So are you guys going to get Dempsey, or what? It would be great if Everton finally got Donovan for good, and create that rivalry.
Yeah, I really hope we get him.
He’s apparently in the Fulham doghouse atm (i.e. training with the reserves) due to telling management that he would like to leave for Liverpool. I hope we get a stronger American connection. I mean LeBron James is one of our owners now :P
And, we played a fantastic preseason game just now on Fenway park.
Dempsey is a quality player and will be an upgrade on Dirk Kuyt imho. He also brings in a great winning professional attitude. An American never say die and winning attitude. We could use some of that at Anfield.
Really looking forward to the new season now. Just tonight we progressed in the Europea league against some Belarussian opposition, but the signs were good. Not quite Barcelona, but we played a quality passing game I have not seen since the days of Rafa Benitez.
btw. You might enjoy this video made by famous Evertonian musician before the FA Cup finals this year. I think most scousers would like to see more of that, and have the rivalry return to the days of the “friendly derby”. Like when a full Wembley in the 80’s when Liverpool and Everton met chanted “Merseyside, Merseyside”...
