Guess that rules out Martial/Bale, sad. Would prefer them any time of the week.

I disagree. You know who hasn't picked a team? My son. His friends. Pulisic is 19, he can be around for a very long time. If you hold a player like that for a decade, the long term market impact for the club can be a monster.
Granted I've not looked at every post in detail, but I've not seen anyone state that any putative Pulisic transfer is to be done purely for commercial interests. Ultimately, it pretty much goes without saying that a player who will cost a supposed £50 million is going to be a good player. Therefore if someone speaks of the commercial side of things, it's just highlighting one aspect of a possible transfer. That doesn't mean they don't know that the player is a good one. Like I say, the two are not mutually exclusive - just because one person may choose to mention the commercial possibilities only doesn't mean that's the only thing they know of the player.agreed - im speaking about on here specifically when Pulisic is mentioned, people can't run fast enough to be first to say - this is a commercial signing rather than looking at how good this guy actually is.

It harkens back to Yedlin, and to a lesser extent Dempsey.Granted I've not looked at every post in detail, but I've not seen anyone state that any putative Pulisic transfer is to be done purely for commercial interests.

Depends if he becomes a megastar imo. I’m no expert but I’ve seen a tonne of people jumping ship to the Lakers, following LeBron - obviously he’ll almost definitely never get to that level, but could see at least 5/6 people jumping over to full time coysers.
You Americans have no loyalty. *

we have no chance to get Bale regardless. We simply can not afford him.
I'd rather have Pulisic than MartialGuess that rules out Martial/Bale, sad. Would prefer them any time of the week.

Sorry disagree with you. I recently went to the Dortmund LAFC game and there were so many Pulisic Dortmund tops around it was ridiculous. So either there are waaaaay more Dortmund fans in Los Angeles that happen to also have Pulisic as their favorite player than I previously thought, or US fans tend to follow teams that have star players. It's naive to think that Pulisic signing for Spurs wouldn't A) bring Spurs to the attention of more people in the US, B) Sell more Spurs shirts in the US and C) have some fans switch allegiance to Spurs.I'm an American Spurs fan also and I'm increasingly angry when I read the "Pulisic would help sell shirts & help our US exposure". Honestly, you can watch every single Premier League game each week and fans have already picked their teams for the most part but thats not what upsets me so much. What upsets me is Pulisic is a major talent. He would not be some signing that satisfies sponsors or opens up markets, he would be a major addition on the pitch. He is incredibly hard working, has a dash of creativity and spark while dribbling that only Dele, Eriksen & Lucas have on the ball and is direct and aggressive in his attacks going forward. He works hard for the team and doesnt ignore his defensive responsibilities. He would be a great signing for footballing reasons.
It must be disappointing that you have been unable to get your son to believe in the Spurs way . Surely that's the Real issue in your post!
I Remember Hercules saying something similar about his contract clauses being in our favor.WE HAVE ITK!
Who: The Goat
When: 5th July
Where: SC
The Goat hears that we're preparing a formal bid and that he has some contract clauses that are in our favour.
EDIT: This is about Pulisic btw. Thanks @Hotspur1978
Grealish as a number 8, and a WF player like Pulisic or Martial. If we get Pulisic over Martial we are potentially short of a back up CF, a role Son or Martial can play, but we’d lose Son for a period this season which would leave us short for a whileSo what's the feeling, is Pulisic instead of Grealish, or instead of Martial/Plea, or aswell as both?
