Former Three Lions’ manager Sam Allardyce has opined on Chelsea’s acquisition of Christian Pulisic this winter. The Blues signed the American in January but loaned him back to the Ruhr outfit for the rest of the season.

This hasn’t gone down well with Allardyce, who claimed that he is “staggered” because he can’t fathom how Chelsea allowed such a thing to happen. He believes that the Blues paid a lot of money and instead of risking him get injured at Dortmund, they should have brought him instantly.

"I am staggered and shocked. What if he does an ACL over there?”

"You invest that much money and then you have the settling in period... next season, who knows, he might come in and struggle," he said.

It seems as though Big Sam loves making mountains from molehills.
