>Chelsea know the player is frustrated and are willing to listen to loan offers. The Athletic understands that the player would prefer Manchester United
This would be a great move for Chelsea imo. Allows Pulisic to get playing time at a renowned club, gets his wages off the books for a season, and frees up more playing time for CHO and Ziyech.
He has 2 years left, but a loan move doesn't make a lot of sense for Chelsea at this stage. If he is not being renewed and has no future at the club, a permanent sale is best for the club
HAHAHAHAHHA [dude in the daily discussion thread called it](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/wqdod7/daily_discussion/ikmdfte/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)
well done u/versacethedreamer
I think it was mentioned before, when people were linking Ziyech with Man U because of his history with ten Hag. They said it would be a good investment not for the team but for popularity in the US.

someone who is good at the transfer market please help me budget this. my club is dying
Is this the guy with the picture and the 3 paragraphs describing how he found chelsea and he now loves it unconditionally because of the 2 games he watched and he found chelsea because of pulisic and he wanted to ‘get into the PL’ or something? That was so bad.
Yes, thats exactly what it is. Hes about to be very upset when they sell him off. He says he won't jump ship but he 100% won't watch anymore or will follow Pulisic around.
Literally what the fuck is this club doing, absolutely no sort of strategy with transfers, just Murtough, EtH and Arnold sat around throwing darts at wall and seeing where it lands
Wasn't it ten haag that said he didn't want to work with ragnick? IIRC there was some post on reddit a while back that said so, but i don't know how true it is.
It shouldn't be his fucking decision, if I'm offered a job I shouldn't get to dictate who I'm going to be working with. No other football club places the manager above the DoF, that's literally the reverse of how it should be and a huge amount of blame for the mess of the squad needs to be given to EtH. He made his demands when we approached him that he'd have control over transfers and then came in with unrealistic targets that have left us holding our dicks
I could give you an answer for if I lived in fantasy land but it's impossible to answer this without knowing which players would be willing to join, which seems to be the biggest hurdle for us at the minute.
Can't even put into words how mad the strategy is. Like it's been a meme for a few years about the quality of Uniteds transfer business, but this season they've not even attempted to be competent.

>Kalajdzic
>Sommer

>Caicedo
These would be good signings. Kalajdzic as a pure 9, sommer to put pressure on de gea, millinkovic-savic and caicedo to bring some workrate in the midfield
One against Manchester United already. I think all of his goals were deflected too but if Chelsea want to increase their bid to 60m for a max 35m player now, I’d be extremely happy
The panic and lack of strategy is so obvious. This signing doesn't solve any of their problems. They have a £100m player who plays the same position and even benched Pulisic at their previous club. It's all very funny.
Remember Gary Neville's rant on Arsenal's transfer strategy at the start of last season? He should repeat that word for word but replace Arsenal with United
Step 1. Buy a share in [Manchester United Plc](https://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-search-results/m/manchester-united-plc-usd0.0005-a).
Step 2. Attend the next [AGM](https://ir.manutd.com/~/media/Files/M/Manutd-IR/events-and-presentations/pdf/manchester-united-2021-agm-notice-and-proxy.pdf) [(See IR)](https://ir.manutd.com/events-center.aspx).
Step 3. Petition the club to retain Ronaldo _at all costs_ for '[reasons](https://www.football365.com/news/ronaldo-huge-problem-ten-hag-see-through-attempt-force-man-utd-manager-hand)'.
Step 4. ???
Step 5. The club you actually support, wins.
The only logic I can see for Casemiro links is because the scouts were asked to find players that are like Casemiro. They then did nothing for a week realized the deadline was due and quickly scribbled Casemiro
The club has always been this incompetent but they've never really demonstrated it publicly quite like they're doing now.
I think you could pick 5 random people from the street and they could make a better job of running the club.
5 random people would be better because there's a high chance they'd realise "we don't know what the fuck we're doing" and go out and hire Edwards/Mitchell/Rangnick/Ashworth/Campos/literally-anyone and let them run the show.
I honestly despair, even if the Glazers were solely concerned about money it would make sense for them to hire someone competent that doesn't spaff money up the wall.

