Pulisic whining about game time as soon as he's out of the door.

Does someone want to break it to him who is competition for LW is at Milan?

Someone should remind him he could've cost us the Champions League final as well when he showed upset Tuchel benched him against Madrid.

Without Pulisic we would not even play CL that season we won. He's the main reason for top4 with Giroud. Also played major part in both semis against Madrid. I'm grateful for his time here. 

And speaking of Milan he will start as RW easily.

My guess is that he isn’t going to play on the left for them. He’s probably competition for the #10 area. Because as you suggest, he ain’t starting over Leáo. And he wouldn’t hop from our bench to another club without being assured that he’ll be a key starter.

Maybe but he's even worse in any other position so my guess is he's dropped by Milan by Christmas.

I don't have any ill feelings towards him. Or Ziyech for that matter who I believe is unfairly criticised by some. 

It's only Mount really.

True, but they’ve been actively working on the Rice deal for weeks whilst also negotiating with us for Havertz and with Ajax for Timber. Our other business meanwhile feels like it’s being held up by this Caicedo deal and we can’t do anything else until it’s resolved. 

I dont think that anything is being held up by the Caicedo negotiations, I think Caicedo is the only definite target at the moment and that all other options and targets will get assessed after preseason, after Poch had a good look on the players. I dont expect us to sign anyone in the next 3-4 weeks except Caicedo. 

Lets not forget we already have made 3 signings for next season (Nkunku, Melo, Jackson)

Pulisic doesn't have the creativity and turns the ball over far too many times to be an effective CAM. 

[Mhsc 1,098]

Feels like Groundhog day for us tbh. Can't believe a whole extra week has gone by and we've still not sorted out Caicedo.

[Costa19 858]

Romano in year 2048…………….:

🚨 Talks between Chelsea and Brighton are moving in to final discussions. Small details about payment structures before ”Here we go” 🤝 . Caicedo only wants Chelsea and personal contract agreed since february 2023. ⏳📝
 

But seriously wtf is going on?

There's no way all of this time passing is because of "negotiations", such things would surely be a few meetings over a few days max. Surely either we or them are playing it slow because either they are waiting to sort a replacement, or waiting for more suitors to appear, or we are slow playing it because we are waiting to offload some more, or we're trying to give Poch time to look at Santos? I just don't understand how else it makes sense because there is no way these guys are sitting in a room 9-5 for 4 weeks haggling over a thousand ways to potentially organise payment structure over a deal.

I think in that league Pulisic will be more closer to how he plays for the USMNT. He really goes beast mode against CONCACAF teams. It is a slow pace, slower buildup, which allows him to use his acceleration. He is 24, he has a lot left in the tank. He plays the 10 spot for the national team most of the time but will also move to the wing and false nine depending on game adjustments.

Players like Pulisic and Ziyech would have their statues erected in many countries.
But premier pace is a different thing.
These days only three or four teams in the world stand a chance against premiership clubs - with the understandable exception of Spurs.
I hope we sign Caicedu and Neymar.

I want a Netflix movie about this whole saga.

JayZ needs to buy out his contract!

[Pizy 18,952]

Matt Law saying Auba will turn up to Cobham on Monday if his future doesn’t get resolved this weekend. Of all the footballers linked with Saudi this summer I would’ve thought Auba was the MOST likely to jump at the chance. He’s a super flashy dude, loves the celebrity lifestyle, drives a chromed out Ferrari amongst other cars. I would’ve thought that he’d be desperate for the chance at a cushy mega contract over there to end his career. 

He’s 34, ffs. I don’t know why he’s putting his foot down and refusing to go. No top European club is going to pay his wages.

Because he signed contract with the club I guess + owners kinda effed him over with the Tuchel thing. Apparently no offer firm enough for him to move.

if it was brighton playing it slow, caicedo would revolt already.

To be fair, Auba hanging around might not be the worst thing in the world.

Don't think he is the same level of dressing room poison that Lukaku is.
