Twellman is always a good bet to break anything regarding USMNT players.
Yeah, I would buy a Twellman report.

And I don't doubt that Pulisic could be headed to PL soon - a lot of teams touring the US later this summer - so getting Pulisic on board before that makes a lot of sense.

When thinking of Pulisic I’ve been lumping him in with the likes of Martial/Zaha etc

I wonder if it’s actually more the case that we are viewing him more in the mini bracket of him and Sessegnon. As one gets promoted and looks more like staying does the other come more into view ? Similar ages and not too disimilar prices being touted

That’s how I’d look at it.

Anyone else getting slightly worries by pool signing all these players and us looking to sign a player who's mostly being sought to improve the market in USA?

If we sign Pulisic - its to improve the team.

If he does not play - it does nothing to improve the market in USA. Not sure why people don't get that. If Pulisic comes and sits, and it will turn the average American fan against Spurs...

I'm not saying he's gonna sit on the bench but he only had pretty poor season last yr so hardly justifies spending 50m on him.Do you even have any idea how much impact someone like yedlin had there?Pulisic is a superstar of course we're gonna become a fav club for everyone in America.

Yedlin had no impact - for exactly the same reason - he did not play for Spurs. (That and his nickname is not "Puligod" amongst American supporters...)

Yedlin was considered an up-and-coming star for the US. At the price we paid, it was a reasonable risk to see if he could develop into a starter. It did not work out - but he was already older than Pulisic is now, and Pulisic alrady has two seasons in Bundesliga and CL - very different calibre player.

But, if he does not make sense from a football sense, he won't make a dent in the American market. American's love "stars" they don't blindly follow players who sit on the bench.

Im not saying that it's the only reason for getting him,ofc he has great potential but I just think he needs another year at dortmund.... I

Does anyone even have the video of him talking to CNN or that was just a made up story?

Subbed off at 87 mins. Quiet game per his standards. Looks absolutely knackered though. Long season in Germany.

I'd still love to see him in Lily White.

Immediately think Dolberg but surely not at that figure not position but only Denmark link.

Think it’s rubbish though as he says Poch trip to Denmark makes sense now, but then doesn’t know who and Denmark may be red herring.
