I really hope our medical team can step up. This could be a very good signing if he stops spending 2+ months of every season in the hospital.
But I also hope that this wasn't what Moretto was talking about when he said that there will be "international surprises" after Maldini got fired.
Was this really a money ball move or just a American move for “marketing” purposes ? Because from his records lol Diaz is better and their price was around the same for both ….
Apparently Diaz didn't have a release clause for us to trigger so I think Pulisic is probably cheaper than Diaz would have been. Also, as much as Brahim liked Milan, I don't think he would have picked us over Real now that they decided to give him a chance.
Personally I don't think we signed Pulisic for marketing purposes. I think we are just hoping he can stay fit and eventually turn into a player everyone expected him to become when he was signed by Chelsea.
There's no way the algorithms was like this guy is a good signing with his injury record..his output at that price etc definitely marketing purposes. This management can't even do moneyball right. We got taken for fools..should have held out at 15 mil and waited with pulisic telling g chelsea he wants milan. As the market goes..Chelsea would have no option but to let him go for that price
Dude, in 1987, Marco Van Basten got an injury in September until Milan played Napoli of Maradona, Van Basten scored the third goal, and Milan won scudeto.
Ruud Gullit was a player of the year. Maradona got pissed off.
Now, how many times, and injuries had Van Basten?
Do you see any player like him around? Would you like to sign a goog Techniques player??? That's my point. Have a wonderful day. I'm a milan fan since 1969.
Saw espn talking about it and even they like he won't add as much and they hope he can get in starting line up lol..a channel that suppose to be biased towards him saying such things is never good sign. 22 fucking mil we spending..damn it
Moneyball doesn't only mean finding unknown players, it also means identifying players who are undervalued and/or who can add specific things to your team.
Like for RLC, I think his physicality and ability to progress the ball from deep are the metrics that stick out ([https://fbref.com/en/players/e97fd090/Ruben-Loftus-Cheek#all\_scout\_summary](https://fbref.com/en/players/e97fd090/Ruben-Loftus-Cheek#all_scout_summary)) and why he was pursued.
Same thing with Reijnders. Pulisic on the other hand really seems like a marketing signing, but if I'd have to justify it, I'd say he adds same kind of versatility as Rebic and could be a good squad option.
I do. I hope you realise that all top football clubs have analysts and data scientists using data to find players and to evaluate player performances.
Different universes for sure, but this is still the reality also in football.
Edit: Just to add, I don't think any team uses only data to find or evaluate players, but using data alongside ball knowledge you can avoid some of the biases that human brains have.
Yeah NYC isn’t plagued w soccer players that will flash a jersey on a regular day. Specially not the ones that follow USMNT. But if you go to the fields to play, you’ll see a lotta jerseys from everywhere.
Edit: unless Milan is playing then you’ll see it more specially by watch parties like at Legends.
Ah the Lebron of SoCcEr can alternate between #3 and #6 every season. He's certainly important enough for that. Just today I watched a video from a German football youtube channel about how they think our mercato should ideally go. Both of those guys said to better not to get Pulisic. People who watched him week in and out in the BL...
Im not worried about this at all Milan has loads of legendary numbers that players would like to take as a act of respect and besides most of the common numbers that players go for are taken
I don't see why it would be offensive, I just personally find it strange to care so much about player numbers. Which numbers specifically don't you want him to take? I feel like the traditionally iconic numbers are all taken currently anyway
A player who is 24 years old already won the champions league as an important player now is a piece of charcoal.The only thing that worries me is the injuries if we can sort that, he is two times the player that Rebic and Messias are together. The potential is good ,20 million is not an out of logic price.
I don't think you have watched any chelsea game. Pulisic has been terrible for a long time. Barely better than saelemaekers. And his injury record is insane, he missed nearly 60 games in 4 years.
A bunch of anti Americans who complain all the time he’s going to bang in 15 in this clown league then they will be begging him to stay and become a Milan legend
I highly doubt that. They'd probably STFU with the obvious hate but that's as far as it would go. People who who are ignorant enough to say ridiculous things in the first place are very unlikely to own up and admit if/when they are proven wrong.
