Are we even linked with this guy? Would love nothing more than an exciting, promising right winger as we have not have that since Nani, but there seems to be little evidence of any real interest from United.

Can't find it now but there was a link a good few months ago that we were interested but nothing more than a paper article, nothing concrete. Personally I think he'd be a good signing
 
Apparently our owners will not pass up a chance to buy him should he become available. If Chelsea make an offer we may match it or try and do a Keita type deal. I'm not ITK by the way just read this on an LFC forum (not RAWK)
 
A move to Chelsea would not be bad as it would allow us to see if he’s the real deal. He could come here in a few years as Chelsea like selling players to us. Of course that means they’re probably selling Willian if true.

We'd be better off buying him now since who knows where transfer fees will be in a few years.
 
An exciting young flair player should look elsewhere than United at the moment.

Wouldn't want to make Sanchez miserable by sharing a pitch with him.

We like to sell players who are not good for us. Jose didn't like Mata, he was fifth choice on wing so he left. Matic I remember very well was most criticized player from Chelsea fans in 16/17 season.
Conte didn't want Costa and Robben was average in PL. In 15 years under Roman Tibo is first important player who wants to leave and only for Real Madrid.
So if Pulisic becomes world class no way he can end up in Utd. But otherwise he might.

If Man City or PSG don't win the CL within 3 years, I predict the first half billion Euro player showing up.

What I'm saying is that it is a mistake to assume that because a player supports/supported a club, he will sign for him. Ramsey is one. Terry another. Luke Shaw supported Chelsea and chose us over them.

The fact that he’s a United fan would swing it if it ever came to it.

I don’t think this will matter nearly as much as we would like to think it would. Professional footballers will often put their sympathies aside and choose what is best for their career and Liverpool with their recent transfers and having been in the Champions League final last year could represent a better opportunity.

That’s a far fetched scenario.I doubt he would want to compete with either Salah and Mane for a start. He would have to be stupid to turn his boyhood team at the biggest club who have a wide open space for him in his Position.

This is all hypothetical of course as he is not moving and we have not bid.

Disagree with that totally

City spend massive but they don't spend massive on individuals. They haven't broken any records or anything. I'm not saying they don't spend huge amounts of money, I just don't see how they're any more likely to do what that poster is suggesting than clubs who have spent much more than them on single players.
 
Honestly it's like our fans have no clue who our manager is.

As if he's going to sign a 19 year old who is very very far off the finished article. Pulisic got just 5 goals last season. He's nowhere near the ready made player Jose is after.

Under Fergie he'd have been a player of interest to us. Jose won't be interested. He'd prefer Willian or Perisic obviously.

Yeah. I mean it’s not like he’s already done that exact same thing this summer is it?

I mean they're signing bench options for 50-60 millions now. Imagine if they'll need to replace one of their real stars?

He was truly great and he made the team very good by himself particularly in the last third, it was near impossible to not concede even though they had average players. Mbappé and Benzema had very good teammate and they weren't the heart of their teams, just two extremely talented additional pieces.

That's what I meant by "not dominant" a few weeks back.

Regarding Pulisic from the clips I've seen he doesn't a proper 9/10 talent. Dembele and Martial look to have more natural talent. However given our paucity of quality at RW I'd be happy with a big talent for that spot. I imagine Jose is looking for more experience though.

Yes, Joe Cole was playing there at the same time and some people at Chelsea got wind of how good Hazard really was. They snapped him up immediately. Paid about £33m for him which at the time was a large fee.

Hazard was know all over Europe when Chelsea signed him. He was a star from very young age and so many were aware how good he was. There was many threads on his in 2009/2010 too.

I agree, they are professional footballers not football fans. Also did Klopp or Tuchel sign Pulisic initially?

Yeah not like he’s just signed an unproven 19 year old right back this summer or anything.

If Pulisic was going for £20m or even £30m he might sign him, but 60m plus for a 19 year old, he better be Ronaldo/Hazard/Neymar level player in 3 or 4 years, l don't see it.
Pulisic is good player but not 60m good yet.
 
If the manager and his staff think he might be worth the punt over 2-3 years then id be glad to see him here and it would be a situation where id be happy to see the right side chop and change a little for one more season. Hes clearly talented so 20-30 games in his first season to see where hes at without crazy expectation, balanced with lingard and mata might be worth it

Somebody beat me to it. Dalot isnt for now now,hence his price. Pulisic would cost upwards of 65m. He needs a lot of work. Jose won't go near him and for that fee he'd have to start for us.

When you get quoted £45m or so for Arnautovic I don’t think you should be expecting to sign a good player for £20m or £30m.

Yes , but we don't have unlimited financial backing and a political PR project that would make our owners throw that much money at anything that isn't a stadium.
 
Watching him play he looks very similar to Navas. Average dribbler not much end product.
 
Expect us to sign him for 30/40 million next year although I don't think he's that good. He doesn't give me that feel that I'm watching a special talent.

Commercially, I think he could be huge for us,but me personally would wait to see how Chong does this year before we buy Pulisic, because for me Chong brings in everything we lack on the right side and IMO could end up being a better player as he seems to have a higher ceiling with the right attitude. Also it's always good to see one of our own succeed

You mean apart from the £700m they've spent on transfers in the last five seasons?

Yeah it'll be interesting to see how they deal with replacing Aguero and Silva for sure.

I think you're being deliberately obtuse. I replied to a question on spending on a single player. I know they haven't done it, yet. But I think their "world domination" project requires them to win a CL as soon as possible. Right now all their chips are on Guardiola and his deep squad, but if he cannot deliver and asks for Mbappe as the missing piece, then yes, I do see them obliterating the transfer record. And they have a means of doing that other clubs lack.

Buying Pulisic not going to block Chong's elevation into first team, two players vying for one spot as we don't have any atm for the RW.

How am I? All I'm saying is facts. We've spent a lot of money and we were the ones who broke the world record fee on a player, not City. I agree they have bigger resources, of course they do. I just don't think there has been anything from their side so far to suggest they're any more likely to break the record than clubs who have already spent far more on single players like us and Barca. No doubt it's possible that they will at some point but I don't think they're remotely as likely to as PSG who don't seem to particularly give a toss about transfer fees for players.
