you genuinely have no clue.
it's not Holtby or Dembele's fault that Dempsey slows down every attack when the ball comes to him by miscontrolling it.
he had found his level at fulham, liverpool did well to avoid him and he's on a par with Fletcher in terms of people with poor judgment talking about "why doesn't a top club take a punt on him?!"
in your case, dempsey is excusable. you've got the american thing, so you're probably not that moronic, you're just blinded by some naive form of patrotism.
but dude is type average.
To be fair, Liverpool did "purposely" avoid him. Lucky for them they ended up with a better player in Daniel Sturridge.
As for Dempsey, he is not as bad as you make him out to be. he will improve.
