The loss that really hurt is DeBrunye. This team would have been insanely stacked w him.
I expect well see a lot more state side Chelsea fans now w WC in the near future and Pulisic emerging as a legit player in EPL.

Imagine KdB on the squad now? Crazy to think Chelsea had young KdB, Lukaku, and Salah and let them all go.

We have other potential ones with Reyna and if we’re praying enough Sergeant or Weah! Taking Pulisic further away from goal will only hurt his development on the wing for the US. Let’s hope it’s not a permanent thing.

They played Pulisic at WB in a recent friendly, and sounds like it didn't go that well (unsurprisingly). His injury issues have definitely hurt his stock, especially now that the attack is so stacked - Werner will probably now move into Pulisic's preferred spot on the left, so it will be interesting to see how Tuchel uses him this year.
