Ever any talk about what Dempsey's transfer fee would be if Fulham tanked? He's getting a bit older, about 30 now I think. Still, I always loved watching him when he was with the Revs.
I read a Frank D'ellapa piece the other day criticizing the style of play in MLS as being so physical that it discourages skillful play. The old Rev teams had a reputation for that, so he says it is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black, but he said that Dempsey used to get so hacked up that he really could not show how superior a player he was in MLS Cup finals his teams were in. By the time of the Cup, he was always injured due to the fouling.
