Sir Report post Posted January 2, 2019 https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2019/1/2/pulisic-transfer-agreed Can’t paste the text properly on my phone but he will stay at Dortmund on loan from Chelsea until the 19/20 season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulw66 Report post Posted January 2, 2019 Simon Jones from the Standard saying this won't impact the club's intent to get Hazard and CHO to sign new deals. We shall see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Report post Posted January 2, 2019 Haven’t seen him play much, but a talent that’s for sure. Just goes to show how ridiculous the market is when we pay just under 60 million? for someone who’s contract expires at the end of the season... I wonder if the loan of Bats helped in the negotiation as well. Fantastic step in the right direction, though, it really is. Obviously, again, not sure what this will mean for Hazard but I imagine only the very few know this answer. By the sounds of it Pulisic has huge potential, and he will be massive as well for marketing etc being the poster boy of US football and with the Chelsea brand out there. Many have highlighted some injury concerns/not making the Dortmund team because of other talents? Perhaps some on here can opine more on that. Did he lose his place to others because of injury or? Anyway, sounds like a fantastic signing for the future of the club and someone with huge potential on and off the pitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie1979 Report post Posted January 2, 2019 Good signing strange that we loaned him straight back and the price is a little on the high side he’s only got 18 months left on his contract and he’s not in there side at the minute still hoping we sign a couple of players for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so that issue is over, and they can pick him knowing that they have at least got a full price. To be honest, I think he is best playing in Germany for another 6 months. For the same reasons Tammy is best playing against similar level teams in the Championship for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weren't the complaints all about how our board was going to let our target slip through to Liverpool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