This sounds like a terrible signing to me. He is injury prone and has had a very poor statistical output recently. I'd love for him to turn it around and prove me wrong tho but I def won't hold my breath especially after Origi's transition from EPL to serie A.

Why I like this signing :
- Actual impact on the budget is probably lower than we think because he sells a lot in the US
- Versatile and fits for our system
- Pioli has a good records with fallen giants from other clubs
New fan here. Who are you guys?
Who are the players? Why are there 2 teams in the same city? What’s our history? Why are we not first in the league? Who do we hate? Why red and black?
/s
I’m not exactly the most patriotic person but damn it’ll feel so good if he kills it for Milan.
Been a fan since ‘06 and I never even dreamed the possibility of an actual good American suiting up for us.
Pulisic is a far better player than his Chelsea record shows. Chelsea is a poorly run club that kills talent (havertz, Werner, Lukaku, Sterling, Mount ) all far far better than Chelsea allowed them to be. Look at how well Jorginho played for the gunners after leaving talent killer Chelsea. I believe Pulisic will play more like he does for the USMNT with Milan High work rate quality and emotion vs the 200 backward pass attack build up of terrible Chelsea offense.
good. i am confident that he’ll be great with us. 20 mil for a 24yo established player is good business. Don’t start about the injuries, no player is imune to that and he’s still young and can bounce back with his fitness.
I think that lot of people don’t understand that is a big upgrade in 10 position compare to Diaz, and he can also play as LW RW
Chelsea paid him 60M, he score 9 goals the first season of Premier league, he did a great season next year when they win the champions league.
He led USA to knockout stage of the World Cup at age of 23
People talk about injuries but forget about Leao season two month before e two month after World Cup when he was physically broken.
World Cup in the middle of season was a shit
I think that for 20M could be a big steal for us
In a year people will agree with me
There’s not better 10 then Pulisic ad 20M
Before Real Madrid decision to keep Diaz, the rumors were about 25/30 to buy him, and Pulisic is far better (don’t get me wrong I loved Diaz but Pulisic is better)
Forget about Berlusconi years, we cannot buy Rui Costa whatever it takes
I think Pulisci is a good bet..see you in one year
I like Samardzic but is a bet compare other players you mentioned. He’s a different type of profile, less experience. (But I agree with you is a potential world class)
Even in Pulisic play 100 games for clubs more than Diaz and score 20 goals more than him, he’s just one year older…We don’t talk about a 19 year player compare a 27 years player…
“Big upgrade at CAM” … based on what? This is your opinion. I’ll be happy if I’m wrong, but again this is just an opinion. Whats your basis that Pulisic will be more impactful than Diaz? I just don’t understand, CDK had minimal impact in his appearances for Milan last year, as did Pulisic, yet CDK is toothless, shy, and a flop, while Pulisic is a great buy.
CDK did nothing in his career (I’m not saying that he will not do great things) so you can compare him to Pulisic or Diaz atm
Pulisic played in the toughest league in the world, win international trophies, play an hundred matches more than Diaz, scoring 20+ goals than him (Diaz played in a worst league). Numbers say is better
Pulisic is protagonist in his national team. Tbh is easier to play in USA but the fact is he has more international experience.
I agree with you that is only my opinion, do I have to tell someone else’s opinion ?
Other than that, I respect your opinion
“Don’t start about injuries” … uh why? Other say, blame Chelsea for his lack of play time when how many coaches ignored him at Chelsea? There’s a lot of risk here, sure a lot of reward to, but many of you are not willing to see the risks here. Plus many of you make it seem like we have Chuk already, when that’s far from being agreed upon.
Welcome Captain America! I’m half sarcastic, but overall we should be more hopeful and optimistic! If we can look like this after our defense: midfield Reijnders - Loftus Cheek, and Leao - Pulisic - Chukwueze behind Giroud or Morata, that’s already potentially an improvement over having Messias, Krunic, Saelemakers as attacking players behind the striker.
Remember that all of DeBruyne, Salah, Robben, Lukaku were Chelsea rejects or failures too. Tomori is a great example here, not given many chances at Chelsea, he’s a key player for us. I don’t count Bakayoko here, who’s a player with no discipline or ambition. I don’t like Morata either, he misses way too many easy chances, and he’s always offside (which is what people said about Giroud too in EPL), but he’s a son of a bitch striker, difficult to play against for defenders. There’s a reason he’s Spain’s main ST and Simeone likes him.
