    The Germans are the bigger and later investment. The owner wrote some really big checks at the request of Lampard and Marina. Therefore they are Marina's–and therefore Tuchel's–biggest priorities.

    Obviously, Marina would like all 3 to be successful, but there is such thing as hierarchal needs here.

    I'm assuming your 100M valuation is knowing that he would have a release clause of some 70 odd M at the end of next year? Is that correct? If so, I would think that BVB wouldn't allow him to leave for less than a record sum. The kid scores goals for fun against everyone. Who doesn't want him in their team at this point? Maybe Man City, unless ol' Pep changes his love affair with small, agile, technical players.

    Agreed, but will Man U want to break the bank this summer if they already have Rashford who for some reason is being compared by Dwight Yorke to Mbappe?

    It's going to be City, United already have Martial & Rashford. Or maybe Liverpool could swoop on that release clause next summer, if he doesn't move earlier.

    Incredibly easy to vaguely assert in general, without actually taking on any specific points. Talk about the points being raised, specifically; I don't understand the point of just talking around people, ignoring the substance of an argument.

    25' - Sargent draws dangerous free kick as Hinteregger tackles where the ball used to be. Leads to an even closer free kick.

    Haaland will be at Madrid this summer, perfect guy to replace Benzema.

    Haaland is the perfect guy to replace any 9. I mean, Lewandowski is 32.

    A dip in form in one of the starters and Puli is back in the picture.

    Benzema is 34.

    Munich can't pay the fee for Haaland.

    If you're going to break the bank for one player, though, Haaland is it

    Yes, I'm aware Haaland has a 70m release clause if he moves next summer which means BVB will surely ask for more if he moves early.

    If Haaland moves to Chelsea this summer, I can see them moving CP who has more value than Ziyech right now...There's report stating that Chelsea has told Tuchel that he need to sell a few players if he wants Haaland this year.

    Maybe not playing CP much could be a cautionary measure by Chelsea to keep him from getting injured so to not lose too much value so they could sell him.

    CP is old news.

    The NEW toys are Timo, Kai, and Ziyech.

    I'd like to see Tommy 2Kell play a false 9 in this.

    -------Pulisic------------Werner----------Zitech--------
    ------Mount--------------Kante-----------Kova---------
    -----Chill--------Chris-------Rudy---------James

    ManU like to counter. If you fill the middle of the park and play actual soccer players instead of athletes you can see some good touch play, congest the midfield with attacking possession. No Panties Abrhama because he doesn't know how to play soccer and Jayroo is not pacey. Same with Jorginho. Too slow. Put Chillwell on Greenwood, Ruddy on Martial, Kante on Fernadino, James on Rashford. Werner and Puli are far too quick for ManU central midfield and central defenders. Doubt 2Kell has the sack to run it though. Hamwich for president.

    Your comment implies that someone here is giving up. I’m not sure that’s what anyone is saying. If you are among the best players in the EPL last season and your team buys a big star at exactly your position in the off-season, what is the correct interpretation. If it was me, I’m thinking this club is F’ed up.

    That's life at the top, isn't it? They're always bringing in the next toy at the massive clubs, esp when you play a high profile attacking position and really esp when you haven't performed at a level that says "best in the world."

    Again I could point out that Zola, Drogba, Ballack etc etc etc had no problems at this hugely successful 'un-stable'! club? If you don't think Pulisic can cut it at this level then perhaps he should go somewhere else where there is no competition for places, some mid-table French side perhaps? Personally I think that if he wants to fulfill his potential then playing with one of the top clubs in the world's hardest league, fighting for places against other top players might just be a good place for him to fully 'flower' no?

    It didn't mention MOST of the squad! Don't forget to you guys Pulisic is some kind of new age Maradona whereas in England he is a young player with potential among other young players with potential. Don't worry though because the far more reasonable 'level headed' approach he lives with 'over here' will be a MUCH better environment for his development, he will play.
