Good buy for me. Beginning to think we don’t actually need a back up for Kane.. played some of our best football with a false 9.

And it's a good buy for him

Really? Lucas is quite a good shifty playmaker and we saw it in most of his cameos. Especially a few outside of the boot throughballs. :hungry:

I haven't really watched that much of Pulisic but i have seen some matches (used to live with a friend that followed the bundesliga) and he looks like a great prospect. As another one mentioned i see him more as a playmaker with pace and trickery rather than a pacey winger with playmaking abilities. Seems like he has good vision and a great footballing iq as well. This is only my limited opinion though and to be fair i haven't seen much of Moura either - only the few times he has played for us. Must be my subconscious mind that find him less attractive as a player because of his baldness. :ROFLMAO:

Doubt he was even part of the 1st team when klopp was there,
And if he was there for klopps last season, dortmund almost got relagated, so I doubt pulisic will be running back to klopp

Pulisic signed as a youth player in February 2015 and Klopp left in October 2015 and didn't get into the first team squad until after he left. Wouldn't think that short period of what i would imagine was little contact between the two if any would have any bearing on a transfer destination now.

I just think people don’t really know what type of player Lucas is. I think they know he’s very fast so they automatically type cast him. He is very quick but he’s not really an off the shoulder runner.

He’s much more of a playmaker than a scorer and I’m not sure if people have watched him enough so far to know that. Plus while I say playmaker he still plays more like a number 10 rather than a winger.

Lucas hasen't played much in that position in his career though. Majority of his apps is at AMR/RW. He's played 6249 more minuits at AMR than in CAM.

Doesn't look too optimistic.

Maybe it just means he's expensive but we're spending the money regardless. As in, breaking our transfer record.

Sadly £££ is probably going to be the case for anyone who will push for a starting place in our squad. Unless we can find a bargain somewhere.

if we are/were prepared to go to potentially 65/70m for martial, i don't doubt we'll pay what was/is needed.

am with tiger on this one, i took it to just mean it's a shitload of cash for the deal, not that we're not still in the game. gamechangers unfortunately aren't cheap.

Anyone decent is going to be expensive.

We are a top team, so we need top players.

Exactly. I’d rather see us spend the money on 1 good player than buy another Sissoko or another random winger from the French league.

Wow! We're paying £184 million for him?

Can't accuse Levy of not forking out now. That is what you meant isn't it? :whistle:

Oh so true & we're at a point now where as Poch has said we need to take risks & that may mean pushing the boat out for a player that's going to take us from a good team to a very good team.

Nope.

Their stance hasn't changed, they still want a fortune for him, told 70mil+ Euro's. Obviously it will probs come down a bit with negotiation, but too rich for us. I was told a while back we had backed off due to fee. Heard nothing to the contrary since.