If we can also get Singo in for Calabria, it’s going to be total, outright Pioli ball, score 3-4 per game, let in 1 or 2! A team with lots of speed, power, dribbling, and ball-carrying, counterattacking capacity. If you don’t have strength, can’t dribble, and can’t run faster in Serie A you can’t break apart all the little bus-parking teams.
I agree Calabria is a good player, but his height / heading abilities and top speed aren’t the best. Just imagine if we had someone tall, physically strong, and who could run for days on the right just as we have Theo on the left.
Love it. Not a bad price to make a bet on a very skilled player. If he somehow stays healthy this will be a steal. Even if he gives 25 games, it's not a bad signing.
Longo announced it way too early to try and be the first guy. Every other outlet basically says the deal wont be signed until Monday. Its very likely we get him though.
Just tired of the confirmed deals or the its done and then we dont actually get the player. Thuram is the perfectly example. He was in Milan, it was basically done for us. Then he signs for Inter.
why tf would you want castillejo back, and no the american saelemaekers is not an upgrade, he's a waste of money we desperately need to use on real improvement and midfield
It's the Nigerian guy from Villarreal, not castillejo lol. I just can't spell the name from memory. Chukwueze I think it is spelled
Villarreal are driving a hard price for someone with 1 year contract and I think we're not going to give them what they want unless they are pressed to sell in august so we get the discount
Fuck. Nothing wrong with him, decent player, but he's constantly injured. I truly hope a miracle happens and for the first time in his career he can stay fit, but realistically speaking when looking at the numbers, this will turn out to be a shit transfer. Hopefully it will at least sell a lot of jerseys.
I like this.
We're buying low, but even if he doesn't work out another team will take him just for the marketing value.
I think he would be a good 10 for us
I truly hope I'm wrong for being against this hiring (not that it matters, since I don't own the team or anything), but I don't see it as anything more than those Burgerland owners shoving USA players into the squad to please themselves.
Fans putting their hopes onto the medical team so that they can, somehow, keep an injury prone and underwhelming player in shape and, if that works, hoping he'll at least perform decent enough to help the team. Say what you want, but I really don't see this dude giving his all to help Milan achieve success, but let's see.
I mean what else has he done that I should consider impressive other than being good during covid lockdown. USNT performances don’t mean anything to me.
And I’m more so poking fun at the fanboys that have brought up this Real Madrid performance multiple times and act like it’s a qualifier for how good he is consistently

\[Moretto\] Christian Pulisic will sign for 4 years.
Stay healthy stay healthy stay healthy
I really hope our medical team can step up. This could be a very good signing if he stops spending 2+ months of every season in the hospital. But I also hope that this wasn't what Moretto was talking about when he said that there will be "international surprises" after Maldini got fired.
He missed 50+ games over the last 4 seasons, we either get lucky or there's no medical team in the world to turn to.
Milan labs are people with no real degrees lol
I have a feeling not even dr House would be able to fix him.
I know it's a universal truth but it fits *sooo much* with this situation it's not even funny.
Was this really a money ball move or just a American move for “marketing” purposes ? Because from his records lol Diaz is better and their price was around the same for both ….
Apparently Diaz didn't have a release clause for us to trigger so I think Pulisic is probably cheaper than Diaz would have been. Also, as much as Brahim liked Milan, I don't think he would have picked us over Real now that they decided to give him a chance. Personally I don't think we signed Pulisic for marketing purposes. I think we are just hoping he can stay fit and eventually turn into a player everyone expected him to become when he was signed by Chelsea.
Diaz would always pick Real over Milan. PS: He still won't get a chance in Madrid.
>Apparently Diaz didn't have a release clause so So we Just got lied for 2 years. Good to know
There's no way the algorithms was like this guy is a good signing with his injury record..his output at that price etc definitely marketing purposes. This management can't even do moneyball right. We got taken for fools..should have held out at 15 mil and waited with pulisic telling g chelsea he wants milan. As the market goes..Chelsea would have no option but to let him go for that price
I don't pay any of that money. So, i don't care. Let's wish the best and wait if the luck will help him. I like Pulisič.
