why would that desire involve us? unless he's happy with just the 2 games.
I could just imagine Dempsey at Arsenal. He'd fit in with the average culture at the club but that's it, Wenger doesn't sign players that everybody in the country knows. Fulham is about his level anyway.
I could see it. Why? Kroenke surely would love a Yank in the team to help sell the club in the US, especially a player who's so well-known in the US (only second to Donovan, surely).
We already bought a Korean to help sell some shirts, and Dempsey could actually do something for us in the midfield too.
Also, he is one of those 110% effort players, which I admire.
But this move wouldn't happen til the off-season even if it DID happen.
