Oh shit, misread! I thought what I said was strange considering he is a winger.

FFS then. Still, good signing to replace Willian.

You assume Willian is leaving. I think only move Willian does is from RW to LW to replace Eden after he leaves this summer.

Let us all hope I am dead wrong on it all.

Our board are idiots! Only thing they see is yank dollars in marketing value.

If Pulisic was marketing signing why didn't Real Madrid or Utd didn't try signing him both them clubs have done marketing signings before  or even Liverpool american owner getting him he would been their poster boy for American soccer fans he was signed cause he as great potential to be a good player klopp was chasing him for years and if klopp rates him I think hes going to be a good player for us

At least we are doing something about the CF position.

We cannot continue like this. He's no Aguero or Costa but at least he knows where the back of the net is.

Dealing with Pulisic as a winger (I already know you made a simple error on the CF thing, that's all good)

No, he doesn't know where the back of the net is really

115 games at top level 15 goals total (the chart below is not updated for his last game) and that is on a crazy high scoring pinball offensive team.

Never more than 5 in one season. Only 10 league goals in career, in 80 games

Really hope his marketing side could benefit us enough to cover for that price. Americans will be crazy about him in blue jersey, that's for sure...

One more interesting thing - his dad is Croatian, hence the surname Pulišić. Having Croatian (total-footballing nation) and American (strong drive for success) background might help him too.

I so so hope so. I am not a Pulisic hater at all, far from it, I just think there were better options at that level of cash (and I am not happy about him staying until summer at BVD), but it is not a terrible signing, as long as we dont fuck up the rest of the next two windows.

Not going to shit on the deal or moan but I'm not over the moon either. So long as he isn't Hazard's replacement then I don't really see a downside to this transfer. At only 20 years old and with him being American, even if he is good but not great we'd make our money back. The whole loaning him back for the rest of the season is puzzling since as others have mentioned, he isn't a regular currently and we could use him now.

I think it's pretty clear that this was something in the works for a long while behind the scenes and that after spending such a big amount we won't be buying anyone else this month. Only outgoings like Cesc and maybe Moses & Cahill. Especially with Sarri saying (alarmingly) that we don't need a striker.

I'm fairly certain Sarri doesn't mean that, ofcourse he's not going to say we need one, imagine if we fail to sign one and Sarri has to go back and ask two players he has basically told the world are shit to deliver for him?

Tie down Hazard, play Pulisic RW and buy a top class forward and we are good to go.

Sorry if this maybe to positive for some.

I can totally live with that, but Eden seems hellbent on leaving atm. The striker needs to be Icardi or Dybala

Preferably Icardi, although many would take Dybala instead.

Oh that's quite true but am sure the club won't be replacing Hazard(if he leaves with Pulisic)...and atleast we gonna spend big on his replacement but the quality of the player might be the issue...

If Hazard fucks off we need to do everything we can to get Dembele from Barcelona and pair him with Pulisic.

Less than zero chance Barca will sell Dembele, unless some splashes £150m plus (not joking, they paid around £140m when add-ons are counted in) for him, and Messi said he is the future of the club.

I dont understand how peeps think of him as a LW replacement. He has been a predominant RW.

I know hes not going to give tons of As and Gs as i just mentioned to a mate but hes very good on the ball and fast as hell.

Hes very young so will only get better.

And with both Barca and Klopp really wanting him theres got to be something about him.

OK I might have gone a different way myself but hes a good player and the only downside I see so far is the loan back which is a sod.

 

He will be great on the break hyst as long as we get a striker and a ACM who CAN give us goals to go with him and Eden. (Who we still dont know WTF hes doing.) But Martinez came down again and says he doesn'y need to leave us.

The negativity around on social media about this is crazy.

Think it's mostly because everyone's worried his signing means Hazard is off. I'm going to guess 90% of the opposition fans making fun of this and calling him shit would have been creaming themselves if their club had signed him.

For instance, I'm seeing loads of fans from United, Arse, and Liverpool saying he's bad but they've all wanted him badly in the past.
