    Chelsea have signed Borussia Dortmund forward Christian Pulisic for 64m euros (£58m), but will loan him back to the German club until the end of the season

    Madness,

    That’s what Liverpool did with Keita.

    He’s turned out to be boss. 0 goals, 0 assists £70m.

    We have a whole thread on the subject on our board... that £600 is a VIP package that comes with 4 tickets, 3 course meal for 4 in the restaurant, kit for the kid(s) and other memorabilia ... you already have to have been selected as a mascot (which is I think free - but the waiting list is heavily over subscribed) before you can opt for the VIP package...

    This has been an 'Interception before Bobby ends up making a twat of himself ... again' broadcast on behalf of the Divvy Chav Protection League <cheers>

    It was probably a pre condition of signing him.

    So it’s for the kids of rich fans. Understood.

    So you can be the mascot and not opt for VIP package?

    Kid walks on holding that mutant Vardy's hand then gets kicked out with no kit, no ticket and no dinner as the family couldn't afford the £600

    What? ... the signing, the cost, or the loan back?

    Good signing for me and the loan back was likely a stipulation by Dortmund as they have a real good chance of the title this season and their fans would have been raging to lose one of their best players ...

    Plus his contract was up in June 2020 <cheers>

    The VIP package? ... possibly ... or a treat that has been saved for ... but the majority of mascots will not have opted for VIP packages ... personally I'd rather my kids had such a memorable day rather than spending a fortune on trainers or phones ... but each to their own ... <cheers>

    Good young player, Pulisic. Not sure he’ll be ready to replace Hazard in the summer though. Doesn’t always start for Dortmund and Sancho’s emergence probably made it easy for them to sell.

    Yup. Happy with him as we need a tricky winger (and blooding hudson more). Dortmund still have plenty of good wingers and pulisic is within 2 years of his contract so it makes sense for them to sell.

    Hazards probably off but tbh i think hazard should be a false 9 for us not a winger so i dont really see it as his replacement

    For £600, the lucky kid gets to keep Charlton!
