Deuce Will Score Nonstop
He'll Get Minimal Playing Time
It's the Perfect World Cup Prep
Clint Will Be Tempted To Stay

Hope he finds his scoring touch

Deuce would be delighted to help out in any way that he can. Giving Fulham a little push is probably what they need.

Can't go anywhere but up after 0-6 against Hull.

Good to see Dempsey staying fit at a place he's very familiar with (even though it's been a year and a half since he last wore the Fulham shirt). They could certainly use him to fight that relegation battle.

He will score goals but not nonstop. Based on his introduction interview it seems he is happy to end his career in Seattle. This will be a good prep for the world cup as he will be training and playing in a top league leading up to WC 2014.

He will see plenty of playing time at the highest level and re-find his scoring touch for the Cottagers.

Shane Wood
Should get good PT and perform at the level he has shown he can.

If Dempsey does well, Fulham will pay top dollar to Seattle to keep him the rest of the season in order to prevent relegation. It would be a win-win-win...

CP
Excellent prep, but he will only score a few goals on an otherwise weak EPL side.
—
Stephen
He'll probably do OK and be a regular starter, but not make much of an impact. Fulham will likely still get relegated

He'll definitely see plenty of time on the pitch. But nobody is going to be scoring nonstop for this rather terrible Fulham team. Decent, not perfect, World Cup prep. Doesn't matter if he's tempted, he's coming back to Seattle whether he wants to or not.

Fulham could use the help, and he didn't look at his best in the MLS; good opportunity for him to sharpen up.

Win-win for Clint and FFC

I hope I'm proven wrong but I don't see Clint scoring many goals. He wasn't in great shape at the end of the MLS season and has been off since then. He's going to need a little time to get acclimated and then his time there's almost up. I still think playing in the EPL and staying sharp during this period is important though - just tempering expectations.

Good way to keep the mind and body sharp. Might not do much scoring, though.

When he plays, he scores. Happy to go back to Sounders

He will play decently, get a serious injury, and these loans will be rubbished in the future.
So say we all!
