Although George has proved his vision with countless facts, fans and media are still on the sidelines about his move to sign Dempsey.

You know, as the number one star of American football, Donovan's two trips to Leverkusen ended in failure, why does George think that a fledgling hairy guy has the ability to surpass Donovan and gain a foothold in the Premier League, which is the same five major leagues as the Bundesliga, and has a higher level?

It is precisely for this reason that most people believe that George brought in Dempsey not because of how talented the American midfielder is, but out of consideration for the development of the American market, which is similar to the intention and nature of Manchester United's previous signing of Dong Fangzhuo from Dalian Shide.

It's no wonder that these people think so. With Xavi Alonso, Mendieta, Steven Gerrard and Davies in front of four first-class central midfielders, how many opportunities can Dempsey get at Tottenham if he plays in attacking midfield?

Moreover, compared to the overcrowded central midfielders, Tottenham's reserves in the midfield and centre-back positions are much weaker. The departures of Vincent Kompany and Vermaelen have left Tottenham with a bit of a stretch in both positions. Although George moved Phil Neville to the middle to fill the hole, the depth of the squad and the overall strength inevitably declined!

Faced with a tidal wave of doubts, George had no intention of explaining further. Because he knew that in order to dispel those doubts, Dempsey had to be convincing enough at Tottenham????? Otherwise, no matter what George says, I'm afraid it won't make much difference!

In George's plan, Dempsey, although it may seem like a chicken rib, actually has a very important role. On the one hand, because Davis and Mendieta are both veterans in their thirties, it is difficult to say how much of their competitive form can be maintained at their peak. Having a player like Dempsey who can be used as an instant player and doesn't ask for playing time as a substitute can maximize the team's ability to fight against a significant dip in the middle of the season. On the other hand, it is because Mascherano and Speed in the midfield position, as well as Nemanja Vidic in the central defensive position and Ledley King in this life, are all players who are extremely consistent in form and attendance, otherwise Kompany and Vermaelen would not have applied for a transfer this summer. So, although Tottenham's reserves at centre-back and midfield are much thinner than last season, they are not a problem to cope with multi-fronts after setting the tone for the Carabao Cup and FA Cup to focus on developing young players.

What's more, although Dempsey is not well-known, but at this time he does have the ability to gain a foothold in the five major leagues, in his previous life, he joined Fulham at the end of 06 and immediately sat in the main position, and even helped the "Farmer" to reach the final of the first Europa League (formerly known as the UEFA Cup), from a relegation professional to a midstream team. Therefore, if George is used correctly, Dempsey, who is versatile and can play multiple positions up front, will be a wonder for Tottenham in the new season!

With George signing Dempsey with his last first-team spot (the Premier League rules limit a maximum of 25 players over the age of 21 to be registered for each team, and there are no restrictions on appearances under the age of 21), this means that Tottenham's transfer door for this summer has been completely closed. At the very least, it is impossible for the first team to be at full capacity without any reinforcements!

In this way, before the start of the pre-season training camp for the new season, George completely finalized the 25-man squad for Tottenham's first team. Next, whether Tottenham can continue last season's glory in the 05-06 season and build on it will depend on the speed with which these new signings integrate into the team and the effect of the team's pre-season training camp!

Given that the likes of Klose and McCone played in the Confederations Cup in June and would require longer time to recover and recuperate, George specifically approved the return of the players to the training camp with a delay. However, before the Community Shield final against Chelsea, they must return on time for a week-long training session (or commercial match) in the United States. Otherwise, George would not have been merciful to those who disobeyed his orders, and Sheringham, who dared to openly argue with him, was now reduced to the point where he could only mess around in the Championship!

By the way, this time in the United States to practice for commercial games, George not only brought his own Tottenham, but also invited Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid three clubs to participate!

The reason for this is simple: Tottenham alone will hardly have enough influence on American soil, even with the help of the LA Galaxy and Donovan, the top stars of American football. With Real Madrid, they're different. Although Chelsea's appeal is a little weaker, the addition of Real Madrid and Manchester United, as well as Beckham, Donovan, Howard and Dempsey, who are well-known among Americans, can definitely attract a lot of popularity and commercial sponsorship!

Originally, David Gill planned to use the influence of Dong Fangzhuo's play at Manchester United to make a wave of gold in Asia this summer. However, after hearing George's proposal, the Manchester United CEO immediately changed his mind and decided to join Real Madrid, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in the summer to play commercial games in the United States!

Jokes aside, and not to mention the need for United to be actively involved in such a collective action in order to maintain the alliance between the three clubs, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid – the three most powerful and influential clubs of the day – in the US gold rush, and the help of the LA Galaxy, the local snake, to generate interest and ensure attendance. In this way, making huge profits in the United States becomes a practical thing to do!

Again, although the football market in the United States is not as hot as the big four leagues, and the interest and popularity of football are far less than those in Asia, its developed economy and vast market can ensure that those clubs with enough influence can drink a strong gold and silver soup!

So, for European football clubs, the U.S. market is like a gold mine that needs to be tapped. As long as they have the ability to mine it, the profits they can get from it are absolutely beyond the reach of the Asian market!
