Pullisic would be a great signing makes sense economically also with us trying to expand into the American market, the fact that kid is good at football helps to. That said if we spunk 50 on him that leaves us with I assume max 20 plus whatever sales we get to also get in a new CM and ST
Why?
Reports say we've got £150,000,000 budget. Add sales on top of that and we have probably near £200,000,000.
Thats enough for Pulisic and about 3 other signings.
Any links to them reports mate not seen them myself?
But is that the case you would imagine we would also be looking at a CB to replace Toby DeLigt being target number one

Cracking stream of USA/Bolovia.
Pulisic, very athletically pleasing to watch. A bit of Hazard about him in terms of his dribbling ability. Can tell he oozes star power. Seem to be excitement whenever he gets the ball.

I really don’t bite the 150M budget without sales. 80-100 sounds more reasonable.
DON'T. She's either mad or a parody, I remember her from last year.'Supports Man Utd, Chelsea & England'
The previous 'ITK' and Pulisic's post-match statements are getting me excited though.
Exclusive: Mauricio Pochettino wants £150m Tottenham squad overhaul including several new signings and departures
Mauricio Pochettino could get £150m to spend after signing new Spurs deal
Whilst obviously no one really knows how much we could get. That's not out of the realms of possibility. Even if £150,000,000 was to include sales, that's still 3 or 4 quality players in, I reckon.
As with most of these early-transfer-window-war-chest reports, I'm very wary of getting sucked in.
Would be fucking fantastic if this ended up being the case though.
Lololol bad time to be making up “itk”. Today, Eriksen told the Danish media why Poch and him sat down in Denmark. Poch had said a long time ago he was going on holiday to Copenhagen with his wife, and then he called Christian and invited him for dinner. No Spurs business and no contract talk, just holiday, according to Eriksen.
“He is legit BTW” - LOL
Wtf is this?
Watching on my S7 edge and that's the best quality video I've ever seen including downloaded films
Always great streams on there mate.
No it's not, she's a grade A loon...
Where is this Eriksen interview? Not that I don't believe that he said this, but I very much doubt Eriksen would have told the press the real reason he was meeting with Poch...
ochserious2:
Lol why are we signing attacking midfielders when we already have 5 pretty bloody good ones? Gonna have to play a 2-8 formation next season
Maybe we're attempting a change in formation next season?
If we potentially change to a 4-3-3, we arguably only have two players capable of playing either side of Kane (Son & Lucas). Pulisic would add to that depth.
I wouldn't put it past Eriksen and Dele to be able to play in a front 3, but they lack the pace to be as effective and would prefer them in the midfield 3 in that formation.
I see no problems with signing another winger/attacking midfielder. Especially a versatile one like Pulisic who has 2 years left on his contract.
It gives us:
RW = Lucas, Son, Pulisic, Lamela
LW = Son, Pulisic, Lucas, Lamela
AM = Eriksen, Dele, Lamela, Pulisic
FW = Kane, Son
Plenty of depth. We will be playing 50+ games next season. Injuries and dips in form happen. Plus it sounds better than having to play Sissoko there instead or a Llorente/Janssen if resting Kane
Let's just trust Pochettino - he's signed a new deal on the basis that he's backed (I imagine and hope). If he thinks Pulisic adds something to this team, back him. He isn't going to just sign attackers and wingers for the sake of signing youngsters so no one else can have them.
He's right footed Mr "I'm a football expert and I watch 200 games a week".
Though he's very good on his left and worked on it as a young player rather than practicing rabonnas.

Danish newspaper “Ekstra Bladet”.
But no, a perfectly reasonable explanation from a Spurs player is outright untrustworthy in comparison to a random dude on twitter, who’s got the latest news on Spurs from the daughter of a Dane coaching a team in Qatar.......
Single b in Rabona, kid. And do you think people only play on the wing of their strongest foot? Son's been doing it wrong this whole time.
Indeed he is right footed. Yet he is equally adept on the left as he is on the right or centre. Hence he played on the left 12-15 times this past season.
We have a new player in Lucas Moura for our right wing. Pulisic would join as a utility player who can play anywhere across both banks of a midfield. In a 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 he'd be perfect on the left of the 4.
He won't be taking out Eriksen, Dele or Son in the 3 of a 4-2-3-1 any time soon, so that's where I can see him fitting in immediately. Especially if Rose goes.
Sorry to disappoint you in one upping me. Stick to trying to claw back your Lamela shame. Your cats need a break from the beating you give them everytime he pulls your pants down.

Half time in USA.
Not the greatest half in the end for Pulisic to be honest. He actually looks tired. Having no World Cup would probably do him the world of good (If we do sign him).
Quite impressed by the young American team though. Not sure how the American fans on here feel, but must be pretty exciting that a lot of your talented youngsters are playing in Europe and developing well. McKennie looks a real talent.
