I've followed the academy since Sancho has been there and this was never a consensus.

The likes of Foden, Brahim and Sancho were considered the 'special' players in the class.

Ah okay, misunderstood.

And yeah, he's been hyped on that front for a good while.

This much is obvious but I'm convinced at this point that you would root for England over the US in a World Cup fixture.

Pulisic needs to either step up or move on. The competition will ultimately be good for him. I have faith he will rise above.

In the premiere league Pulisic is a mid-table start every game impact player, and essentially a super-sub for the last 15 min of a match for a big six club.

He’s a bench player now for Dortmund (and really not even a first option anymore) having first lost his spot to Sancho, and now Bruun Larsen.

The best thing for him, and the USMNT, is if he went to a mid-table EPL club and played the full 90 every game. However, his skill set, his hype and the fact that he’s American means he will end up at a big club, but be a bench player there as well. Only getting minutes in meaningless cup games, or end of matches.

Sancho might be a star but the important thing for Pulisic is that he develops. He's still only 20. He has the technical ability. It takes a long time for players like Pulisic to develop. Sancho is precocious, most definitely, but there are still other places Pulisic can play even with Sancho on the field. Pulisic's end product has let him down this season. He's still a good player.

Oh I agree. I think he’s the best American player we’ve ever had, and will be a driving force for the NT for the next 10+ years. I just don’t think he’s going to be a major Euro club impact player anytime soon, which means he is going to be on the bench when he should be playing every game at his age...even if that means with lesser than sides.

Yea he will be fine at Dortmund, just needs a run of matches. A good manager is going to find a way to make all that attacking talent they have work.

Him staying at Dortmund is much better for this development than playing in England.

He'll be a top four player in any league, as his dribbling is superb. Developing a final product is pretty much the last thing to develop for wingers. Again, Sancho is precocious in this regard, but lots of wingers don't develop until their mid-20's. Pulisic still has lots of time.

His career has Donovan written all over it except he won't do shite at a world cup.

Look for him in the MLS in 2-3 seasons after failing in England or moving down to some shitty German side.

RIP USMNT.
