Fulham & Charlton looking at Dempsey
It seems Charlton Athletic is interested in offering Clint Dempsey a trial ahead of a possible move to the EPL in January. However, Charlton is not the only London team interested in the New England midfielder, as Fulham looks ready to bid on him.
Dempsey would not say which clubs are making an offer, however he did say "things are happening quickly."
However, MLS would have to decide to let him go, which they did not want to do during the summer. Still Dempsey is optimistic.
"(MLS is) either going to make money off of me or (they're) not going to make any money off of me.
"I think they're going to take this opportunity to cash in on me, make some money and help further develop this league. At the same time, it allows me to accomplish one of my dreams."
It would seem Fulham is willing to offer MLS £2 million ($3.77million) for Dempsey. That is a large amount of money.
Dempsey is going to Europe, the question is will MLS make some money off it or not. This is not a small amount for the league. To put it in perspective, this one sale could bring the league about 25% of what it will make off the royalties from their new television contracts next year.
Dempsey is a star player, but he will not bring $4 million worth to the league in 2007. Why not make this a win-win situation? Let Clint go to Europe like he wants and get some money from it. MLS could use the money to help build the youth academies they just started, thus insuring more players of Dempsey's skill will be available for the league in years to come.
It really is a simple choice. Let's hope MLS can make the easy call.
