Well he does get about 10 G+A per season, so that certainly sounds like  Willian numbers to me 

He has never gotten over 5 goals in a year.

15 in 115 games for his whole senior career.

Link please for that 'Pep says never coming back'

Sorry he said does not expect but with the way Pep operates (rumour has it he blacklists players who reject him) thats as good as saying never.

IF Sancho keeps up his pace he is on for a year or too more, I would be shocked if Pep did not change his mind. Big if, but still.

15 to 20 goals a year and 20 assists per year has a way of changing minds, lol.

We shall see, I would love to have him if he keeps up that pace for next 2 years.

Lots a water to flow under the dam before this happens.

Thanks for the link, btw.

Sancho did the right move, he would be warming the bench at Shitty right now.

I will not hold it against CHO if he bails after Sarri refusing to play him.

Giant clubs are playing teenagers, its how they keep them.

Look at Real and Vinícius Júnior (also 18yo)

Not a shit tonne of games, but far more than CHO is getting

Moises Kean as a 17yo at Juve

Moussa Diaby as 19 yo at PSG

Hope so. We simply can't sell one of the 2-3 best players in the world and replace him with Pulisic.

You know, it's really not the end of the world if Hazard leaves...

Even if he doesn't leave for Madrid, he'll be gone one day. Are people still gonna be like 'WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO WITHOUT HAZARD?!' in 3-4 years time?

Noo... once Eden is gone, that's it. Chelsea should pack up and call it a day.

The point is to get fair value back and not massively regress after he leaves.

Great teams reload, they don't rebuild.

If this is the level of player we are going for, I would rather get Adama Traore. 

More talented, quicker, and he has at least been improving unlike Pulisic. His end product has been getting better, while Pulisic has been demoted to the bench.

Traore has ONE goal all year. If thatis  improving I would hate to see his before. He isn't even a regular starter on Wolves.

Pulisic has 4 as his most. 

Traore had 5 last year. 

Like I said, if this is the level we are going for, get Traore. World class dribbler and will beat players for days. People over complicate things. Live wires like him who can dribble and take on people can really open up their game on a better team. Look at Sane. No one rated him prior to him going to City. I remember people on here dreading the thought of him coming when he was linked with us. That turned out well.

Shitty have right of first refusal on Sancho, he will not come here, Shitty will buy him back.

Martial, now that Mourinho is gone, will not be leaving.

Best we can hoe for is that we do indeed have a clause in Thorgns contract, and can stop him from going to Dortmund or Bayern.

Mmm thats some xmas grinch news there , yeah i'd go for Hazard and hopefully sweeten the other Hazard.

 Former USA international Eddie Johnson confirms Pulisic to Chelsea

[lucio 5,418]

surely a january sale makes more sense for both clubs. We need to replace the terrible willian. They have a good shot at winning the league, so why not invest the money and strengthen instead of keeping a player they barely use, their scouts are so good they can find someone quickly. I'd understand if he wants to stay and get a bundeliga medal though

I rated Sane. Big. Wasn't here then. I go into great detail on players in other leagues I fancy, many of them very young.

I dont rate Traore. Sorry. If he is the level of player we are chasing I might as well be a Watford punter. 

[Vesper 30,173]

This buy is not so much about football I fear as it is marketing. I surely hope I have to eat my words.

Sane always had potential. You can tell he had a decent peg on him but needed direction. 

I'm not even going to entertain the idea of us buying Taore.... I have my limits.

Pulisic is a far better prospect than Traore.

Sane was highly rated before he went City. There was a lot of hype about him. He was tearing it apart at Schalke. I genuinely don't recall fans being against Sane. I knew City were getting a very good player and potential world class player. There was definitely a different perception to how people perceived Sane compared to the likes of Pulisic and Traore.

No he's a good buy. We are going back to the style we wanted to implement before Mourinho came back. When we bought Mata, kdb, Oscar, and hazard. 

Pulisic will be one of these type of players. We are going again for that flair technical players we wanted to have before we screw up with managers. 

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Was reported few weeks back in the Mail that we will sign Pulisic next summer and maybe announce it in Jan.

I expect a striker to come in  January window, but talk of 200m spend because we fear a transfer ban is utter nonsense
