My number one issue with this whole situation was that Chelsea clearly did not see Pulisic as a part of their future. Both management and the fanbase. I think it was unfair, but that's fine. You want to move in another direction because you don't think Pulisic is physical enough? Fine. Then transfer him away and MOVE ON. He was entering the prime of his career and you wasted 3 of these years.

Just hoarding talent all with similar skillsets, with no regard on how that's going to F up their lives, or F up the team chemistry is truly a disgusting way to operate a team.

As @Gordon Bennett might say you, sir, are a c**t.

What a completely moronic post. Pulisic was literally lighting up the cup final when he broke down injured. He was like literally in the red zone dude  when he pulled up and then spent months on the IR.

He broke down in the Cup final  spent months out and then his form fell off of a cliff by the time he came back. Constantly running with the ball instead of passing, Constantly making the wrong decision, and Constantly falling on his arse whenever anyone got near him.

Still don't let facts get in the way of your ridiculous , ill informed and lazy post. Was he not also dropped from the national team at a time that he was actually playing for us.

Another thread for the exs.

I'm so happy I created an account here so I can relish in this.

Chelsea is a disgustingly managed team. Just not giving a sh*t about players careers or player development and signing 5 wingers for 2 starting positions. I'm obviously a Pulisic fan but they all got screwed over by this. 

12th last year. 6th this year. A ridiculous coaching turnover. No consistency in management or lineups. They had talented players but since no one got consistent playtime time and their was no consistent style of play due to the coaching turnover EVERYBODY suffered.

I wanted Pulisic out of that sh*t hole for 3 years but they refused to trade him and just let him waste away on the bench.

This is what happens when he gets consistent playing time. 19 goals + assists with Milan.

The only thing that might be worse than management is YOU GUYS. The fanbase. You all had a clear bias against Pulisic from the very beginning because he was American. Always favored overrated Mason Mount because he was home grown. Look what Mason mount turned out to be.....

If you look at Pulisic's per 90 minutes numbers, outside of the last season which was a throwaway season for the entire club where everybody sucked because of management, he was very effective. I'm over here raving about his production with Milan this year but his goals per minutes are actually lower than they were in his first season. He also played a pivotal role in Chelsea's champions league run, but you guys never bought into him because he was an outsider. 

In totality, suck it Chelsea.

- Annoying and in your face when not wanted

- Pulisic fan

- Uses terms like coaching turnover, trading players and suck it. 

Always easy to spot an obnoxious yank, stick to NFL you whopper Pulisic is still w**k

Part of the reason we finished 12th is because this genius you're sucking off scored one goal all season (against a team with no manager).

You're Pulisic's dad ?

Always remember what Koulibaly said after he moved to the Premier League from Serie A....

‘In Serie A, I get to think and then run. In the Premier League, I have to run while I think. And I’m still adjusting to that.”

The pace and physicality difference between both leagues is astronomical. I'd rather not us look for players in that league anytime soon. Remember when a 37 year old Fabio Quagliarella was winning the golden boot?

Ashley Young won Serie A as a regular starter.

There are no doubt excellent teams and players in Serie A, it is one of the best leagues in the world, but it's also a league that is the complete opposite in style to the Premier League.

Guy seriously thinks we're missing Pulisic when we've got Cole Palmer banging in over 20 goals and assists. 

I guess that's what happens when you only watch one player. 

What is that I hear? Are those calls coming from all the top clubs around the world as Pulisic has skyrocketed to the top of transfer targets? Reports everywhere that Liverpool is looking to make a move on him after he scored on them yet again?

Hmmm. Guess so.

No its ok though. Continue to change your entire roster over every 3 years rather than making strategic, smart investments with a priority on player development. Surely that strategy will work one of these days.

We have been here before....

He isn't a bad player, nobody said he was. But he has already proved to be too brittle, inconsistent and lightweight for the EPL.

Wouldn’t read too much into his output in Serie A, PL is different ball game

Bloody hell, don't scare me like that @Simplymo! Had to google to make sure @nonotnowjim is right: he was sold, not loaned. But as long as there are fanboys who keep moaning we didn't build a team around their mostly underwhelming boy and feel vindicated by his performance in a vastly different league, we'll never be really shot of him.

I'm in my third and final week of my holiday, I plan an afternoon nap to help cure a cold 😛 Can I suggest you take a loooong lunch break, on the sofa perhaps? Don't dream of any Americans though.

Even the sofa looks really nice atm...there's a fleece throw folded on the side and some really comfortable cushions nearby. I might not be able to hold out till lunch time. I'm tempted to call in an off day in lieu.

He's a decent player. I'd rather have him than Mudryk. Just he's made of glass and striuggled wioth the pace and strength of the PL. He'll flourish in a weaker league like Italy.

'skyrocketed'

'scored on them' 

'roster' 

I see some yank has found the Pulisic thread again. One day they'll realise that their country produces absolutely dog sh*t players that aren't good enough for Prem football.

Part of the reason is we had to "change our rooster" is because this genius your repping scored one goal in an entire season.
