Christian Pulisic

I think you underestimate the strength of the NBA around the world.

ESPN ranks them based on: 1. Internet Search Score, 2. Endorsements and, 3. Social Media followers

1. Cristiano Ronaldo
2. LeBron James
3. Lionel Messi


So, mock all you want - but when LeBron James is wearing your shirt - its a trend-setter for people not already predisposed to buy it....

Of course, James has a 2% stake in Liverpool, so I think we can see where this is headed...

You make a good point about exposure, but hardly anyone outside America gives a fuck about basketball.

Thats not true at all world-wide. Nobody cares in England. But basketball is the 2nd biggest sport globally, and the fastest growing.

Is that the new away shirt?

No - its a USA away shirt

I'd say cricket has more people playing than basketball but whatever. You original point is valid.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

sigh - this was not an attack on your manhood.

LeBron James wearing your shirt on Instagram is a pretty big deal - in terms of raising awareness among an audience that is not predisposed to know who you are. A lot more people know LeBron James than Christian Pulisic.

I forgot that James is a minority owner in Liverpool - I think they are both Nike athletes, and this would make more sense if there is a deal brewing to send Pulisic to Liverpool.

Liverpool look stacked with talent for next year. Even without Pulisic. Keita, Fabinho, Salah, Firmino, Mane. And probably Fekir.

Nowhere outside of the US gives a flying fuck about basketball, relatively.

This is Liverpool you're talking about - the kings of stockpiling.

They normally have at least 8 strikers on the books, of which they destroy the legs of at least 3.

Patently false.

 

[whitelanefever]

If I was Pulisic Id stay at Dortmund. He's already a regular at one of the bigger clubs in Europe.

He's a utd fan. So they will have the advantage using Martial as makeweights.. who's the better coach for him.. that's an easy answerer

The only consolation we can take from Trix's '£' post is that you know at least one person counted all of the pound signs in case it was a cryptic.

If you are right and it is a trend setter then there are a very large number of people who need to get out more.

Yarmolenko being heavily linked with West Ham. Doubt Dortmund would be offloading him if they thought they were close to loosing Pulisic as well. Sadly. Really think Poch could take this guys talent to the next level

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Is it just me that doesn't think he fits what we are looking for? Undoubted potential, but so far we're being told we're looking for a Dembele replacement, which he isn't, or a WF capable of playing CF, like Martial, which he also isn't.
It's a big outlay on a position we're not urgently looking to add.

... LeBron is outraged by everything ashamed of nothing too?
