Pulisic to Chelsea in the summer according to BILD. Wouldn't think too much of it but they're usually accurate when it comes to Bundesliga players. Knew we had strong interest but also seemed he was destined for Liverpool. Still a long way to go though, sure we'll be hearing a lot about this in the future. Could also see the end of Hudson-odoi at Chelsea as Dortmund seemingly want him in return.
Personally i'd like this move, still very young with bags of potential. Think he'd be a world beater under Sarri in time and is an instant upgrade on the RW. If it does mean Odoi leaving it will definitely leave a bad taste though. Would like to have both, offload Pedro and Willian and use one of the two as rotation.

never seen him bar d 1 game i watched dortmund recently when they lost in the league only 2 weeks ago or so he didn't look anything to me but im not naive enough to judge a player who was in a team trying to win a game were every time they had d ball d opposition had 11 behind dem and also it was only his 3 or 4th start of d season apparently he's outa favour over his contract situation. jadon sancho looked a real gem . really confident tricky young lad. iv absoloutely no doubt hed shine in the pl and with the next 2 years dortmund will be forced to cash in from a big bid.

Ed001, Sport BILD is reporting that Bayern Munich have met with CHO's family regarding a move with Ralph Honigstein of ESPN also confirming the interest.
Christian Falk of Sport BILD two weeks back said that CHO's parents want him to renew with Chelsea.
Can you share any info about the situation?

{Ed001's Note - there are offers on the table for him, I didn't know who off but I would not quibble that Bayern would be one as that would make sense. He has a personal choice to make, so who knows what way he will go. Sancho's success has made a lot of players take notice.}

Ed, so far he has played 315 minutes out of a possible 2610. Do you think he should have gotten more minutes at his age?

{Ed001's Note - defo mate, if you don't find them chances to play they are not going to develop.}

From someone who knows the player very closely- he would be open to a move but wants a buyback clause in any deal. Bayern don't want that. Chelsea want a new deal but currently won't guarantee him game time. Gridlock. 2 likely solutions:
1) He goes to Bayern with a £35m+ buyback
2) Renews and goes on loan in Germany/ EPL.

I'm sure that Sancho leaving City and playing for a big European team has made a lot of young players take note. But for every Sancho there's a Solanke, surely young players looking to move on will take note of that too.
I, very biastly, think Hudson-Odoi is best placed at Chelsea, but he'll need to see more mins in the second half of the season. It's not like it's an average team showing interest in him - I'd expect 99% of pro's to be tempted by Bayern. I, . in a magical hyperthetical world, certainly would be.

Is it possible that he will be sold to another team with a buy-back inserted since Bayern don't want a buy-back?

The thing is, if a 18 year old wants big game time at any big club, he's going to be in the exactly the same position as he is in now. Jordan Sancho is 1 in a 100. For every 100 hyped up youth player, majority fade away.
Sarri has implemented him in the uefa league, League cup (I believe) and now in the premier League. what more does he expect? People forget Sancho was at Dortmund last season too and was in the exact same situation as Odoi this season.

Mc the difference is the minutes he’s played. We’ve been cruising at times and should have been able to bring him on but instead we had 3 centre mids on the bench. He needs games.

BILD reporting we've agreed a €45m fee for Pulisic 😔 really not convinced but I'll back him either way. If that's Hazards replacement I'm really starting to worry about what direction the clubs going in. Especially when Willian and Alonso keep starting.
Sorry for the negative post anyway just my opinion.

And yet if we didn't bid for him, everyone would moan we weren't trying to sign top young talents. If Liverpool or City had supposedly agreed this deal, everyone would be up in arms.
No wonder so many regular posters and Ed002 have left- the negativity is astonishing.

Pulisic plays RW for the most part although he is capable of playing across the front 3.

Before posting negative comments, you will note from watching Pulisic play that he is a direct pacey winger with a lot of dribbling abilities. He is very technical and has a good eye for a pass and don't forget he is only 20 years old. I'll be very happy with him in board.
ED1 what are your thoughts on him mate.

{Ed001's Note - I like him a lot personally. Got a good head on his shoulders and only got dropped as he turned down a new contract.}

One of the things I really like about what I've seen of him (which, admittedly is very little) is that he seems to see passes that very few players see, kind of like our very own Eden. I think that Eden and Pulisic, switching around the front three, cutting inwards would really tear apart defences once they'd get to know each other and the way the other plays. Obviously, it won't be important, if Eden leaves, but if that's the case, then I believe we'd get a player, quite similar of Eden, but without that bit of end product, that Eden's bringing at the moment.

Has good stats for winning the ball back high in opposition half and interceptions, which says he presses and has good fitness.

I’m not sure the reporting on this signing is accurate.
I was told he was joining this window not in the summer but maybe that’s the direction the negotiations have worked out.
Maybe someone can give some further insight?

KingKante is disappointed he's only costing £45m, would've been more excited if he cost £100m right?

What are you talking about Saim? I’ve never wanted him! We’re cryinv out for a left footed winger who could score. That’s why I want Pepe, pay attention to my posts.
