'd love him at Old Trafford. Thoughts?

HELL NO PLEASE! he's a filthy player and we don't have any space at United for players like that! Watch him play.. every time he jumps for a ball he swings his elbow and its always a red card challenge.. he broke Sendaros's nose (when he was at arsenal), broke vidic's cheek bone, knocked out terry.. WHAT THE HELL!?

Could be the new Teddy Sheringham. Even at 29 he has still got 4/5 seasons left and if what Danny Murphy said is true about him as a very hard worker in training i think he is worth bringing in if Berbatov goes. Get him for under £12 million he would be a great signing.

While a good player, I don't think he's the man for our midfield... Just let Liverpool buy him for 35 Million when he's worth 15!

I think Dempsey is a solid pro. I'd hate for him to end up at a place like Liverswamp

He's good talented player but too old if you ask me. Don't think we really need him as he usually plays as a winger or as a striker. Don't want us to sign him as there are some really talented young players availible in the summer.

Talented player, not really a CM more of an attacker.

He would be a good option for a versatile attacker, can play on the wings, midfield three or behind the striker. Score goals and assists, great player the only problem is his age.

He is a late bloomer. Only in the last couple of years has he looked like a top player but maybe a big fish in a small Fulham pond.

Liverpool or Arsenal will make him their desperate last minute signing in the summer like Arteta was. £15m will be more than enough for Fulham to sell.

I think Dempsey would be a good signing. With Berbatov and Owen likely to leave, question marks over the futures of Scholes and Park and Giggs finally starting to show his age, we could use an all-rounder like Dempsey. He can play almost anywhere, has got 2 good feet and is proven in the PL. Some people say he isn't good enough. I disagree. He has been Fulhams best player almost every season since he joined them and could only improve with better team-mates.

Dempsey is a good player but I don't think he's good enough for United.

"general consensus"? Its so obvious we need a quality attacking midfielder, thank god scholes came back out of retirement.

In europe its our inability to keep possesion and defend that has let us down, nothing to do with going forward.

Re: Clint Dempsey?

leeman — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 08:35:35 GMT

his age is the only reason we wont get him, he maybe could do a job for us but at the age of 29 i dont see him coming at all. We want young, creative midfielders who will add something different and i dont think dempsey has much more to offer us that what we dont already have. I could see him doing well at everton or maybe even liverpool but not for us in my opinion.

He is a good player and he has indeed had a very good season but I dont think he is United quality tbh. I think though there will certainly be no lack of takers for him this summer. A lot of clubs could do much worse to be fair.
