It seems not only we are confused over his name. The lady in the beginning of the video says Pulisik, Howard later says Pulisič so not even Americans can agree on his name... I'm gonna call him Pulisič then

Why is it giving credit to Sarri? He literally admitted he knew jack shit about Pulisic joining

Yes, because it hasn't happened yet.

If he has more potential, then give him the platform to fulfill it and overtake Jorginho. This kind of competition would only be healthy. One question though, if he's apparently so good, wtf's he doing in Russia?

It would be quite underwhelming if we sold Morata and then bought Callum Wilson. Have we been seriously and reliably linked to any other striker?

Did you take into consideration contract lengths and Hazard lowering his value by openly sucking Real's dick?

Well I think it's pretty obvious that it's to influence him to stay. If he kept banging on about how unready he is and yada yada, he would go to lederhosen land in a snap. Possibly a tactic from CHO's camp to pressurize the club into playing him more... if they didn't, they would be happy to pick one of the alternatives in Germany. But I believe, or rather hope, that their main intention is to get the club to acknowledge his existence more. We really have no upper hand here, we gain nothing out of letting him rot in the youths and neither does he... we are not a slave trade market to treat our offspring this way. I also noticed how RLC got a sudden surge in playing time after there were numerous reports coming from his camp that he would leave in January if he didn't play more. Very quickly Sarri started fielding him more often, now he even starts some EPL games which was unthinkable in the first few months. Now rumours over his departure have disappeared. I hope it will be the same way with CHO.

Comments to try and influence him to stay.

He isn't mentally ill He's just not interested.

One day we bash him to the ground, the next we can't praise him enough. This thread has been this way since the beginning, and so have his performances been like his character.. quite colourful. I must say his distribution has been a joy to watch and recently his defending too. When he is playing like that he is top 3 most important player on the pitch, I hope he keeps it up till the end of the season.

Why are you linking a 2 year old video of some chaps discussing how well the wing-back position suited him in Conte's system? It couldn't be less irrelevant this day. Even Sarri eventually agreed he was shit.

We could just loan him back till the end of the season.

I guess Barella would be Fab's replacement, a bench rider for Jorginho. Or could he immediately displace somebody else in our midfield?

We were saying the same thing when we were getting relegated in 2015, nothing changed. We weren't fighting for anything other than pride, this time we are fighting for top 4 so I can understand not wanting to jeopardize EPL. I personally don't consider dropping Willian as risking, rather it would help our bid for top 4 if he got benched, but I can understand Sarri's thinking and that whole experience argument and stuff. Then why was Moses ahead of CHO when he cost peanuts and is shit? He got injured afaik and lost his place, but before he was getting game time ahead of Odoi.

Prime Fab was something else when we signed him in 2014. Best passer I've seen in Chelsea. The way he whipped those long floating balls over the top accurately... I've not seen anybody do it so effortlessly. It's a shame he's fallen off, that Fabregas would bench Jorginho. I've given him some stick for some of the shit he's done or said, but all in all it doesn't erase his contribution in the last 4 years, and I must say I never thought an Arsenal legend and Barca boy would become a fan favourite, including mine.

Well damn, shots fired It says a lot when our former youth coach says this.

It would improve teamwork. At the moment we're lacking cohesion.

Maybe it was partly because they had more training time? I also don't think it is the main reason, there isn't one, it's a mixture of everything... the most visible though are shit players.

Truth according to whom or what?

Can't agree with those parts at all.

People seem to forget our botched pre-season, the most important and most productive time to prepare the team for a new style. Started with Conte, Sarri arrived a few weeks later, key players were given extra holidays so they missed pre-season altogether and returned only after season had already started. Considering all this, the fact we have never had a longer period on the training ground with all the players available, then at the moment we are where we logically should be or even punching above our weight a little bit. Post of the year.

Maybe if he was shorter, he would reach places that tall goalies wouldn't

No, I never said that game was bus parking. Also Soton didn't, throughout the game they tried to attack, only in the last minutes they went full bus to keep the draw. With your second statement I disagree and I'll leave it at that. I think that not many will agree with you on this, we didn't become notorious for it for playing only 2 games like that. Even the final against Bayern in 2012 was a bus job, won the damn thing by some cosmic luck.

You say we never played that way, then proceed to bring two examples. You are either confused or haven't seen us play enough these past 15 years. We have parked the bus MUCH more than only those two times, heck the saying "park the bus" was coined after us. For example just look at last season against City, it was much much worse than what Soton was doing. You are making it sound like they played only defence and nothing else, I however remember quite a few instances being nervous when they got too close to our box and goal, I actually thought we would bottle the draw. So I really don't understand what you're talking about, I guess our subjective views and opinions are just very different.
