sixsecondsleft Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I am in 2015 with Southampton, and decided to check out how Clint Dempsey was doing wherever he was now, and my search returned NOTHING. Odd, I thought. So, checking Fulham's history, he was released in 2013 on a free, and supposedly couldn't bare playing soccer away from Craven Cottage? He wouldn't have been old by any means. It's kind of sad to see the best U.S. player gone and unclickable. Any other odd "disappearances" from FM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhhonlyfan1984 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 hows that odd? he was over 30 and that is old enough to retire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mije1983 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 But he would have only just turned 30 in the preceding March. On my game though he is still going strong in 2016 and while he isn't doing anything spectacular, he is a regular for Fulham and just signed a 2 year contract extension.

sixsecondsleft Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm sure I am biased, but it surprised me. Hard to see Landon still playing in my game at Everton at 33 while Dempsey is gone. Anyways, just found it peculiar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnjo Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Could have got an injury? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Or it's the issue with high reputation players refusing too many offers after being released on a free and consequently retiring after a prolonged spell of unemployment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljwjones Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It is not just higher reputation players, I have a player called Tommy Amos that I like to use, youngster. I signed him for Badalona for season one and we got second in the 3rd tier in spain but missed out on promotion. I then left Badalona and went to england for two years, then I found myself back in a lower team in need of a striker so look him up and he was gone. He would of been 23-24. He wasn't injured as I checked alot on him but h just vanished. He wasn't old, I mean right now he is in America IRL playing for a college side this is how young he is. Maybe he got a serious injury and gave up, I have heard of this with multiple other players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
