    Seeing Matic for ManU for the first time. Love this move. Allows Pogba to go forward and makes everyone more dangerous.

    That is freaking insane money...and all it will amount to is some French Ligue 1 titles.

    Monaco will sell Mbappe for a pretty penny.

    Pulisic needs to move so I can buy my kid a jersey. I don't want a stupid looking Dortmund one.

    I think Liverpool shown some interest in signing him but I don't know anything beyond that.

    I don't see him getting on the pitch much at Pool with their attackers. Tottenham hasn't spent much money and could make use of him to pair with Alli and Kane.

    I'm with you unless they start playing a 3-5-2 with Dele Alli up front and Pulisic in support. I don't see Pulisic as a 3-4-2-1 player or a 4-5-1 wing. I think you have to put him high and in the middle of everything to maximize him. Unless the Spurs want to sell Alli, I think they'd need a formation change.

    I think I saw the rumors in the paper before they went out and got Salah. But yeah, you're right. The attack has gotten faster and better and Mane has been improving since his arrival from Southampton.

    No way BVB sell Pulisic in the next 1-2 years, in my opinion. His upside is too big to sell him prematurely, unless the Bosz experiment horribly fails and the player is disgruntled. With Dembele likely getting sold next season, it's safe to say BVB has great hopes in Pulisic.

    They also have great hopes in the value he's going to bring back. He's going to smash any record transfer amount for an American player. If he keeps on his trajectory, it's going to be a big club willing to pay BIG money to grab American tvs.

    Definitely, BVB has been operating on the buy low, sell high strategy for years and it's a solid model for them.

    I hope the transfer dominoes keep on falling faster now that Neymar is locked in Paris.

    Pulisic is definitely the great American hope right now. I don't see one of the Spanish titans, Bayern, or cash rich Man City, PSG etc going after him unless he really makes an even bigger leap, so I think one of the prestigious English clubs like Pool or Tottenham would be a logical landing place for him. Question would be if he ends up getting on the Pitch at Pool and if he really fits into tactics the way Spurs play.

    Maybe he fancies Champion's League play yearly so who really knows, but I when I think about, I think Tottenham would be a great spot for him.
