🇺🇸 Christian Pulisic

[Special Juan 28,141]

I'm more worried about Kovacic who offers fuck all yet Pulisic hasn't kicked a ball yet.

Tbf for a 20 year old, there hardly bad stats. Being involved in 44 goals in 126 games is really not that bad, basically one goal or assist every 3 games and for a young player who isnt even 23 or upwards yet (young players all have inconsistencies and we are getting him at an age now where he should really be looking to knuckle down and add more consistency and end product to his game), I think hes got a huge chance to really improve here. Look at Ruben and Callum under Sarri, as younger players they have improved facets of their game under him and theres no reason why Pulisic cant do the same. Do feel he will have to start fast here though to impress some people who obviously werent sure if he was worth the cash but If those stats were Callums for instance from 4 seasons of his career it would be a different story....

Tell that to Vesper.

I think some folks on this forum forget that pulisic is only 20 there's still room for him to get better  10 goals in international level is not bad for 20 year old

He's playing in CONCACAF

Wonder how much pressure Sarri will be under to throw him straight into the XI considering how much we payed for him. To pay £60m or whatever it was for a bench rider would be madness.

Guess a lot depends on Willian. Pedro seems okay with being a squad player but Willian doesn't seem so keen. Especially since he knows he could move to another big club.

Don't think he will be.

If we signed a finished product than that would be a different story but this is an investment for the next ten years.

The level of competition/quality may not be high in the CONCACAF but goals are goals, I guess. If he isn't scoring against those lots, you would probably be picking him up for not doing so against poor teams.

If you haven't noticed, Willian has been on the bench a lot recently. 

Surprised @Tomo didn't reply to that.

I'm just saying that stat is of little relevance. He was one of those blamed for their WC qualification failure, so that could be brought up too. Only worried about his club performances considering the standard.

Pleased to see him seemingly end the season in some form.

Yeah, I know. And he seems grumpy every time he's subbed out as well. Wonder if he's fine with this same bench role again next season.

It's about time we let him go anyway...

A season to late we should have took that £50m last summer ffs

Barca STILL wants him, just at a shed load less (around £35-40m) than the £65m  that was their final offer last summer

we are stuck with him due to the bans and injuries (with Eden out and Puli in, that still leaves only Willian and Pedro as our only 3 healthy wingers)

[Jase 43,479]

 

[Special Juan 28,141]

Really looking forward to seeing him next season.

[Pizy 18,903]

We need to go for all out pace and athleticism like Liverpool have done when we sell Eden. Pulisic, CHO, and then finally buy the player I've wanted for a couple of years now- Wilf Zaha. Just blitz and overwhelm everyone with relentless energy.

Even though he is so far just a pace merchant with reasonable footballing ability he already has a life-long reputation of professionalism and dedication in all of the footballing world. I do not think he has the out of this world talent like Hazard but he has the right work ethics and age to become a very good player.

You're right, Pulisic isn't as talented as Hazard and not many are. Not taking shots at you but would be helpful if people stop trying to compare Pulisic with Hazard or think Pulisic is the replacement for Hazard. Unfair on him. Let Pulisic grow and contribute in his own way.
