Cookie in DC last weekend

Just spotted this onTFI.

 

That would be great if Dempsey was in Fulham colors in january.

 

Dempsey at the cottage would be super! Adu could be a good signing as well. Both would need a crash course in prem speed/pace though.

1. Adu? Thinking value for money.. dont think so.

2. "Both would need a crash course in prem speed/pace though"

- What a LOAD! not that the Prem isnt 'quicker, but that there is THAT much difference.

Petty = MSL Sympathizer

For all his rantings about other people or parties not using common sense and not owning up to the realities of situations, he appears to have his head in the sand on his beloved MSL.

Get with program Fog! If you move from MSL to EPL, it should rightfully be referred to as "graduating".

 

Well I've said before I think Dempsey will d superb in the EPL and I'd love to have him at Fulham! Adu, that would be interesting, not really sure how he'd do. Is there an others he could possibly be looking at? Boswell, Parkhurst, wouldn't be Jospeh as he's injuried??

 

Re: RE: Re: RE: Cookie in DC last weekend

There's that Middle School League again and there's YOU putting words in my mouth, AGAIN!!!

It IS Graduating... point out where i said it wasnt!!!!

PLUS.. fewer than 10 % of MLS players will ever be suitable!!!!

How is that different from OTHER first Div Leagues!!!?

PLUS it isnt speed and pace MLS players have problems with, it's native ball skills like first touch and accurate passing.

My view IS common sense.. yours is elitism.. so there!

DCHeather...I can't believe you missed Cookie in your own town!!

Anyways, I agree with DCHeather that Coleman could have been looking at any number of players at the game. For example, Simon Elliott. I'm not saying he's a bad player in any way, but of all the MLS players in the league he's not one that would have been on the top of my transfer wishlist of MLS players. Dempsey and Adu are the obvious options on who he came to watch, but who knows. Maybe he was just on holiday.

 

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Cookie in DC last weekend

Heh...if Elliot is anything he's consistent in his performances. He always does his best. So against a mediocre or out of shape midfield .. like Fulhams in the Crew practice game.. he obviously stood out.
And dont forget it was the right place and right time for Elliot; Fulham needed an experienced mid quickly and Sigi had just been named for the Crew and Elliot didnt want to play for him again.

But this is different, as you say..
I suspect he came in to look at one or two specific players, but he would go back with notes on several more.

 

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Cookie in DC last weekend

Agreed with above, Adu is going to hit a big time club; I read somewhere that he's looking at Chelsea, MUFC and Real Madrid. If by some strange happenings he ends up at Fulham, it will likely be a temporary stop on his way to a bigger club.

Dempsey, on the other hand, would be great to have at Fulham. He's passionate, skilled and hard working. Can you imagine if we land Dempsey AND Gooch? (likely a pipe dream, i know). We won't know who to sponsor next year!

 

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Cookie in DC last weekend

Sorry...but Adu is not coming to Fulham. For a guy with his aspirations...not happening. I could see Dempsey however...and the guy I'd really like would be Joseph as a holding mid....he's a quality player.
