Dortmund make off like bandits in this deal. I guess I understand paying for potential but that price is way too much considering his limited production the past two years. Also, bad move for him too because Chelsea isn't exactly a club known for having patience with young players.
Marketing, if he flops at least they’ll make their money on shirt sales. Americans spend a pretty penny on jerseys.
He might work out for them. The guy isn’t bad. The price is ridiculous but this is a ridiculous market lately.... unless you’re Mexican. If you’re Mexican everyone wants you on a free transfer.
@herculezg: El fútbol Mexicano sigue por adelante del EEUU.. pero no por mucho, y no por tanto tiempo más. Dejemos por un lado si Pulisic vale más que otro Mexicano... ¡Es uno de (más de) 100 jugadores Estadounidenses jugando en el extranjero! Mexico tiene MENOS de 20...
Idk about all 100, but they have a leg up at more young players at decent clubs Doesn’t mean they pan out, but if you throw enough darts, you’re bound to bullseye
Yeah but they've got a shit league. We've got a decent league in Mexico, just need to debut and play more up-and-coming players ala Lainez, Ruiz, Vega, etc...
Chelsea only has to make two or three US tours, make a new sponsorship deal with a couple of american companies and sell him to MLS for like 20m in 4 years and they will have made a profit out of him, American stupidity and hypernationalism is a gold mine, just ask their president.
