[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish he were at a less prestigious team that still competes at a high level. A Leicester under Brendan Rogers, Crystal Palace etc would be a better fit. Dempsey seemed to do just fine with his career at Fulham.[/quote]

Agreed. But I am not sure he is the player that Dempsey was. He was absolutely second rate in all of his Chelsea appearances, constantly out of position. That attack improved significantly when he was benched. [/quote]
 
Pulisic just turned 21 a few weeks ago.  At that age, all Dempsey had really done was play in college.  He might have had a 2-3 MLS games under his belt by then, but that's it. He didn't go to the EPL until he was almost 24, and when he did he went to Fulham, not Chelsea.  In his prime, Dempsey was a very good player for a mid-table, occasionally Europa League level club.  He was never good enough to be a consistent starter for a Champions League level club.

Whether Pulisic will be able to reach and maintain that level remains to be seen.  But again, he just turned 21.  [/quote]
