Spectacularly wrong?? That's going too farOne or two regular posters have been proven spectacularly wrong by Dempsey but it's human nature to never admit it. No big deal.
He will continue to improve.
i love clint, and hope he continues to play as well as he has done for the past 3 games, plus add some goals as well, starting on thursday.
Spectacularly wrong?? That's going too far
What are you talking about? so 3 good games cancels out the 10 bad ones (or however many it is).
He's done well these games i agree but in terms of his all around ability i think he's limited and have thought this even before we signed him. As i've said countless time he's excellent at making deep runs and finding space but i feel generally he's limited in everything else (which is why i compare him to Tim Cahill and Kevin Nolan who are superb at finding goalscoring positions and space but in terms of general play they're limited). Dempsey is a slightly technically better version of those 2 but i hope he continues this form.
Not sure that's going to far. There has been one (who shall remain unnamed even though everyone probably knows who he/she is) who might be regretting his/her words a little.
Then again i bet they'd enjoy nothing better then to regret those words.
I tried to post in upper case but failed. But I agree with the poster
Dempsey's been such a bastard for the Americans in international play - quick adapter - that it seemed only a matter of time before he clicked for Spurs. Those two winning goals he's scored typify his nose for the net(AVB: "Immense olfactory dimension. He smells every rebound.") and he's showing some deft touches as he settles in.
There's also a little sandpaper in his game, not afraid of contact or traffic. May not be everything VDV was - good game day stubble, wicked shiner, needs to get more emotional and pick up a hot wife - but we seem to be going the right way in filling that gap, even if it is somewhat by committee.

do you know what a hot wife really gets up to? some kinky shut.
mate...that is top-class writing!
Not being asked to play midfield anymore either, which I think is a sensible decision by AVB. Dempsey actually looks good in the number 10 role, and has put in some lovely through balls from that position.
That's one of the things I love about both VDV and Clint - their street fighting instincts - so good when you have a bit of 'attitude' in the team.Nice of you to say so. But look what we've got to work with - a good ol' Trailer Park boy from Texas. Same humble roots as VDV.
He has never played in midfield
He played in midfield a lot last season and quite a lot in his career. This season he's played behind the striker.
Not sure if that counts as midfield or upfront but no need to split hairs.
