Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

£58M for Pulisic in today's market is an absolute steal.

The marketing potential to US audiences must be worth that alone over a few years.

Hazard to RM in the summer then maybe.......

Or they are just backing their manager

I doubt any marketing value will come near the fee they have paid

Great signing. Annoying they're loaning him back to Dortmund too.

You're joking, right? Last year he was named in the top 20 most marketable athletes in the world, from any sport.

The USA have been waiting for their own soccer superstar for a long time. Now they've got him.

 

[Danfunkel]

Maybe. But Hazard leaving for Madrid has been gathering pace for ages now, wouldn't be surprised to see it happen.

Funnily enough the only people i've seen saying this isn't a bargain and BVB have got a cracking deal are.. Liverpool fans Wonder why...?

 

[Challows]

I thought it was 'difficult' to sign players?

That horseshit is really starting to wear thin.

His contract expires in 2020 and he’s refusing to sign a new one. Chelsea are just over paying a bit now to sign him before everyone else gets involved in the summer, hence the loan back to BVB.

Yet Jadon Sancho had usurped him as Dortmund's main wonderkid.

Pulisic might turn out brilliant, maybe a change of scenery will make him as a top footballer. But his last six months have been very unconvincing.

They haven't been bad, but Sancho has been better.

Pulisic looks to be stagnating under the new manager, but someone like Poch or Klopp could have worked wonders with him.

Hudson Odoi must be off then, fucked if you're a decent youth player at Chelsea - unless you like money, then as you were.

I'm going on Rafa Honigstein and Archie Rhind-Tutt's writings and podcast appearances tbh, both have said repeatedly that Pulisic has stagnated or even gone backwards. As you say, that might have a lot to do with the new manager if it's a style that doesn't suit him.

I'm not discounting his potential, and he is undoubtedly an incredible marketing asset in the USA, but there's no guarantee he'll be a massive hit on the pitch at Chelsea.

£250 million on four players alone in the last 18 months for Chelsea ... We can fucking dream on.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

Can't help but feel we've missed one fuck off big boat on this one.

Really annoyed me this.

"Poor" Chelsea eh ?

 

[Primativ]

We don’t need him though. He isn’t better than Son, and we have Moura and Lamela and Alli fighting for positions there.

We need to be spending that kind of money on CMs.

 

[SpursDave88]

I'll never forget when Modric wanted to leave Spurs for Chelsea..."Mr Abrahamovic is very ambitious". Do you think any player will say that if Levy?

2011 called, it wants its irrelevant moment back.

 

[aliyid]

Dammit that’s a shame as I really like him as a player but now he’s going to be forever tarnished by them.

"It's a privilege to have signed for such a legendary club," he said.

fml, i can't stop laughing. that's like saying genghis khan had people issues.
