    If true, this is a great move. Dempsey is stellar.

    Not to burst your bubble ... ;)

    But that is a rumor based on a Times rumor, which is referenced in the winter window thread... and may be absolutely TRUE!!!.

    .. or not.

    So, you're saying it's a done deal based on solid info? :wink:

    I don't think anything would be confirmed one way or another until January. There will be loads and loads of rumours about this and I would say things sound good on Dempsey coming to Fulham in January, but until the club and or a solid source says that, it will remain in limbo.

    I'd say the chances of him going to Fulham are far better than him going to Charlton, which was the other club rumored...

    But I dont know him like I knew McBride... when it was between Brian going to Fulham or to Pompey, I fell over laughing at those who wondered which it would be.

    I love Dempsey's style of play. He really controls the pace of the game, he has speed and good accuracy.

    I'm excited about Dempsey going to Fulham. This makes it even more interesting to watch the whites play. Is there any other team in the EPL with 3 Americans?

    Nope.. Manccity and Fulham two on selection list. Manure has two {one besides Howard} on the books I believe.. or did.

    If you're thinking of Rossi, Petty, he's pretty much disavowing his citizenship in hopes of qualifying for Italia.

    Reading has two also, and Blackburn at one point last season had FOUR on the books, but two were basically GKs who were learing from Friedel and have moved on.

    Rossi won't consider himself American then I have no reason to. Its his decision but that doesn't mean I have to like it. He means no more to me than any other Italian player.

    Interestingly enough, the "profile" music on FFC's MySpace website is Mr. Clint himself with a fitba rap -- the same on as on the compilation strip!

    Not sure if that makes it official.

    Are we sure Clint is coming? I know there were a lot of newspapers basically saying there was an agreement. But why would he say he would decide this week on which club he is going to?

    HatterDon, most of those celeb profiles on myspace are created by fans who go to great lengths to make everyting seem authentic.

    From what I'm told, LEGALLY, he is unable to say he has agree any form of contract with another club whilst he is employed and contracted by his current team. Although, until it is OFFICIALLY on the Fulham FC website, anything is possible. (Remember Reyna?)

    Don't remind me. Are there any pictures out there on the internet with him with the Fulham jersey? I tried to find one one day and couldn't.

    Ugh, stupid Reyna, you choose wrong dude. But in hindsight may be it was for the better.

    Yes, most definitely for Fulham's betterment.

    Reyna looks like he needs a cane out there.

    That was then, this is now.. though I'm glad to see you agree with me that the Red Bulls going after Reyna would be yet another tick on their rep as the worst run franchise in MLS.

    Not sure if there is any change, but Steven from WSD on the Monday podcast talked to Clint at the Nike event this past Friday and said that Pomy was also looking at him. He did express that he wasn't keen on Charlton as they could be relagated. He also mentioned Everton. :(
