Armchair Pundit Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 It's kind of annoying to me, while part of me sees ASM as one of what should be truly top class players that would be good to build around, I think you're spot on. It certainly seems that he's more tuned to being the sort of player who does better as a bigger fish in a small pond who's allowed to drift in and out of games under his own plan rather than working as a team player within a structured plan. It then comes down to whether he goes somewhere else with less of a plan, where he might do better and potentially look like we shouldn't have sold him... or we let him go and bring in players who have more of an ability to fit and evolve as part of a bigger team. Really difficult decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I think Gallagher > Pulisic >>>>>>> CHO is my preference. Close between the first two though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I’d definitely have Pulisic over Gallagher short-term but if it was a case of Pulisic staying for a season and Gallagher staying with an option to buy, I’d probably say Gallagher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I can't see anyone coming until the last few days of the window when clubs and agents get desperate, I feel we are in strong position and another week or so could save us a fair bit cash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro was featuring wide right in quite a lot of those video highlights. Also it seems Pulisic is a bit of a prick who'd prefer to go to Old Trafford.

toontownman Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 If we get Pedro for 25m then loan pulisic and buy Gallagher for the 35 rising to 40 they want. I'd be happy with CHO too but Pulisic is next level and less broken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment we need to level up to stature of a club that spends £40-60m on a marquee player. In the next 5 or so years though the sky will be the limit. We didn’t just find the £50m for Bruno down the back of the sofa did we? The chance was there to sign an immense player for what still is a reasonable fee given his talent and potential l - so we did. I think it’ll be the same for any other player Howe and the DoF deem “necessary”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 It was 30 rising to 40 for Bruno, the same with Botman. I suspect 40 is our ceiling for players for the time being and you can see why with some of the fees knocking around for worse players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