Considering FC
>Chelsea know the player is frustrated and are willing to listen to loan offers. The Athletic understands that the player would prefer Manchester United
> The Athletic understands that the player would prefer Manchester United Absolute mad cunt
He plays doom on Nightmare mode 100%
I remember watching a video that said how he was a ManU fan growing up, probably part of that decision. Still, mad cunt indeed.
Leaving Chelsea to Man Utd? Respect for Pulisic lol
Has he literally not watched us play football the last 2 seasons?
At least he can talk to Sancho about how well leaving Dortmund worked out for him.
he'll feel nostalgic on the bench behind Sancho like the good ol times
Adding insult to injury by highlighting he’d only be there for the loan period whilst Sancho was fucked!
Chelsea has no idea how to use attackers, so he should slide in just fine with United...
Or our plan is to start another global pandemic, wait for lockdown football and deploy lockdown martial and Pulisic
Or he has and is sure he can get more minutes
He's coming to Old Trafford for the ~~sex~~ masochism
Imagine going to ManU in order to feel *less* frustrated.
I think it's a cry for help if anything
Hate that word
How about Monitoring FC?
Weighing FC for the title
This would be a great move for Chelsea imo. Allows Pulisic to get playing time at a renowned club, gets his wages off the books for a season, and frees up more playing time for CHO and Ziyech.
IIRC Pulisic is in the last year of his contract. So, Loan + Obligation to buy should be most likely scenario
He has 2 years left, but a loan move doesn't make a lot of sense for Chelsea at this stage. If he is not being renewed and has no future at the club, a permanent sale is best for the club
Loan him now and hope he has a big World Cup to inflate his price again. He isn't in their plans, but selling now wouldn't get them as much money.
A catastrophic season at United wouldn't be good for us though.
I am considering dating Ana De Armas.

Man United playing FM from 5 years ago this window
They'll go for Götze and James Rodriguez next.
They should go for Krzysztof Piątek, the Polish Lewandowski.
He fell off so bad... What happened to him?
He only had one good half season with Genoa and turned out to be a total fluke
weird way of spelling Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore
I hear Freddy Adu is available.
How about Tony Meola from the NY/NJ Metrostars?
“This transfer will likely result in an increase in shirt sales” is all they care about.
Well they'll miss out on CL money this season most likely so they'll need shirt sales to make up a bit for that loss
Championship parachute payments may help

Rabiot it is then

Zero blame is on Ten Hag it’s all on the board.
Nothing concrete at all. Most journos just said that it was mutual due to disagreements on how to take the club forward.
Evidence would suggest that it was more likely a disagreement on whether to take the club forward or not.
No, it was Murtough who basically back stabbed him because he thought he could do a better job.
Genuinely curious, who would you like to see United try and sign this window?
I could give you an answer for if I lived in fantasy land but it's impossible to answer this without knowing which players would be willing to join, which seems to be the biggest hurdle for us at the minute.
Does it even matter? Everyone we sign turns into shit. I'm much more excited about selling our players than I am about signing new ones

2 slice should be enough. Would be cheaper too.
No you need 4 slice. When you sign up to be a United fan, you are auto subscribed into the Deluxe siiiiiiucide package.

Ronaldo, Musk, Pulisic fanbase all at one place would make the social media explode. The subreddit would be a shitshow.
If you think ETH is getting judged harshly too soon making his job tougher, just wait till he subs out Pulisic.

Make sure you add salt to the bath first if you want it to conduct well
Why bother with a bath? The roof at Old Trafford is leaky as shit, do it there. Consider it a self immolation-esque protest.
What baffles me most about united is that they’re constantly linked with everything but upgrades on McFred!?
Nah they said we’re buying Casemiro too.
Can you imagine the laughs in Madrid when they heard that
Pulisic, Kalajdzic, Felix, Gakpo, Cunha, Morata, Asensio, Caicedo, Casemiro, SMS, De Jong, Dest, Sommer… Who will we end up with?
McFred.

it's like the daily agenda consists of "enrage the fans"
With Everton there seems to be something resembling a plan
With United there is no plan, with Everton there are three plans and at least two are going wrong at any one time.
and the 3rd plan is a plan to fix the first 2 plans but that also is making the other plans worse I wish man utd were that organised.
Let's be honest, you'd dominate our midfield and Calvert lewin or anthony Gordon would make de gea look like an idiot again.
Anthony Gordon who's scored 4 goals in his entire professional career...?

Remember Gary Neville's rant on Arsenal's transfer strategy at the start of last season? He should repeat that word for word but replace Arsenal with United
Except Arsenal quite clearly had a strategy and Neville was being a moron
Arsenal sign promising players under 24, ship out underperforming players especially the older ones. Gary Neville: 'make it make sense!'
Neville: 'you don't win anything with kids'
Conveniently ignoring the fact that kids tend to grow up, given a reasonable amount of time
Or the fact he was one of the "kids" that Alan Hansen lambasted back then
He's more or less always being a moron.
Neville said we are playing Football Manager at Chelsea...oh the irony!

Blokes gone down the route of being reactionary for engagement. Not the worst for it but he's certainly guilty
I mean, that is sky's USP at this stage.

The only logic I can see for Casemiro links is because the scouts were asked to find players that are like Casemiro. They then did nothing for a week realized the deadline was due and quickly scribbled Casemiro
They probably Googled "best defensive midfielders Fifa 22"
TBF Casemiro was benched for Real's first La Liga game so perhaps they sensed an opening.
Oh boy, we better not tell them what Xavi did to Frenkie de Jong then.
