RDCW Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Let's send him on his way please. He is criminally unproductive and lacks the robustness required for the Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I was listening to a European football podcast which touched on the recent Juventus points deduction. The journalist said that it was revealed in an earlier investigation that Juventus used the German website Transfermarkt to benchmark the valuations of players in the deals they were conducting. I've just had a look at the website and it values Pulisic at €38m so roughly £33m...which is ridiculous. I'd be amazed if we could get £15-20m for him the summer. I think the most likely outcome is that he sticks around for another season because he'll get more money as a free agent in the summer of 2024.

Honestly, this is first I've heard of this being a thing. It's also worth to note that Juventus aren't the only side that inflated player values when it came to transfers, despite being the only team investigated and punished. I'd highly recommend looking at how Napoli for instance, managed the signing of Osimhen from Lille. That said, and more on topic, I don't see any team coming close to meeting that sort of transfermarkt figure for Pulisic. If we can get anything over £15m I'd be extremely satisfied. Either way he needs to be gone one way or another come the summer. I had hoped we'd bugger him off in January but after getting injured that more or less killed that idea.

I think there are a few players will be offering leaving incentives to and Pulisic is one of them. We'll need wages off the books and pretty quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to know without knowing the individual. His playing time here over the last two years has been somewhat limited. With the arrival of Mudryk and Modueke, it will be non existent. If he sticks around for 2023/24, he wont play at all. Will he want to take the salary and watch from the sidelines? I would expect not, as he is someone who clearly places a high level of importance in playing for the national team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do offer financial incentives to players to leave, will this be counted as "extraordinary payments" for FFP purposes, like when we sack managers? 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference being next season, he won't be making the matchday squads, barring maybe league cup ties. He has had limited playing time this last couple of seasons, but it has been more than what he will be getting next year. It is pretty clear he places a high importance on the NT, so I don't see him jeopardising that by sitting in the stands, but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xceleryx Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Absolute dross, said it when he signed. Can't believe we not only spent £60m on him but allowed him to spend 4 seasons here at that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chara Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 On my PC feed a whole article breaking down Pulisic's game involvement ...if I hadn't seen the game I would have thought it was a case of a valiant one man effort to drag Chelsea forward and the inference that he really was the only shining light for Chelsea. The bias and falsehood is almost laughable and a revisionist analysis of his actual playing ability and influence. That is the public face of Chelsea here and now.

Funnily enough, I had an American guy sat next to me yesterday who was very vocal about how useless Pulisic is. Clearly some Americans are actually watching him!

Blue Moon Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Were you in Shed lower? If so, I had the benefit of his company - and HIS VOICE - before the match. Why do they always shout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone actually following him and the game are under no illusions but the non watching but "Captain America" followers are invested in the "As Good As Any World Class Player" image....all about "Marketing" and pushing the game here. Initially thought he was a good buy but just another "nearly" man and not as "nearly" as some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea_Matt Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 £58,000,000. That’s all I’m going to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as bad as the £72,000,000 on Kepa and £97,000,000 on the Lump. Who on earth was in charge of recruitment. Had they ever watched football before? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
