True. I'm struggling to think of reasons why we'd buy Pulisic without changing formation or letting someone go from the attack.

Also worth pointing out that Bale chose Real Madrid over Utd. even though Utd offered us more money. Don't think it was ever reported if they offered him a bigger salary, probably because they never got as far as personal terms as he had his heart set on Madrid.
I watched the first 35 minutes, Pulisic was rank. I counted 10 interventions (I probably missed a few short passes but these were the ones where he passed more than 4 yards or ran with the ball). One 5 yd pass found a team mate, eight times he either mishit the pass or, more commonly lost the ball, and the remaining one time he kicked it straight out of play when taking a corner.
He may have improved but the game was such utter shit I went to bed
Yep. Not sure if we don't utilise him as well as Roma did but doesn't score enough.
Not worried if he stays as he still contributes to the squad but if a good offer comes in I'd take it and try and upgrade him.
Report: Tottenham has transfer budget of 3 billion dollars and two Big Macs for next week of transfer window.
-> is that legit enough report for you
? ---------------------------------------------------------------
Seriously though? 150 mil plus outgoing sales?
In context where our net spenditure across Poch era has been smth around 40 mil?
What are you smoking mate
I like Zaha aswell but I have fears over him , his bollocks shrank at Man U and thought it was a bit of a cowards move to sign such a long deal with Palace , he seems to lack ambition and belief that he can be one of the best.
Oh, and one quick thing about the recent 'Tottenham won't sign Bale' articles - this feels very much like something the club has directly briefed the journalists on. Perhaps because the entire fanbase on social media suddenly fell in love with the idea of re-signing him.
Unless it's an enormous bluff (I don't think so, sadly).
Alas, it'd probably be in our best interests for Bale to renegotiate with Real and sign a new contract. Please God, I never want to see him at United.
Except the headline is not "Tottenham won't sign Bale", it is "Bale will not return to Tottenham", and the difference is important. God, I so want him to come now, even for a loan or short stint, just to shove that almighty opinion that, as of today, is still taking up headline inches on the BBC front page right up their square seat arses.
Damn Liverpool are making some quality signings. If they fix their CB, GK issues I see them winning the league or CL in 2 years.
Clueless to say the least.

So, under that logic we were batshit stupid to let Lennon and Townsend go, right?
Their speed "terrify teams" as well?
Also it is absolutely ridiculous to suggest that Zaha would be better back-up striker than what we already have in Son...
I would not make such strong claims (PL/CL) but it was exactly what I tought a bit ago - they are 1 quality GK and CB (actually also 1 quality striker, as this would give back-up to front 3 AND would allow to change their tactics. Ings, Solanke and Origi will not cut) away from being quite scary team -> they have front 3 sorted out right now. They have Keita, Fabinho, Henderson, Ox, Milner, Wijnaldum for CM positions, decent fullbacks and van Dijk as leader of defence.
Not saying that they have leaped us or whatever, just stating that they are doing good business on the market now.
He's in the same team as Townsend and totally outperforms Townsend as for Lennon he's done and apologies if I'm wrong but I don't recall anybody saying Zaha would be a better back up striker than Son only that he would be an option.
Hendo, Ox , Lallana and new CF as squad players whilst their first team looks like this
------------------new GK
TAA-----new CB----VVD-----Robertson
------------Fabinho----Keita
-----------------Fekir
Salah----------Firmino----------Mane
That would be the only team in PL capable to go toe to toe with City.
Go buy a Liverpool shirt and fuck off then
Includes 3 players they haven't even signed 4 if you count Fabinho , mugged yaself right off with that one , you can shove that disagree button up your arse aswell you twat.
I think I'll pass.
Liverpool are midtable fodder that won't amount to anything in the next few years.
As regards Pulisic, wouldn’t he be a case of contingency planning for the day in the not too distant future, when Son has to do his National service?
His versatility would mean he got plenty of game time to get used to the systems & his teammates but long term, we do have to consider what we do if/when Son has to leave for 2 years because I don’t see him returning as a top level professional after 2 years patrolling the N/S Korean border.
I hope it doesn’t happen, but it’s looking increasingly likely unless the national team can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Within the space of 20 minutes you've said the Scousers are the only team capable of challenging, and that they're also midtable fodder?
You're a fucking idiot.
He's just trolling
Looking at your avatar, you've got a face only a mother could love.
I feel for you fam, I really do.
Without even looking at the rest of it that team would be cut open by any team that’s decent. Basically would be playing with a front 5 while Fabinho tries to cover all of midfield himself.
As stated before eveyerone is panicking about what Liverpool are spending but Keïta is his best ever season didn’t match Ali last year stat wise despite Ali being poor last year, and as seen by Bakayoko and others players from the French league in midfield often struggle in the Prem. So no point making big statements like they are gonna challenge because it’s just as likely they all flop.
