 Chelsea signed Pulisic.

Edit: beaten, so for content - do they even really need another attacking midfielder? Seems like they love laying down money on players they wont use.

I'm not sure why everyone is so meh about Pulisic. He's easily in the top 10 to 20 players under 23 in world football right now.

There are 4 wide attacking players at Chelsea currently, of which 2 are old and should be phased out, and the other 2 have 18 months left on their contracts and haven't signed new deals yet.

I imagine if this transfer had been announced 6 months ago when Pulisic was in form, people would be much less critical

I've only seen him play a few times, which is the only real way to gauge a player, so feel free to disregard my opinion - but his numbers arent exactly stellar. I'm sure he's good and will develop well, he's only 20, but 58m is a lot of cash for 4 goals and 6 assists in the Bundesliga last year (when he was in form, I guess?)

The signing is less of a mystery to me on being reminded that Willian and Pedro are getting on a bit, and Hazard is probably off to Madrid, but I can't help feeling that there would be a lot less excitement about Pulisic if he was from Croatia.