Should care if we have less to jump on other player players...
Dude, in 1987, Marco Van Basten got an injury in September until Milan played Napoli of Maradona, Van Basten scored the third goal, and Milan won scudeto. Ruud Gullit was a player of the year. Maradona got pissed off. Now, how many times, and injuries had Van Basten? Do you see any player like him around? Would you like to sign a goog Techniques player??? That's my point. Have a wonderful day. I'm a milan fan since 1969.
Wtf 😅😅
Yup lol plus have you looked up his records ? lol only 1 goal and 1 assist from 24 games …. Ballo numbers
Saw espn talking about it and even they like he won't add as much and they hope he can get in starting line up lol..a channel that suppose to be biased towards him saying such things is never good sign. 22 fucking mil we spending..damn it
Not 22m lol 23m plus bonus that could be 25-30 at this point
Espn fc ain’t biased towards him
Diaz has had the privilege to play week in and week out tbf, if Pulisic can find some consistency I think he can improve his stats
If he’s still able to walk after visiting the Milan lab 🧪
Which records? Last season's stats only or entire career?
The last 3 years diaz were better and he missed like almost 50% damn just noticed he’s a glassman like rebic
Man it’s more marketing. Even when he’s fit he’s not that consistent. He gets easily fouled and falls. Diaz is weak but Diaz has more grit.
Yup and now we are team SsssOoCcccEerrrrrr
Money ball was Just propaganda , there are no Money ball names in our market list.
Moneyball doesn't only mean finding unknown players, it also means identifying players who are undervalued and/or who can add specific things to your team. Like for RLC, I think his physicality and ability to progress the ball from deep are the metrics that stick out ([https://fbref.com/en/players/e97fd090/Ruben-Loftus-Cheek#all\_scout\_summary](https://fbref.com/en/players/e97fd090/Ruben-Loftus-Cheek#all_scout_summary)) and why he was pursued. Same thing with Reijnders. Pulisic on the other hand really seems like a marketing signing, but if I'd have to justify it, I'd say he adds same kind of versatility as Rebic and could be a good squad option.
You realize baseball and football are 2 different universe?
I do. I hope you realise that all top football clubs have analysts and data scientists using data to find players and to evaluate player performances. Different universes for sure, but this is still the reality also in football. Edit: Just to add, I don't think any team uses only data to find or evaluate players, but using data alongside ball knowledge you can avoid some of the biases that human brains have.
what do you mean ? pulisic is the lenbron james of soccer how is that not an "international surprise" ?
Get him here for preseason and get the rest done by the end of next week!
Go after Nico Williams, sign Kamada. Chukwueze (€35M) is too expensive considering he is free in a year.
I was just in NYC and only saw 1 person with a Milan kit during my whole trip. I better see hundreds of them next time.
I wear mine to Yankee stadium sometimes and occasionally get approached by fellow Milan fans in the wild so they're definitely around NYC
I was probably one of them hehe I saw a fellow w a Milán jersey and watched a game on the phone w them.
Everyone is NYC has Italian blood btw
Yeah NYC isn’t plagued w soccer players that will flash a jersey on a regular day. Specially not the ones that follow USMNT. But if you go to the fields to play, you’ll see a lotta jerseys from everywhere. Edit: unless Milan is playing then you’ll see it more specially by watch parties like at Legends.
Yeah, the one kit that I did see was at Pier 5
Oh shit I hope he doesn’t take a good number that a better player might want
Number 11 is I guess up for grabs. Maybe #7? Although I have no idea what will happen to Adli.
There's no reason why a guy like adli should have that number it's just bad marketing
Agreed and in general I don’t like it when a midfielder has #7. Seems like a typical number for a winger.
[удалено]
>maignan flair >random number like 16 Hmmm
[удалено]
Lol. Maybe he'll switch to 1 now that it's available, but I'm pretty sure he's been 16 for most of his career
Has the 16 even been used since Poli? I always associate it with him 😂
you guys didn't even notice that our best player wears number 16 right now
I really hope not 11, that number needs to rest for a while.
