TOPIC: Dempsey

Whats going on , a little injury early on but fit for most of the season and not got a look in at a team 2nd bottom.

Who ?

He's doing alrite at Seattle Sounders, 23 goals in 49 appearances

Had thought he might have been the Championship attack-minded player we might have been after. Seems daft him not being out on loan if he's not going to get a look in there. What a waste.

If they were to loan him out Id imagine they'll look to put him in League One.

Hope he's chuffed that he lets his agent make his decisions for him.

Give he lad a chance. He's making the step up from league 2 to championship and is only 19 or so. He has been on the bench whenever I've looked and I expect will get pitch time when he's ready.

I'd be much more worried about my career if I was Brad Potts.

Potts is playing every week, it's not the case of give the lad a chance,it's he's not been given the chance , at this rate we could find ourselves in the same division next year.

Thought I saw Potts scored the other week

I would expect he is delighted with his agent... I would be.

Alternatively he could have been content with playing in the bottom tier, surrounded by players who are worse than him, being coached by coaches who probably can't improve him, playing in a craphole stadium in front of uunder 4k fans who barely make a noise, and getting paid peanuts for his trouble.

Good luck to the lad... he made absolutely the right decision. It's great to see a local lad with ambition to make it to the top of his profession, instead of being content with being a big fish in a small pond, as some fans want.

Only 93 minutes on pitch so far this season. As already said it does seem a bit of a waste.

I was told he was on £200-odd a week with us, wanted to stay and asked for £1k a week, and club offered him £700.

Then along come Hudds and offered him £4K a week. If that's true, you can hardly blame him.

He did sign a new deal though...

It is very important at his age to playing football ,the money is great and so should the training he gets however it does not detract from the point he is not getting a look in .

He was on about £400 a week. I won't disclose my sources but there very reliable.

re Dempsey, he was told better to get games here than be a bit part player elsewhere - Agents eh! Wonder if he`ll be at Liverpool.

From what I hear Dempsey didn't want to leave in the first place.

Oh aye?hiveblue wrote:

I hope he doesn't get much of a look in, we get promotion and sign him back, then he can continue to flourish here.

If I was being unselfish it would be nice to see him get a fair chance to test himself against championship opposition and would love to see him do well.

Dempsey is a wonder goal and a few decent performances away from getting properly noticed in The Championship and trebling his wages.
