Clint - would we take him back? would he come?

[DiegoFulham]

Spurs are planning a clear-out as they plan to build a team around Gareth Bale. Striker Emmanuel Adebayor and forward Clint Dempsey are likely to make way with the Londoners hoping to bring in Aston Villa's Christian Benteke, 22, and Barcelona's David Villa, 31.

I admit that as a football fan I can be fickle.
Therefore I'd happily take him back as he could help the team improve next season. I don't think he'd come though.

[EJL]

Not sure. I'd take him back if it didn't mean hindering Kacaniklic's progress.

[rusty shackleford]

Our top PL goalscorer, id definitely have him back. He woudnt come though, obviously a falling out between him/MAF/Jol or whatever. He'll probably end up at Everton

[MJG]

NO

[Edwatch_Winston_Malone]

Yeah right and the other goal machine Dembele...

[FFC1987]

Nope. No sell on value. rather buy an unproven for less and hopefully gain more sell on value.

[jarv]

yes.  if he wants to stay in London (for his family) his options are Fulham  West Ham or super ambitious QPR. I would have him back, but only on our terms.

[St Eve]

No

[Lighthouse]

Yes I would but he wouldn't come back.

[Frankie-Peter Taylor]

I would, I think Jol would, I don't think Al Fayed would, I don't think he would.

[Northern Cottager]

I wouldn't be as happy if he came back as I was when he was originally here. Not got the same impact and he was a fool about how he left us.

[Berserker]

He won't come want to come back to us

Weren't they already trying to build their team around Bale?  How does continuing to do the same thing (after missing out on their goal of finishing on the top four by two points) require a clear-out?

Anyway, I'm not sure if I'd take Dempsey back, since there isn't really a spot for him at this point, but if they want to offload Dembele that'd be a different story.

[FFC1987]

Lets face it, I think Spurs were a striker away this season from a top 4. Saying that, if they manage to bring in a class striker and a decent CM, I can see them finally doing it. However, will they get sufficent money from flogging the likes of Parker, Demps, Huddlestone and adebayor? Maybe, but I'm sceptical.

[SaltfordWhite]

Not sure about Dempsey, although if he is still good enough then I'd have him back.

But I wonder if this is the window that we finally snare Huddlestone. It sees to have been trying to happen for decades.

[ElissonSnygg]

I definetely would as he will improve our squad. But will not return me thinks.

[MJG]

Nice to see so many would be happy for a player who went on strike and did not want to play for club to come back.

[grandad]

He can go & suck it in MLS.

[ToodlesMcToot]

Speaking as an American fan of Fulham, a fan of Dempsey as a Fulham player, and Dempsey as an American player, I'd say no.

We all move onward and upward, hopefully.

I will say that Fulham miss him for his attitude on the pitch just like we miss that of Murphy. If we had had just that bit of the character of those players this season, "relegation" would've never entered the conversation on this board.