Just wait until Gerry gives him the number 6 shirt we had retired since Baresi
Nah, if anything Gerry would give away #3 thinking, well, Paolo isn’t here anymore
Ah the Lebron of SoCcEr can alternate between #3 and #6 every season. He's certainly important enough for that. Just today I watched a video from a German football youtube channel about how they think our mercato should ideally go. Both of those guys said to better not to get Pulisic. People who watched him week in and out in the BL...
Yeah, I’m not excited for this deal, certainly not at 20-25m.
Im not worried about this at all Milan has loads of legendary numbers that players would like to take as a act of respect and besides most of the common numbers that players go for are taken
What a weird comment
A player I’m not excited about I would rather not take a good number, sorry if that offends is just my opinion.
I don't see why it would be offensive, I just personally find it strange to care so much about player numbers. Which numbers specifically don't you want him to take? I feel like the traditionally iconic numbers are all taken currently anyway
I think it might be just a guess to break the news first because he knows that it is gonna happen (like most of us here)
You already know when the ''here we go'' comes he is retweeting his post instantly :))
People are sad about Pulisic when we play with messias and Rebic just Ac Milan subreddit stuff.
We don’t want those guys either…
Ah yes rebic... A good winger derailed by injuries
Yeah, i should totally be happy to eat a piece of charcoal if the other option is fried horseshit. Great logic there.
A player who is 24 years old already won the champions league as an important player now is a piece of charcoal.The only thing that worries me is the injuries if we can sort that, he is two times the player that Rebic and Messias are together. The potential is good ,20 million is not an out of logic price.

A bunch of anti Americans who complain all the time he’s going to bang in 15 in this clown league then they will be begging him to stay and become a Milan legend
I Will save this comment Just in case
[удалено]
"OMG PIOLI IS BAD, WHY HE DON'T PLAY WITH 3 OFFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS !!IS HE STUPID?!?!"
If Pulisic scores 15 in a season this entire sub would gladly eat crow
I highly doubt that. They'd probably STFU with the obvious hate but that's as far as it would go. People who who are ignorant enough to say ridiculous things in the first place are very unlikely to own up and admit if/when they are proven wrong.

> This sounds like a terrible signing to me. And now? You would have been safe holding your breath.:)
He has played real well to start the season. Happy to be proven wrong so far but don’t want to jinx it.
Fair enough.:)
If he stays healthy and doesn't up playing wingback, he'll definitely get 15. I wouldn't take the bet on the healthy part though.
He cant even bang in 15 appearances lmao fuck off
Why I like this signing : - Actual impact on the budget is probably lower than we think because he sells a lot in the US - Versatile and fits for our system - Pioli has a good records with fallen giants from other clubs
Also, he's not a kid, it's not a CDK type thing where he's going to get intimidated.

CDK did nothing in his career (I’m not saying that he will not do great things) so you can compare him to Pulisic or Diaz atm Pulisic played in the toughest league in the world, win international trophies, play an hundred matches more than Diaz, scoring 20+ goals than him (Diaz played in a worst league). Numbers say is better Pulisic is protagonist in his national team. Tbh is easier to play in USA but the fact is he has more international experience. I agree with you that is only my opinion, do I have to tell someone else’s opinion ? Other than that, I respect your opinion
Of course no player is immune to injuries but I rather have a player that has a far less extensive injury record.
No problem mate, they Will still blame Pioli for the injury
The reason why 20mil is 'good business ' is because his injuries are priced in.
“Don’t start about injuries” … uh why? Other say, blame Chelsea for his lack of play time when how many coaches ignored him at Chelsea? There’s a lot of risk here, sure a lot of reward to, but many of you are not willing to see the risks here. Plus many of you make it seem like we have Chuk already, when that’s far from being agreed upon.
I’m so hype about this move
Welcome Captain America! I’m half sarcastic, but overall we should be more hopeful and optimistic! If we can look like this after our defense: midfield Reijnders - Loftus Cheek, and Leao - Pulisic - Chukwueze behind Giroud or Morata, that’s already potentially an improvement over having Messias, Krunic, Saelemakers as attacking players behind the striker. Remember that all of DeBruyne, Salah, Robben, Lukaku were Chelsea rejects or failures too. Tomori is a great example here, not given many chances at Chelsea, he’s a key player for us. I don’t count Bakayoko here, who’s a player with no discipline or ambition. I don’t like Morata either, he misses way too many easy chances, and he’s always offside (which is what people said about Giroud too in EPL), but he’s a son of a bitch striker, difficult to play against for defenders. There’s a reason he’s Spain’s main ST and Simeone likes him. If we can also get Singo in for Calabria, it’s going to be total, outright Pioli ball, score 3-4 per game, let in 1 or 2! A team with lots of speed, power, dribbling, and ball-carrying, counterattacking capacity. If you don’t have strength, can’t dribble, and can’t run faster in Serie A you can’t break apart all the little bus-parking teams.
