Pulisic has already bested that in a tougher league.
18 year old A has 43 appearances, 5 goals, and 11 assists in the Bundesliga
18 year old B has 23 appearances, 1 goal, and 2 assists in ligue 1 and Serie A
How can you really argue that Coman was better at 18?

Was CP playing at his club at 16?

By this logic, Freddy Adu is the greatest player of all time.

But the whole crux of your argument is that CR7 was on a better path then because of what he accomplished AFTER his 18th birthday and that is downright stupid considering you can't do the same for Pulisic.
At 18 CR7 was bought for the highest transfer fee for teenager ever.

What? When did Freddie adu play in one of the big 4 leagues at age 16?
Posted on 3/27/17 at 10:01 pm to Rickdaddy4188
At age 18
Messi 05-06 for Barcelona: 25 appearances, eight goals
Cristiano 03-04 for Manchester United: 40 appearances, six goals
Pulisic 17-18 for Dortmund: 29 appearances (so far), four goals. And as a little extra, he has eight assists.
I'd say the Pulisic hype train is justified man

Your logic is flawless. I bend the knee.

Is one sub in the 87' really "playing"?

That's only the PL. I think Antonio Cassano and Javier Saviola went for higher fees in 2000 and 2001 respectively.

Never said he was overrated or didn't deserve praise. He is a great player with very few holes in his game. His only real weakness is size and he will fill out more as he gets older. Like I said earlier, he has that special touch where it seems the ball is never off his foot unless he chooses for it to be off his foot. He has great touch in traffic. Lots of players have great touch when they have space. What separates good and great ball controlled players is the ability to keep possession in traffic.

But there is just NO WAY he could be a top 10 player at some point, huh?

That was in reference to CP being a top 10 player in the world.
I also wasnt being a smart arse. I was agreeing that the coman comparison doesnt hold up.

The odds that he will never be a top 10 player in the world are huge.
It was my opinion.

As is the case for every player, but Pulisic is in a better spot to reach that than most 18 year olds currently in world soccer.

Id say Dembele has a better chance than CP but sure he has a chance. I shouldn't have given an absolute.

He also has a better chance than most.

Except Dembele isn't 18... actually, he turns 20 in 6 weeks.

Debatable. I haven't seen anyone but Americans saying CP has a chance to be a top 10 player in the world.
But like I said,I shouldn't have dismissed it as impossible.
