Dempsey = Potential Top 4?

Sunderland fan(living in South Oz) here in peace.

I feel I need to express my opinion and view over the potential transfer of Dempsey to Liverpool.

My Liverpool mate that I work with tells me that he would love it if the club signed him, but he doesn't fit into Liverpools transfer policy that prefers signing players around the 25yo mark or younger.

Correct me if I am wrong, and I am sure in the past you may have signed older players, but for the majority the above policy I assume is correct at this time.

He points out that it has something to do with the resale value of the younger players, should they wish to leave in the future.

However, my argument to him is that surely the signing of Clint Dempsey will potentially improve Liverpool's chances of a Top Four finish.

This in turn will convert to a Champions League place and more than cover any non resale value when he finishes his time at Liverpool.

Dempsey would be an ideal attacking midfielder that can score goals, the number of chances I watch you guys have during a game is incredibe. With a proven goalscorer in the Premier League in your side surely the gamble is worth the risk.

The alternative is to not sign him, maybe sign a younger unproven PL star from another country, and miss out on that Top 4 spot.

I watch Liverpool on a regular basis and feel that most games you dominate possesion but lack a bit of luck in finishing, the quality from KK last season is their, but a goalscorer is the key missing elemant.

My team Sunderland have just signed Steven Fletcher from relegated Wolves for around 12M+. He wouldn't be a major signing for your team, but at the end of the day if he gets us 10 or 15 goals a season, our fans will be over the moon.

To be honest I would be pretty happy if Dempsey joined Sunderland, but I know that will never happen, we can never attract top players like him to the NE, yet I get the impression that some(or most) of Liverpool fans don't want Dempsey to sign for your club?

Sorry if this article seems a bit naive, just curious as to what Liverpool fans actually want in order to improve the goal scoring problem.

That is all.