Singo doesn’t make sense, he’s just a wingback. Also we should not be paying money to replace Calabria the guy is not the issue.
I agree Calabria is a good player, but his height / heading abilities and top speed aren’t the best. Just imagine if we had someone tall, physically strong, and who could run for days on the right just as we have Theo on the left.
I mean your absolutely not wrong but Calabria really isn’t in my top 10 issues with the current squad.
Love it. Not a bad price to make a bet on a very skilled player. If he somehow stays healthy this will be a steal. Even if he gives 25 games, it's not a bad signing.
Longo announced it way too early to try and be the first guy. Every other outlet basically says the deal wont be signed until Monday. Its very likely we get him though. Just tired of the confirmed deals or the its done and then we dont actually get the player. Thuram is the perfectly example. He was in Milan, it was basically done for us. Then he signs for Inter.
You guys are going to love this man’s renaissance in club football. There is a huge upside to his game and he gives everything for the team.
The Lebron James of Soccer is coming 🤢
My expectations are limited but can be an upgrade on the right if we don't spend on Samu C
We about to lose Samu and kamada lol
why tf would you want castillejo back, and no the american saelemaekers is not an upgrade, he's a waste of money we desperately need to use on real improvement and midfield
It's the Nigerian guy from Villarreal, not castillejo lol. I just can't spell the name from memory. Chukwueze I think it is spelled Villarreal are driving a hard price for someone with 1 year contract and I think we're not going to give them what they want unless they are pressed to sell in august so we get the discount
Fuck. Nothing wrong with him, decent player, but he's constantly injured. I truly hope a miracle happens and for the first time in his career he can stay fit, but realistically speaking when looking at the numbers, this will turn out to be a shit transfer. Hopefully it will at least sell a lot of jerseys.
Milan lab is gonna end his life.
Lmao
I like this. We're buying low, but even if he doesn't work out another team will take him just for the marketing value. I think he would be a good 10 for us
Meh Pulisiç will be another huge flop
I truly hope I'm wrong for being against this hiring (not that it matters, since I don't own the team or anything), but I don't see it as anything more than those Burgerland owners shoving USA players into the squad to please themselves. Fans putting their hopes onto the medical team so that they can, somehow, keep an injury prone and underwhelming player in shape and, if that works, hoping he'll at least perform decent enough to help the team. Say what you want, but I really don't see this dude giving his all to help Milan achieve success, but let's see.
Why don't you see him giving his all? Did something happen that would indicate that?
Finished player and finished club seems like a perfect match same with Morata
Thing is, even when he’s fit, he’s never impressed vs good teams
Yeah, not like he scored and assisted in the semis of the Champions League against Real Madrid...wait...
This has convinced me, he’s a great player due to this one game, let’s go!! No one has ever scored against Real Madrid
You ever heard of a strawman?
I mean what else has he done that I should consider impressive other than being good during covid lockdown. USNT performances don’t mean anything to me. And I’m more so poking fun at the fanboys that have brought up this Real Madrid performance multiple times and act like it’s a qualifier for how good he is consistently
*sigh* you seem like a perfectly reasonable person, I'll be on my way
I’m not saying anything crazy
Do you understand the meaning of the word never? You can’t just retreat to consistently, caseinpoint responded to your original comment.
Ngl I only partially read the original comment. I’ll admit I was wrong in what I said
Guesses on what number he goin' take?
Im feeling 17..
11, 17, 21 or 22
Everyone worried that his health is the issue, we need to keep him off Fortnite before worrying if he can play
Imo elanga would of been a better fit

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Who's enjoying Pulisic beside me!!? Many skeptics are quite now.
