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. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Murphy has 16 appearances for us this season. Pulisic clearly has a higher ceiling than Almiron too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 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.

LFEE Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Well if it’s a credible link for Pulisic it might be on the back burner again as it looks like Broja has just done his ACL so might need him for cover even if slightly different players.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Pulisic would fit very well for a high press. I imagine tapping in to the US market would be quite beneficial too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Pulisic’s way too injury prone and gives off a huge feeling of carrying on like Michael Owen when it comes to playing club games over playing for QSA. Not to mention his entourage are bad news and enjoy attacking his teammates and coaches if he’s not getting minutes. For the likely huge amount price and wages wise he’d cost and whilst he’d be decent I think we could be wiser. He does need to get out of Chelsea though, was always going to be a poor move.

A CM to help push Bruno forward in time and a winger to add to our relatively poor numbers in that position aye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 PIF and the rest of the owners must be thinking of this sort of thing to get around FFP in the future surely.
