The whispers on Twitter last night were about Juventus interest in Christian Pulisic, and on ESPN’s FC show former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf laughed off the idea that the Old Lady would be interested in the out of favour winger.
He’s right that Pulisic has largely disappointed since moving to Chelsea. There’s always the sense that he’s about to do something great, but after a few years, you start to lose the belief that anything’s going to happen at all.
Perhaps a fresh start will help, or perhaps he’s just an inconsistent player who doesn’t really excel at anything after losing a year of pace. We’ve seen Juventus make some pretty poor transfers in recent years however, so we may yet convince them with a temptingly low asking price.
Whatever happens, we can now officially call the whole Pulisic era a bad one. With the exception of a couple of months and games here and there, he never gave us what we wanted.
