Of course Dempsey has some say on where he plays now but ultimately was there any Euro club willing to pay that transfer fee and raise in salary? I'm sure a mid table club like Everton or Norwich could use Dempsey's quality but were they willing to pay? Obviously not worth it to them or there would have been more of a bidding war.
I'm glad one of the richest teams in MLS is flexing its muscle...finally. The other monied clubs like Galaxy still has a DP spot it needs to fill based on their tv contract and Toronto FC badly needs to make a signature move to save that fan base.
