Meh.
Christian Pulisic
- Thread starter holdsteady
- Start date
His end product is shite. An improvement on Elanga, granted, but is this where we’re at?
Wasn’t this answered when we tried signing Arnautovic while getting smashed by Brighton and Brentford?
He’s better than what we have but that bar is extremely low.
I like him, but best on counters, and we shouldnt loan an injury-prone player.
That’ll be the current Martial situation over again where we rely on someone not available.

We would know (LVG).
Anybody can see Chelsea's attack is their weaklink. How much of that falls on Tuchel and how much on the players who knows but like a good Chelsea fan he thinks it's all on the players.
Not that I’m aware of. I know players can play against their parent clubs in European competition if they are on loan to a club in a different country. Similar to Dalot when he played against us in the EL for AC Milan.
Pulisic has been kind of lost under Tuchel as he is much more effective playing as a wide forward in a front 3, either wing in 4-2-3-1 or as a supporting striker with a proper number 9. Tuchel likes to play his two supporting forwards much more narrow and he prefers players that are a little more AMs than Wingers in those positions. Just not a good fit for Pulisic. Think he needs a move and can do a good job if used in the right way. As a Spurs fan, actually hope it is not United.
CHO had a devastating Achilles injury and hasn’t been close to the same since. His form has nothing to do with our tactics.
Finishing all the chances we create is our problem, not attacking setup or Tuchel’s tactics. Players missing a hundred sitters (like we saw again last weekend) is our biggest issue.
A waste of time. Good player, at least potentially, but we need people available to compete for places every week. Create some competition and add quality.
Its perfectly obvious why we are in for him.
There was a report suggesting Liverpool have taken over United in terms of fans in USA.
The Glazers want to sign a American player to get more money.

You still haven’t named one attacking player that’s thrived under Tuchel though?!
Its a loan deal pal, players who are doing well don't become available like that.
We are run by fecking amateurs.
Rashford/Sancho MK 2
He's a marketing juggernaut in the States. For that reason alone the Glazers would love him.
I don’t know why that’s funny. He is right. We won’t be anywhere near the top 4 this year.Two games played
Do you need more than 2 games to tell you that we aren't challengers? Look at our transfer window. Barring a miracle, we have no chance at top 4. In our current state we'll be lucky for top half.Two games played
Why would Chelsea’s new American owner want to let him go?
Yes, and he's not better than anyone United have. A loan for depth may not be the worst, but what's really the point?
Because he's not actually that good, and their owner seems to care about results and challenging for titles (unlike ours)
We have a genuinely excellent and I think world class manager in EtH. But there’s only so much he can do. Our squad is a halfway house and has been a half way house for a few years now.Two games played
EtH should be given a free hit this year with this squad. He’s got 3 of his guys in this year that will probably stay the same till the end of the window. Hopefully we can bring in another 3-4 next summer after which I’d expect us to be challenging for top 4.
Isn't he a fecking Trumper? Sod that.
He is a step up over Elanga and any bench option for sure. I think he could push Rashford for his spot and if not, we actually have an attacker that can do something coming off the bench
He's better than Rashford to start with
Based on what, though? He's been shite for Chelsea. At least Rashford has proven he can do it in the PL.
Let’s try to loan Pulisic AND Ziyech which gives us plenty of depth out wide with Sancho and Rashford also around and with Garnacho it’d also allow us to use Rashford through the middle as back up to Martial and whatever striker is brought in to replace Ronaldo.
Nah. He'd be called Pulicziszc if he was Polish.
!If he was Polish he would called Pulawski. His name sounds more Serbian / Croatian to me.
What has Rashford proved? A few months of good counter attacking football under Ole?
If so, Pulisic had that good run of form with Chelsea as well so you can't say he has never done it in the premier league. He was a good player for Dortmund as well as the U.S national team. Not to mention Pulisic has 70 or so appearances for Chelsea. Rashford has 250 for Man United. I'm willing to give one player more time.
Why not go for the hat trick and see if they'll chuck us Lukaku as well, then we can have three failed Chelsea forwards instead of just the two.
You can't loan more than one player from same team. You want both at least one have to be permanant signing.
If he was Polish he would called Pulawski. His name sounds more Serbian / Croatian to me.
Yeah its a very balkan name, his grandad was Croatian.
I bet the original pronunciation of his name was pulisiCH
Are we going to vet the political opinions of every player we sign? just to make sure they like the same people 'we' do.
Having said that I don't think he is much of an upgrade on what we have and adds no physicality to a team that badly needs it. Can't really see the point of taking him.
Yes, he's a Croatian decent.

Just a wee joke that one.
