If you're paying £54m for a player, I'd expect them to hit more than 11 goals in a season. 

Players can get past injury issues when their young, well managed & have the right fitness routine in place. Also, keep in mind that he did play 34 games for Barcelona last season, not 5.

Pulisic played 43 games last season and people still call him injury prone.

It's a narrative people seem to run with based on his past. Not sure why.

Because he has an injury record worse than Robben, who was labeled injury prone...

Robben - 3 seasons. 19 Games missed, 110 days injured. 

Pulisic - 2.5 seasons. 45 games missed, 335 days injured.

I'm not disputing that, but that's in the past, as I stated. He's been available for most games in the last season & a half.

Right but until this bloke can go a full season without 3 or 4 injuries that are a direct result of muscular imbalances vs direct contact, he'll always have that label.

We haven’t even actually been linked with Dembele by a reliable outlet anyways so all this talk is pointless. He’ll go to whoever present Barca with the highest offer and I can’t see that being us. He’s more likely to go to someone like Newcastle or a club like that who want to make a splash. They need to show prospective targets that they can attract big names. West Ham would be another.

We should wait until the summer and target Raphinha from Leeds if we want a new wide attacker.

Sevilla will allow Carlos to leave'

Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol on the Transfer Show:

"The latest we are getting on Diego Carlos is that Sevilla want to keep him for their game this weekend [against Celta Vigo] but after that game, the expectation is that Sevilla will do a deal and then it's up to the player where he wants to go.

"They have had an offer from Newcastle and they have been in the driving seat for the past couple of days, but there is also another Premier League club from London who have made an offer of around £30m for him.

"It's then up to Carlos where he wants to go. If you try to work out who this club in London is, my information is that it's not West Ham. 

"David Ornstein at The Athletic says it's not Arsenal, so that really leaves Chelsea and Tottenham.  I'm not in a position to say which club it is, but I know that Spurs have a long interest in the player."

I haven't looked into in-depth, just going off what @Jase has reiterated in multiple threads.

Maybe I'm wrong to do so. 😅

I was merely reiterating what people keep on saying about him. 

What I'd say is, if you look at Pulisic's overall career so far, then yes, you could say he is injury prone. But over the last 12-13 months, he has had only ONE notable long term injury and it wasn't due to his body breaking down like often before. Is he somehow becoming less injury prone all of a sudden? God knows.

The injury he had this season was because he tried to dive between two CBs in a WC qualifier and twisted his knee and ankle. He then did not want to come off the field when the physios wanted him to come off after being checked and ended up going down when his ankle gave way. He came back to Chelsea in crutches.

My best guess is Spuds. Conte likes Carlos.
