Christian Pulisic

We don’t consume American media here, pal. Shit Pulisic was still deemed a better player by Chelsea’s last two managers. I’m sure they must have also been basing it on the American media hype about how good he was.

One got sacked while the other looks increasingly out of his depth.

Fact remains that we need someone who can play on the right wing if Antony gets tired or injured. Pulisic is in no position to help us in solving that problem and I totally disregard Elanga as an option.

The one that got sacked, you mean the one that won the UCL with that team? He must have known nothing.

Fam, Ziyech has spent an even bigger part of his career playing as an AM than Pulisic. For every game he has played as a RW, he played twice more as an AMC. Pulisic’s most played position is RW. You can say you don’t like Pulisic or whatever and you prefer Ziyech, that’s cool. Opinions after all, we can all agree to disagree even if all Chelsea managers that managed both disagree with you... but whatever. However there is no rationale on god’s green earth that says Pulisic can’t help as RW, but Ziyech can.
 
I really don't want this MAGA idiot, even if it's for half a season. He's a nothing player anyway.
 
Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho, Antony, Elanga…

Do we really need a 6th winger?

Pellestri as well.

Obviously Amad on loan too.

It's a nothing story because he had a decent game against England. The journalists don't even try hard when it comes to us.
 
I’ve never been impressed whenever I’ve watched him. That said, the same can be said for Elanga.
 
Ziyech is willing to lower his wage to get picked up by another club. He barely plays, even clean up minutes. I have seen the 34M pounds figure for Pulisic from several media sources. Neither one of them have been productive and neither one of them helps the output of other players. Pulisic is a least a threat to get fouled a lot. Ziyech is incredibly slow. Opposing players would need to wait for him to get downfield to foul him.

He needs a pandemic to play well. Literally his one and only good spell was when the stadiums were closed. Literally got injured and sulked despite being shit every other time he is given a chance.

To go from a player like hazard to these scrubs, must be frustrating for Chelsea fans.
Whoever called him the lebron of soccer needs to be tried in The Hague.
 
I have zero problems letting this man go to United, if you lot want him.
 
Won't be a popular opinion as a US fan but I'm not a fan of Pulisic. He's not strong enough on the ball and whines too much. So many other players I would prefer to him.

Also if there were a player I'd go after on the US team it would be Adams. Who is fantastic. Or Dest, who is extremely underrated but is too good of quality to sign as depth.

Harsh opinion but I don't think anyone in the US team is good enough for us. Adams included.

I don't want Pulisic mostly because he comes across as a bit of a twat.

He’s not our most talented player, that’s Reyna. He’s not our best or most important player, that’s Adams.

However, he is still the US teams talisman. He was there in 2018 and cared more, at 19, then any of those old fecks who let us down. He scored the only goal and was the only one worthy of collapsing in despair after the final whistle. I would still take the entire MMA, Reyna, and Weah over him at Utd but Adams is the only other “never drop” guy for the US team
 
There's nothing wrong with saying Adam's would be a better fit here at united, obvious that central mid spot is more of importance. But to try and diminish what he's done for usmnt for a long time now at such a young age would be fecking stupid.
 
No no. A versatile LW and attacking player. You shall go to the shop that is selling Gapko. My best recommendation. If you want a LW and versatile attacking player = Gapko >>> Pulisic
 
Love this move for him. Italy is the perfect spot for him and he needs a team that will believe in him.

Leão and Pulisic for Milan looks very fun, now they just need to get a goal scorer because all they have is giroud and he’s past his time.
 
He has to be the only player who played in either of the Champions League finals we won that I actively dislike. Good riddance.

Out of anyone you could have possibly mentioned you use Dave? You good?

Maybe it's just his constant resting bitch face that always bugged me....and he could whine on the field with best of them. I do respect his career for sure.

Just joking around. Pulisic has been a Chelsea flop for sure. Getting out the Prem a good idea.

The difference is Dave's whining is exclusively directed at the refs to give his team an edge. Pulisic's is directed at his team/manager/club for the benefit of himself. Constantly storming off after matches in a huff because he started on the bench. You're on the bench because you're fecking shite mate.
 
I always thought Pulisic would end up at United with Woodward in charge and the US connection given the sponsors etc (Chevrolet). The damning aspect about his time at Chelsea is from what I hear their fans seldom critique his actual footballing ability but more his mentality and injury record. Maybe he could have shades of the Mo-Salah / Robben trajectory and shine at another club elsewhere.
 
Chelsea did a real good job by selling their players with good prices in the space of one week. Its unbelievable job. 25 months ago Chelsea won the UCL. 27 months after that, only 4 players in the 23 man squad that day will even be on the roster (Kepa, Chillwell, James, and Thiago Silva). Crazy how much has changed in such a short period of time.

I agree, he played well in two games for us .. that's it. just never tried, never showed any passion and was constantly whinging

He’s decently talented. Easily good enough to play at a top club. But yes, he is made of glass. He is totally unreliable. To get £20M after 4 years of injuries and inconsistencies is pretty decent. Good luck to him in Milan.
 
He and RLC in nearly identical situations. Both have all the talent to succeed at a big club but both have been constantly injured for years and now both going to Milan.

If they can stay fit I think they’ll do very well there. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Pulisic back at a big PL club in a couple of years since he’s still so young.
 
He has bags of talent but injuries and doesn't influence games enough. One of those players that's great aesthetically with ball at feet but does it truly amount to much?

Hopefully he can find some consistent ability to play football because it must be incredibly frustrating for him.

Pulisic will be 25 in two months though. Not exactly what I'd call 'so young'.

But other than that I agree he's got enough talent to make it in the Serie A if he can just keep himself fit. Would probably need to hit double digits in both goals and assists a couple years in a row for the big PL clubs to come calling back for him and I just don't see that happening. He's got what it takes to be a good player for Milan but I doubt he'll ever be good enough for the PL big boys.

Balogun, Reyna, Dest, Adams, McKennie could function in mid-table sides, and maybe Balogun is the only one ready right now. I'd play Pulisic over Sancho if we had him.
