Always loved TMNT… turtle power! 

 

 

 

I'm so glad it's not just me who thinks it's funny/odd why American media often writes it like that. Bless them.

Made himself look a right plonker.

The irony of course is that the reason that we need to be taken over by a sovereign wealth fund in order to compete with ‘his’ club is because there’s millions of Brians around the world who’ve decided to support Arsenal because they saw them on telly once and they were good - pouring more money into their kitty and compounding the gulf in English football

 

You don’t get your fucking moral high horse on this one Brian

I think Pulisic would be fantastic under Howe but not sure re wage demands etc. Hasnt he also had a patchy injury record?

I really don’t think he’s one to have his wages stand in the way of his footballing ambitions and playing regularly for a team that will value his contributions. He’d be a perfect winger on both sides for Howe, imo. He’s built to press, play quick 1 touch football and find space in channels. 

[Dokko]

Pulisic would be a good move for all parties. Not been his biggest fan, but impressed in the WC where he was an important player. He's never going to be that at Chelsea.

[Shak]

Aye, could see Howe turning Pulisic into an absolute force. Our system and style of play should really suit what he does best.

[Klaus]

If Howe wants him, that's good enough for me

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Pulisic would be a great signing, hope it happens.

[Emotic]

Pulisic, Ashby, Perrone in - Fraser, Manquillo, maybe Ritchie out. That would be a great January window. Pulisic would work very well with Isak, in my view.

[Bellars]

Pulisic would provide good depth and another option, but I am not sure he would be first on my list.

 

He does have a patchy injury record; he seems to be a bit frail

[Pilko]

I really wanted Pulisic, but knowing that Brian the Septic on Twitter would be done with him if we got him, I'd rather we called the whole thing off.

[Mountain]

Hmm

[Miggys First Goal]

If I had a sick record like that at work I'd be sacked.

[RodneyCisse]

Feels like we’ve moved passed the calibre of Pulisic but as a replacement for Fraser I’d be more than happy.

[The Butcher]

Can play in a few positions where we lack a bit of quality.

Good age and has a point to prove.

 

Not the best injury record mind.

[nemtizz]

Will be a decent option off the bench.

Darlow will go too.

He’ll probably link up well with ASM in the treatment room.

Is Pulisic that good, I haven't seen enough of him to be sure. I was leaning towards going back in for Pedro instead, who I've seen even less of ?

What's the preference 

[midds]

Not seen too much of Pulisic tbh so not best placed to make any type of judgement on him but I don't recall seeing take a single game by the scruff of the neck and drag his team through it. Maybe he's not that type of player or I've missed the times he has done it but I'm far from convinced and if he's going to cost a few bob then I think I'd prefer to look elsewhere. 

 

That said if Howe wants him and we end up getting him then he'll get my full support obviously. I trust the manager and trust the scouts and recruitment team to choose their targets carefully. 

[Cronky]

Pulisic would be a good signing - we don't have anyone quite like him. I imagine he'd be well motivated, in that he apparently feels a bit ill-used by Chelsea and has something to prove. I thought he put a lot into his performances at the World Cup too. 

 

Having said that, why would Chelsea want to sell him to a club which - incredibly - is now a rival for a CL place. Besides, they don't seem to be short of money.

He's done it a few times for Chelsea, particularly in the period with no fans in the stadiums. 

 

I don't think he is exactly that player, though. He's much better being involved in quick, short build up play or crashing the box and becoming a second forward.

 

I've seen him enough to know he would be a good signing for us. Hasn't really lived up to his talent at Chelsea, but if he stays healthy and gets to work with Howe I think he'll finally get there.

Jacob Murphy has 16 appearances for us this season. Pulisic clearly has a higher ceiling than Almiron too.  

[TheBrownBottle]

Pulisic is a good footballer - his injury record is nightmarish though so unless there’s some hope of improving it you’d think we’d avoid. 
 

As a player he’s clearly a step up from the likes of Murphy and Fraser.  That’s why the rebuild is fun - most of our signings are almost guaranteed to succeed given who they’re replacing.
