Christian Pulisic at AC Milan

Nothing. But he's misperforming for Chelsea, it'd be far more difficult at Munich. Also, I'd figure he might not wanna betray his Dortmund background.

 

All transitions are a bit chaotic, and this one especially so, Wish the media didn't go into full hyper ventilation at the first hint of adversity. Going to be a very different story a month from now.

Pulisic is healthy for tomorrow. My random guess is he'll start, but pretty confident he'll play either as a starter or a sub

 

I do wish that Twitter account would do some basic quality control for the rumors it passes along.

While the rumor itself doesn't sound entirely implausible, I can't find any evidence online that the source they've quoted is remotely reliable or well known.

 

Gotta take that account with a grain of salt. Lots of unsubstantiated rumors and what I call the "wall of positive noise" no matter the situation.

 

I just wish he would get angry and set out to prove himself and put together another performance like he did a year and a half ago against Burnley.

 

This Bayern rumor is just that, pure rumor.

Do you imagine Bayern paying $72M for a player that is often injured?

I am sure there are other younger promising wingers that Bayern can get for less. CHO?

 

CHO isn't in the same level is talent as Pulisic. I'm not even sure it's all that close.

You know why Chelsea isn't going to move on past Puli until he's completely broken? Because in terms of pure talent, combined with physical ability, there's only a handful of attacking mids out there you'd rather have given his age. Literally the only thing holding Christian back are some injury issues, which hopefully he'll get resolved soon, and which are probably a function of being overplayed in the return, and a really bad hamstring injury.

 

This is what an angry Pulisic did to Liverpool, after being kept on the bench.

 

Depends on who you ask.

For the record, I do agree with you. Its been known that BM had been admiring CHO for quite some times. If the rumor was CHO and BM, that might be a bit more believable.

 

I was thinking the same thing. I can't locate it either. You may be on to something. Perhaps, this is the root of his leg injuries?

 

Unless you're an English fanboy, CHO has never shown the top-end ability that CP has. Now? Sure, CHO has been playing better than CP...but if they are both in form? No way.

 

This is the same club that let KDB go.

 

You should see a doctor immediately

 

Damn.
He was so much better as number 22

 

That was more Mourinho and tbf to Chelsea, Kdb wanted to start or play every game and at that point he was young and Chelsea had quite a bit of talent.

 

Was that the Club or Mourinho?

Because under Mo they've let go:

Daniel Sturridge
KDB
Lukaku
Mata
Thorgan Hazard
Nathan Ake
Mo Salah
Juan Cuardado

 

A transfer that large would not really be in Bayern's normal mode of operations.

 

That was more due to an interpersonal conflict between him and Courtois over KdB's girlfriend.

 

And salah

 

Some Spanish rag is now suggesting that CP is going to be moving to Bayern for 73M. What a bloody joke.

He has hardly played lately. Is that misperforming?

 

Why a joke? Coaches have their preferences, players move all the time.

 

Bayern is financially much smarter than all that. Why pay Chelsea the same money they paid for him two years ago when it is in no way clear that he is a better player. He certainly is more oft injured, which in my book would suggest a bit of a rebate on the player.

 

It's much too soon for Pulisic to transfer - think of the blow to my ego.

 

He had that run less than a year ago where he looked player of the year material.
