Pulisic is off to Chelsea... this from Pearce, on why we didn't go back fro him..

The reality is that Liverpool haven't seriously considered a move for Pulisic since they bought Shaqiri for £12.5million last summer.

The Swiss attacker was the Pulisic alternative and he was snapped up at an absolute bargain price. Pulisic is still more potential than proven quality having scored 15 goals in 115 games for Dortmund.

The size of the fee was also prohibitive. Liverpool wouldn't buy a squad player for £58million and they certainly wouldn't pay that for a squad player who had less than 18 months remaining on his contract.

Klopp happily left the way clear for Chelsea to swoop.

Working from home provides me the luxury to watch any and all televised Liverpool matches.

FSG has been spending wisely and balancing the books. They wouldn't pay £57 million for Pulisic. Shaq was a steal at £12 million in comparison. Much better player at this point as well. If they offered a straight swap of Pulisic for Shaq I wouldn't take it. I love that little cubed bastard.

There’s plenty of ways to solve that besides spending 58 mil on what is certainly a backup as things stand

Of course I love CP and would be ecstatic if he played for LFC but it makes way more sense to spend big money on someone like Werner who could get regular playing time and then let Edwards/Klopp do what they’ve been doing best the last few years and find quality players under the radar for a good price to address squad depth

Not to mention Camacho.

Appears to be on his way to Sporting Lisbon on loan.

Sturridge made what appeared to be a farewell tweet today as well.

I'm ok not spending on Pulisic, though I hate the fact I'll now pull for Chelsea when they aren't playing Liverpool. Seems like an obvious tell that Hazard is on his way out.

Seeing more and more reports linking us to Rabiot, and though I'd welcome him to the squad, it sure makes for a crammed midfield of Fabinho, Keita, Wij, Milner, Hendo, Lallana and Shaq. Unless he can play CB too.

I'm okay not buying Pulisic... we don't have unlimited funds.. It's impossible to say, without knowing what our plans are for this window and the summer, for that position and other positions..

There is def a lot more value out there, in his position, if you only take into account talent..

I'd be happy to spend FSG's money and give Barcelona around £30-35M for Malcom.

I had to work an early morning shift at work, so I was supposed to be off, but now I have to pop back in from 1:30-3:00... But will only be tied up from 2:30-3:00, So I'll be able to catch most of it (I was not happy about this decision

Have a good feeling about this one. City have to try to play on the front foot today and they're doing it with John Stones at right back. He can't keep up with Sadio and Robbo all day

none of them being decent in the final third

Milner can play a final ball. Klopp knows that City have to go for 3 points today, he's opted for the steady heads in the midfield. This same lineup blitzkrieged their way to the champions league final last season with Karius in goal.
