Where would you like to see Christian Pulisic transfer to?

For the sake of argument, let's assume returning to dortmund isn't an option.
What club/coach would he benefit the most from in terms of player development? The two most recently speculated clubs are United & Liverpool (they've been after him from the start). I think United would be a bad move, and Mourinho would do nothing for him. Liverpool is more intriguing, and he's probably a better fit in Klopp's system. Selfishly I'd like to see him at Tottenham, but I also think he'd fit in well there with Pochettino.
Also, would you mind seeing him at a "lower tier" club if that meant he was able to play as more of a center mid? I think this is where he would prefer to play instead of out wide, but his unique speed and attacking ability almost certainly has him playing out wide wherever he ends up. I just think so far this season at Dortmund he's had a tendency to get lost in stretches out wide, not dropping inside enough to get more touches and create.
Ultimately I just want to see him in the starting 11 every game, developing, making a difference and hopefully winning (which is why Dortmund is probably his best option and why he will stay), but I am certain I'll become an instant fan of whatever club he ends up at...even if that means United.

None of these
But you analysis is a little off
CP work rate and pace would work just fine in United's counter attacking system and he would defend when asked too. United has a stellar track record buying young talent and having them excel.
He would work in Klopps system but he wouldn't push out any of their attacking players. That and Liverpool's track record buying young under 22ish talent or promoting youth hasn't been stellar for the most part, other than Cou of late.
Spurs once again system is fine but who does he push out.

For him to progress he def needs to go to a mid table side and see the field.
But that's a lateral move at best from Dortmund.

Yeah, because Mourinho has been soooooo bad for United’s young players.
I’d much rather him stay in Germany than go to England.

Is there a better side than Liverpool for the type of player he is + development? Call me biased but I don’t see one out there. He’s tailor made for the way Klopp wants to play. Between his ability on the ball, directness, and defensive work rate there isn’t a better match for him. Klopp doesn’t really play with a #10 but he could be dynamite in the “inverted winger/#8” role left vacant by Coutinho. A guy that plays wide but is expected to drift towards the middle to create chances and score goals. I think he’d play more at LFC than MU because Klopp isn’t going to bench a guy for a month because he had a mental lapse defensively. The track record is there with Klopp when it comes to grooming young players. It’s a match made in heaven that would benefit the player and the club.
BvB is a team without direction right now and a far cry from the free flowing heavy metal football of past teams.
Unfortunately, for the price he will cost I think there are better options out there right now. Not to say Pulisic won’t be a top 15 player in the world one day, but there are better players right this second that will be cheaper. For that reason I’m not sure we’ll ever see him in a Liverpool shirt. I think if we were willing to overpay then Lemar would be at Liverpool today.

He would have trouble getting consistent playing time at City but I'd love for Pulisic to learn under Pep.

Yea your bias is showing.
Klopp at Liverpool barley even plays academy kids.

We only had 3 of those guys on the pitch for that destruction of city last weekend.
Andy Robertson, Emre Can, Raheem Sterling, Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold
Don’t let facts get in the way of a good spin

United has a much better record with youth and to argue otherwise is insane.
CP is a United fan anyway

Hold on, since when is a one goal win a destruction?
What should I call the match where City won 5-0?

How is any of that relevant to the incorrect point you made that I refuted? Are you counting Paul Pogba as a united youth academy success story? Who are these youngsters getting consistent runs at United?

You and I both know the final score wasn’t indicative of the way the match played out. It was the equivalent of a few Hail Marys late in the 4th to make a score respectable.
