Our Liverpool fans here in the Transfer Tavern are like a kid in a candy shop, with the Philippe Coutinho money burning a big hole in their pockets. Indeed, while the Brazilian will be missed, there’s nothing quite like a whole load of money during the January window.
Klopp must be hell-bent on trying to bring in a replacement for the departed Coutinho, so a trip back to his former club, Borussia Dortmund for their star player makes perfect sense. Pulisic is the golden boy of the United States and at just 19-years-old our barman feels he has a very bright future ahead of him.
Liverpool are currently locked in a battle with rivals Man United for the signature of the young midfielder, though United’s reasoning to bring the American to the Premier League may be more of a marketing angle.
Indeed, our Liverpool fans in the pub feel that under Klopp’s guidance, Pulisic could really develop as a player under the German’s trademark style of play.
Our landlord there are two key reasons why Pulisic should be choosing Anfield over Old Trafford this winter window…
Development under Klopp

While Pulisic is by no means the finished article yet, he still has the abundance of talent needed to succeed. He seems in a similar mould to a Coutinho that joined the Reds five years ago, not quite ready to play in the number 10 role and dominate matches but happy to play out on the wing to learn his trade for the next few seasons.
He has all the creativity to play just behind the front men in the future, but under Klopp’s guidance, Pulisic could be a world beater in years to come.
The chance to shine
If a move to United was to develop, it would mean a major marketing campaign and a lot of press for the youngster. In a bid to continue his upward trajectory, Pulisic may opt for the lower key move to Liverpool.
Sometimes a player can become overwhelmed with price tags and attention, which deems them a flop when they don’t turn out the way everybody anticipates. Alongside the fact, United already have many a youngster in the first team at present all vying for the same spots. A move to Liverpool will encourage Pulisic to thrive and shine under the Anfield spotlights.
