Have his end-product stats always been laughable?

Well, depends on your definition of laughable and how much emphasis you'll put on his age. But compared to the hype, I find them to be at best unimpressive.

3 goals and 6 assists in 16/17 in 15 starts and 14 sub appearances (1518 minutes) in the Bundesliga.
4 goals and 5 assists in 17/18 in 27 starts and 5 sub appearances (2313 minutes) in the Bundesliga.
In CL he has 14 starts and 6 sub appearances so far in his career, and 2 goals and 2 assists.

He looked terrific when he played against us, but iirc he squandered most of his many chances.

It's not just the stats (which I haven't seen), anyone can see it for themselves.

Back in the day you would regularly hear "Walcott...Walcott...still Walcott! Goal kick". Pulisic is much the same - "Oh I say! And again! Audacious! Poor touch there, throw in"

Oh. When I saw him last season, I thought he looked like a wizard. Supposing you are correct, I still say we need to add one or two more players with vision.

OK, that's not impressive reading at all. Maybe I've made a bad judgement.
 
He just hasn't developed as well as we all might thought he would.

Sancho has rocked up and has pretty much bettered Pulisic stats. He struggles to even get games over Brun Larsen, another youngster.

Maybe he just needs a new club, new manager, new ideas etc. But if they're expecting a Hazard replacement, they might just struggle abit

It's a better deal for Dortmund than it is for Chelsea.
 


And there lies the problem.

Whereas I believe Poch would rather play youngsters than make signings (KWP aside)

When would we have paid that amount we couldn't agree a fee with villa for between 24-30m for grealish so this was never ever going to happen.

Grealish ain’t worth £24-30 million imo. If villa thought they were going to pull someone’s pants down for that signature, they tickled the wrong bull on the bollocks with Levy.
:levylol:
I’d have laughed at them too for that kind of valuation.

Those stats aren't that bad for somebody of his age (20)

You could say Modric had no end product when he played for us as his goals and assists were non-existent, but we all know that's not the case.

Pulisic is (or is going to be) a quality player. Those stats are doing him a disservice in my opinion.

Don’t disagree that Pulisic is a good player it’s just it’s sounds like they are going from Hazard (to Real) to Pulisic which is kind of like us with Bale to Lamela, good player but it’s a drop in quality.
