I'll be surprised if we spend less than £100 million. We are making great strides all the time and nothing about our board makes me think they'll say "mid table! That'll do!".

Be great if we could get him for under $30m.
Yes, I'd forgotten all those titles that Everton and Fulham won, silly me.Just because you say they're small fry, doesn't make it so. The Premier League is the most popular league worldwide, people are drawn to success, and Chelsea are one of its most successful teams.If Clint Dempsey had won multiple Premier League titles at Fulham, they'd be hugely popular in America.
Pulisic has won how many European titles and PL titles with Chelsea?Like I said, Chelsea could dominate the world ( which they won’t ) and they still wouldn’t scrape the surface of American viewers compared to others, Club Americas in Southern California are just one.

Mainly due to games kicking off around 8am but also the language/heritage. Ultimately Barca, Madrid, Athletico and the champions League were all the locals cared about.

Fair enough, I was using "America" to refer to the country USA, as per the common colloquial usage, as opposed to the continental landmass.
It's a fair point. I was talking about a player from USA but, still, I have long thought that the demonym "American" lacked precision but there isn't really an alternative for describing someone from that nation. USA-ian?
Regardless, I think we've no chance of signing Pulisic. Sadly. He's class.
