Then why did you say them? You didn't watch Martial or Depay at 18 either did you? I'm 100% sure you didn't watch Rooney or CR7 either at that age.

Again, he is a great player.

Ok guys I'm really done now. Love yall.


I shouldn't have dismissed his chance at being a top 10 player in the world.
I apologize.

I shouldn't have listed some players that clearly werent on a better path at age 18 than CP.
I apologize.

CP is a wonderful player.

You shouldn't have listed players who you never watched just because they were teenagers.

So, basically, your entire argument that went on for 10 pages was woefully false.

Congrats.

You also thought, wrongly, that CR7 was the most expensive teenager at the time of his transfer

aldo became Manchester United's first-ever Portuguese player when he signed before the 2003–04 season. His transfer fee of £12.24 million made him, at the time, the most expensive teenager in English football history.


Read the link again. It says English football history. Cassano and Saviola went for more. It's like you are autistic.

So it doesn't say he can be a top 10 player in the world?
If an 18 year old is in the top 15 of a list of best U23/U21 players, I'd say there's definitely the potential that he could be a top 10 player in the world one day.

Yes in the entire history of soccer there hasn't been 10 players on a better path at age 18 than CP.
Are you guys really believing that shite?

I'm still waiting on someone to link an article that says CP is on some unheard of path at age 18.

Good god man, how many times do we have to tell you that's not what we're arguing. To quote Rick daddy, "How dense are you?"

Hell CP may not even be the best 18 year old on his own team.

The only other 18 year old close to Pulisic on that team is Passlack, but he only rarely appears for Dortmund. Again you are speculating about things you know nothing about while calling everyone else here ignorant.

Aubamayeng

Müller
Verrati

If I extended to 20
Boateng
Bonnuci
Kante
De Gea
Neuer
Hazard
Alexis
Griezzman
Godin
Kroos

Hard to leave out Naiingolan, Vidal, Mertens, Higuain but it has to end somewhere

I think the most underrated player on the planet is Antonio Valencia and I say that as a staunch united hater. The guy is just rock solid and fricking rapid

Better than what CP did.

This is just objectively not true. Are you trolling us or are you legitimately this dumb? People have posted his stats from this year several times in the thread already. They are better than Coman's.

Debatable. I haven't seen anyone but Americans saying CP has a chance to be a top 10 player in the world.

Are you American? Because you say this with some certainty as if nobody from any other country thinks he has top 10 potential. Are you some expert on soccer opinions around the world?

Hint: it is rare enough that it is a big deal when it happens.

My friend in Germany, who is a massive Borussia Dortmund fan, says the German media is going nuts about Pulisic. The fact that he is already so composed and mature at his age just astounds people.

He's already admitted in the thread that he didn't watch these players at 18. He just looks at them today and assumes they were better then than Pulisic is now. That's paraphrasing his own admission in this thread.

That's literally what we're working against, boys. It's a level of stupid that can't be beat.

Cut your losses and make a new account without making comments that you can't back up. I agree with some of your statements, but honestly it was so jumbled and you were so defeated it was hard to take you seriously towards the end. and good luck on the new alter
