  1. I just read that Pulisic is unhappy and is looking to be loaned out. It could be great to get more opportunities to see the field but part of me wishes he would stay and experience, what I think will be, a great season at Dortmund with the Champions League and possibly challenging for the title again. I guess I’m kind of torn about it.
