Quinn31 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I've cooled a little on the idea of bringing him in on loan. It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up back on loan at Fulham or West Ham, though. If Seattle was willing to pay most of his absurd wages, I'd still consider it, as he's a better option than Naismith, Barkley and Mirallas both have been a little slower lately. That's just my opinion, though, and I know plenty of members on this board will disagree with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Based on his form for Seattle I would have to say no. I hope he picks himself up though, because we really need him to be on form for the national team.

Cake Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 He had one season with Fulham when his goal tally got into double figures. He's somehow managed to feed off this and earn himself some serious money. He was shite at Spurs, but so are loads of others who go there. When the going gets tough he's someone who can be relied upon to get going where the action isn't. When he's not scoring he doesn't create. I don't care what his other stats are, heart rate, family history, preferred pre-match meal, he's clearly back where he wants to be and definitely where he belongs so he should stay there and keep the fuck away from Everton Football Club.

Guest Nikica Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Meh. Used to think he was better than he actually is. Edited November 16, 2013 by Nikica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee_in_LA Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I just don't see Dempsey wanting to come to a situation where he's not going to be a guaranteed starter. As an Everton fan, I want to see Barkley continue to develop and as a Yank, I want Demps to get as much playing time as possible leading up to the world cup.

Partially agree with this, although Barkley is still young and probably doesn't need to play 90 minutes every week, the squad could use some freshening up and some players will need a rest come Spring. Barkley isn't entitled to a spot either, it seems like he gets special treatment from fans regardless of his performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree that Ross doesn't deserve to start every game and was pretty satisfied when he was benched for those couple of games when Osman was in form. As for Demps, I don't see Seattle giving him up longer than 2 months (similar to Donovan's 2 loan spells) and wonder whether he is worth the addition for that time period, especially with his wages. He would start what maybe half the games he's here for, which would be like 4-6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, he's been out of form for awhile, and I don't see him being a Martinez type of player. I don't know, he's a hard worker, but I feel like Martinez likes more technically gifted players.

Yeah you pretty much echo my thoughts. He would've been quite an addition just a couple of seasons back but now... I'm not too sure anymore.

Romey 1878 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I see him as a regression to a more Cahill like supporting striker, and I'd much rather have a skillful player in that role because I think it gives us more and, really, a worker in that role with the way we play now (not as many launched balls) doesn't really benefit us.
