Christian Pulisic

[Snarfalicious]

I don't get how stories from reputable sources are often instantly dismissed but this thread has reached 7 pages based on a report from a website that's clearly complete trash.

Because we want to believe.

Because we want to believe.

Also just fun to discuss. Theres not many concrete interest stories other than De Ligt and Sess so it's nice to discuss some prospects and how they would fit.

Eh I'd say we're not that great at passing. Eriksen is great at passing, Kane, Dele and Winks have their moments but no one else sticks out (maybe Lamela and Lucas). That's not good.

Kane pre- most recent ankle injury, was pinging balls for fun. He's an underrated passer or rather, he rarely passes but when he does it's usually spectacular.

Meh, I disagree. The ball doesn’t just magically fall into shooting range. As a team, we are better moving the ball from player to player than we are dribbling it. That was my point. Moura is different int that he can dribble and that’s also a quality he shares with Pulisic.

I mean I don't think we're really very good at either. Which is a big part of why it's so easy to park a bus against us and why it was so effective this year. We move the ball so slowly.

He literally scared the shit out of our back 4.

Are you sure about that?

Yes I saw poos everywhere

Off topic, but I remember feeling terrified he'd become like Rooney when I saw him start doing this.

Yeah...that's coz we Winnie.

 

[Davo99]

I always had a sneaky feeling we’d be in for this guy.

I was terrified he'd become like Messi.

Bloody minefield, init?

 

[pedrov]

He plays nothing like Eriksen?

On defense he does. And that's not exactly a compliment.

Moura barely played for PSG this season and has lacked match fitness (also confirmed by Poch), he’s also in a new country and has to learn the tactics, culture, language, way of life etc. He was never going to feature much this season. Next season he’ll be fighting the others for a starting spot.

The same would apply to Pulisic in terms of adapting to his new surroundings. We would be mad to not sign him now given he’s got a reportedly affordable release clause. Spend another couple of seasons in Germany, may be sign a new deal and all of a sudden you’re talking £100m plus and no chance of signing him.

We need both players whom can walk into our 1st eleven and talent capable of pushing the starters and/or forcing their way into the team. Talent = Sessegnon and Pulisic.

As a Spurs fan, I get that. I'd love to stockpile as much young talent as possible, and Pulisic would be a nice part of the collection.

But I'm also a Pulisic fan, so seeing him as a back up to a back up, showing up in only cup matches, isn't high on my wish list. And again, he has yet to show the kind of game that Poch would ask of him. I hope the kid stays strong and resists the pull to any EPL club for just a few years. He'll be a lot wealthier in the long run and whoever gets him (hopefully Spurs) will have a much better player in the end.

Tottenham needs a second striker more than anything else on attack. Beyond that, I agree that there is already a lot of talent to employ. Moura needs more playing time, and with that the encouragement to carry the ball into more central areas. He can destroy a defense's shape in a blink with his speed and directness. I'd just like to see him come from deeper positions with the ball.

No doubt Pulisic has the potential to be special, and I agree with you that a move to an EPL club is probably not the best for his career at this point. He needs to stay at Dortmund another year and show that he can bounce back from a sub-par season (compared to the season before).
Agree with you on the 2nd striker, we continue to bring in players that fail to be Kane's deputy and I would rather give some of the youth players (Sterling, Griffiths) a chance in the preseason to train with the first team and get some minutes in the ICC. If either performs well in the ICC, let them train with the first team next season in the hopes of developing them into a backup for Kane (much more cost effective and shows a path to the first team for the other promising academy players).

It's likely that in a year or two, if he progresses, Pulisic will be well out of our reach!

In a year or two, we should be breaking the world transfer record on a regular basis.
