American international Clint Dempsey was the subject of interest once more, for a possible loan spell, but according to the Hounslow Chronicle the deal was shelved due to the injury woes of the R`s West London rivals.
An R`s Insider told the Hounslow Chronicle: ‘We need some extra firepower to make sure the promotion plan remains on track.’ – Hardly required an insider to tell you that one I feel!
Dempsey is an attacking midfielder who can also be deployed as a striker, and he comes with a wealth of international experience scoring 9 goals in 28 appearances for his native USA.
The 25 year old made the £1.5m move from New England Revolution to Fulham back in the January transfer window of 2007. If this deal is tacitly dependent on Fulham`s injury list it may well be resurrected at a later date as the likes of the £6m rated Kamara gets back to full fitness.
I’m linking to Vital Football, which is one of those things you try not to do, but they’re referring to the Hounslow Chronicle so it ought to be safe enough.
Dowie delighted with Cook. I read a match report recently that said Cook looked like Gheorghe Hagi! Strange Days…
