this deal looked very plausible from the beginning. lets see how it works out.

HIs end product is shit and i cant stand that but he still has time to work on his decision making and composure. He has one trait however that I really like and that is his directness when running at players. instad of turning and passin gbakcwards when having beat a player (Willian specialist of squandering those) he knocks the ball into space and goes full sprint.

 

Dortmund reportedly gonna reinvest the Pulisic funds to buy Thorgan Hazard , which makes sense weakening their direct competition. Also Thorgan is in the form of his life. I wonder whether going for him instead of Pulsiic would tempt the more talented older brother to stay. Especially if we continue playing false 9, we can easily afford playing both...

We have right of first refusal on Thorgan, no? Keep seeing conflicting info.

some say we even have a buy back clause.

However, not even Thorgan imself knows^^

but from the sound of it, he would not say no if we were to bid for him.

Not saying Pulisic is bad or doesn't have the potential to become a top player, but I'd be so disappointed if we were to buy him while the likes of Fekir and Isco move to our rivals. Both are far superior to Pulisic right now and I don't think they'd be risks at all.

But neither will be in the RW position will they?

Can;t see no reason why we couldn't even buy all 3!! Scuze me while I stop laughing!.

We get a Isco/Eden swap, Fekir as AM and Pulisic,

Or Eden stays. One less problem to sort - Just as long as he doesn't go to another English team.

Pulisic over Isco anytime. Don't know Fekir that well.

Have never been a fan of his, hope he can step it up, if he comes.

Pulisic is being pitched as a Hazard replacement on some sites.

Ridiculous.

He has never scored more than 5 goals in a full season, including two two full 40 games plus years on a massive scoring team that runs a pinball offence. 115 games, 15 goals in his career and he is not even a LW'er (although he should be as he is right-footed.).

Willian on the LW, Pulisic on the right spells doom to me, when all is taken into account. That is what we are facing if Eden leaves. Real isnt going to swap us Asensio and Kovacic for a player with 12 months left on his contract. That is folly.

Higuain may (AC Milan officially said we have not contacted tem at all) come for a 6 month loan, but he will turn 32yo in middle of next season, so he will not be offered a multi-year contract. He will not be here 2019-20 unless he accepts a one term contract, or we take him on a multi-year loan, which I doubt he accepts (in terms of 1 year contract) or Juve accept a multi-year loan (which I doubt they will accept as well).

Who does that leave for our striker to pair with Willian and Pulisic? Callum Wilson? LOLOL Unless it is an Icardi level type number nine (and how many of those are floating around???), where are the goals going to come from? Manure is hot on the tails of Isco, so if they drop big cash for him, there goes another swap option with Real.

That leaves only 4 true goal scoring AMF's left, 1. Rolling dice on Nabil Fekir and his knees, 2. Pablo Sarabia of Sevilla (a good choice but I see ZERO linkage with us), 3. Julian Draxler of PSG (who isnt really THAT proflic, but is a decent player) and 4. Hakim Ziyech (Ajax) who is prolific in a lower league, but far from certain in the EPL.

We are linked with none of those, other than Fekir, so we damn well better snag him (if we refuse the others) and hope he comes good in the EPL and stays healthy.

We can talk all we want about Sarriball being this offensive machine, but if we lose Eden, end up with only Pulisic as 'replacement', buy a middling striker like Wilson, and miss out on a WC AMF, the goals are simply not going to be there. It is shaping up as a huge (and predicted) problem.

Pulisic is a placed as Hazard replacement because it makes easy writing for the rags.

Problem with Fekir is he's more suited to a number 10 role, we don't, and we won't be, playing that system anytime soon.

I really like Pulisic, very good player.

If he's being viewed by the club as the long term replacement for Willian and Pedro I'm fine with that. He's not better than either of those two now but has the potential to be. 

If he's being viewed as a Hazard replacement then I think we're in trouble next season and beyond.

Really think we need to get the possy right , looking at Pedro+Willian age also , Sancho,T.Hazard,Martial , hope come into serious consideration

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.
