Kolek planning to go pro
1. As long as Carly Lloyd and Shannon Boxx form the literal center of this team, we ain't going "uptown," baby. Too slow, not enough ball handling skills. Retire, ladies, please.2. Who are these people Jk is bringing into the team? Why? Is he planning a major overhaul? Not sure second-rate Bundesliga players are the wave of the future.

Curious where Dempsey will go, as is contract is up, and has said he wants to play in the Champions League. Possibly Germany or France?
If Garreth Bale leaves Tottenham at the end of the year, could Dempsey take his place?
Doubtful. Spurs would likely look for a player would likely look at someone like Lucas Podolski before Dempsey, though with a Champions League place all but wrapped up and the strong position they took with Modric last summer, I don't see them losing Bale. In all honesty, I don't see Dempsey as a better option than guys like Kranjcar and Tottenham have a good deal of promising youth loaned out to other Premiership and Championship sides that could fill the void.
Dempsey is highly thought of and it wouldn't be a shock where he landed. The bigger key is likely Redknapp. What happens to spuds when he bolts for the England job? There's already a belief that Modric has agreed a move to Chelsea in the summer. Van de Vaart is a known bouncer around. That defense is aged a bit. And up top their best option is loanee.Wouldn't be that surprising if Bale decides now is the time to jump ship.
Modric has said if ManUre come calling, he'd go there before Chelsea. He's interested in winning trophies as well as the pay raise. Levy is a very intelligent Chairman and will do what he can to keep the current crop of players, but I agree with you that whomever replaces Redknapp if he does take the England job has a load of work.
CHAMPIONS: ManU, ManC, Liverpool, ChelseaEUROPA: My head says that Arsenal or Tottenham will manage to comeback to grab fifth. Otherwise perhaps Stoke or Everton??? I just don't trust Villa or Newcastle.RELEGATED: Blackburn, WBA, Swansea
