Christian Pulisic

It will be interesting to see if Genoa really does offer 45M pounds in January, If Chelsea sells.

I doubt we'll sell anyone in the middle of the season.

Genoa 45m pounds? Are you serious? 

Their record transfer is 19.5m euros. And they are too small for Pulisic anyway. If he leaves it will be Bayern or something similar.

That seems to be the number being thrown around.

zero chance a relegation zone smaller club in Serie A will drop £45m on Pulisic

he needs to stay healthy and start scoring FFS

he and Ziyech are killing me

(and I was against buying both, so no shock from me)

I swear, everytime there is a new post in this thread during the international break, I expect some new injury news 😄

I am watching tonight. I will post if he comes off the pitch head held high or limping! Odds are limping.

That header from Puli was sick!!!

[ZAPHOD2319 4,803]

Played 20 minutes scored the winning goal. Came off the pitch healthy.

Watching this and other Chelsea boards makes thin a move in January would be good for all concerned. No one at Chelsea (manager, fans) rates him at his market value — well, some of his teammates do, but …. Chelsea fans seem unanimous that he will be perpetually injured, he should just be s super sub, and blah blah blah. So if he can’t stay healthy in the PL, why not deal him in January, maybe to a league where hacking the technical players is penalized more heavily?  Win-win, right?

No way he will be satisfied long term as the 4th or 5th winger, so given all the talent in the Chelsea system, selling him to a club that values him more highly will happen eventually. Why not in January. CHO looks good, Mount is a mainstay, Ziyech is in form, Havertz gets a lot of winger minutes, and for some reason TT likes Werner. Fans are talking constantly about acquiring additional attackers. Seems a no brainer.

Yes, I am certain that he will flourish elsewhere, but most of you are not. He’s made of glass, right? So why not get some value for him now before he’s permanently broken?

No way he will be sold anytime soon. He is free lunch. a squad player that basically pays his wages in marketing revenues earned and expanding our US market share long term. Priceless commercial asset. Him not complaining about lack of minutes due to being out of contention for 50% of games he can hardly complain about lack of game time.

Well, next summer is crunch time. He would have only two years left on his contract. So, either we'll extend the contract or we'll look to sell him.

Is there any proof that he's actually bringing us profit in terms of marketing revenues? IIRC, he sells a lot of shirts in the US (or that might have been the USMNT one) but not sure that amounts to much and apart from that, I also don't see us acquiring a flow of US based sponsors etc or trying to advertise him everywhere in the US. Moreover, if he's getting injured more often than not, would he even attract sponsors?

Yeah but if he's fit, like in the second half of last season, he'll complain about the lack of game time, again like he did towards the end of last season.
