Clint Dempsey to be a Cottager?

Looks like Clint Dempsey will get his wish and move across the pond during the transfer window in January. Destination: Fulham FC. Everything's depending on him getting a work permit.

It appears the deal is worth £1.5 million ($2.9 million) which would be a nice chunk of change for MLS.

This is a win-win all around, even if you're a NE Revolution fan. MLS makes out with some nice coin, Clint Dempsey gets what he wants: a chance in Europe, and hopefully will get a better player for the USMNT with him.

Clint will also be among friends with fellow US national teamers and ex-MLS palyers Brian McBride and Carlos Bocanegra and ex-MLS player, New Zealander Simon Elliott. Fulham FC is quickly becoming the team Americans who aren't Eurosnobs will root for with 3 Yanks normally getting substantial playing time.
