People just said that he is not at the level of the biggest stars in the game and would not be needed at Real Madrid or Barcelona at this time when they have other great young players. He is listed as the 8th U21 which is already great but when you start adding 22, 23, 24, 25 year old players which is his direct competition, his number will drop drastically. On that list Mbappe would crack the overall top 20 (maybe 10) list and Jesus the top 30. Rashford should not be ahead of Jesus. America's best player, absolutely. Real Madrid and Barcelona level? Not yet, let's see how he develops.

#8 in the WORLD of U21. Watch German news and see what they think of him. Answer: very highly. Signed, US Expat in Germany

If you are listed in the top 10 with Rashford, Jesus, Mbappe and co. and at a $72 million rate, I think you are pretty f*cking good. What more do you want for a 19-year old?

Look, he is outstanding no doubt about it. Just to make it to his current level is very impressive. In the other post people were making it seem like he was ready for Real Madrid or Barcelona level teams. He isn't. He is an outstanding young player. I don't need to just watch German news to know he is very good, I watch his games and follow many other multi national soccer media outlets that think highly of him and most will tell you that the best place for him right now is at Dortmund. I have a global perspective of the game, not just what I read on local news or when the world cup comes around. The argument was that he was not at the level of an elite player/team yet. The key word in my statement is yet. He could certainly develop into that.

You are completely jumping the gun. The statement says that he is one of the top 10 most highly valued players U21 in the entire world. Nowhere is stated that he should immediately leave Dortmund, nor did pp suggest that. He and his family have repeatedly sung the praises of Dortmund and credit them for where he is today. He is still developing there AND, contrary to your knowledge, many Clubs around the World have cited keen interest in him--including Liverpool. Keen interest in him does not indicate in any way, shape or form that he has keen interest in THEM right now.

This thread came about from one of the other threads where the claim was made that he was set to join an elite club and that he was at a higher level than Ronaldo because he had a couple more Champions League game by 19. He is not at that level. What are you talking about contrary to my knowledge. As I mentioned he is rated in other places but from a development perspective it's still best for him to stay at dortmund 1 maybe 2 more years. Man U also showed interest and so do other bigger clubs. It's their job to be interested in everyone that is up and coming and that's why they have large scouting departments. He is a player to watch absolutely.

And he hugged a kid that ran onto the field to prevent him from being forcibly dragged off by stewards.

Saw the penalty kick and his 2nd goal was amazing. He had several other close calls. Without his 2 goals it would have been a draw.

I read they wanted him as Man of the Match, but since the Cup is sponsored by Heineken they couldn't use anyone under 21. Pulisic is still just 19.

To the guy who keeps arguing with me that Big Clubs don't want him yet---directly from Klopp's mouth:

Previewing the meeting with his former club, Klopp admitted he was a big fan of Pulisic, whom he tried to sign for Liverpool in August 2016, and the coach was equally impressed after the match.
"I didn't see anything new, just that he's a bit older and has new tattoos!" Klopp said of the 19-year-old postmatch on Sunday. "He's a fantastic skilled boy, and it's not a surprise to see.

"He's a smart player, and unfortunately the USA needs more of these players. He alone cannot do it all.
"Don't put too much pressure on the boy, hopefully you can have a few more of them and then play very successful soccer in the future. If Belgium and Iceland can go to a World Cup then so can the USA. I think he'll be fine."

The announcers call him the "master of a finisher".

Here's the link with video of his 2 goals:

Klopp also agreed that in this time and place he's in a really good Club. I don't think anywhere would allow him to develop and give him the opportunity to premier as young as he did for the First team as Dortmund. Given his trajectory and how he's progressed--I do agree he is the best place currently.

First of all, he’s already at a Big Club. Secondly, Klopp praised him, he didn’t make an offer for him. Thirdly, Liverpool is still not one of the elite clubs at present like Real, Barcelona, Bayern or Juve. I love Pulisic, but the point still stands. Let him develop. He’s tearing up the ICC, after all...
