I don't see an upside for them to sell him right now, baring a crazy large number. It just doesn't make any sense.

1. They are in the Champions League and look, they aren't going to win it, but they have a chance to get some wins and advance. That means more $$$$

2. They are in the race for the Eredivisie, again more money.

3. Pepi's value is only going up right now. Selling right now when he would command a lot more in the Summer would be foolish.

Damn. That really sucks. Never even saw a report prior to this that he was even hurt in the match.

I know the money will probably be too good to pass up, but I would really hate for him to go to the EPL. If he can be the #1 striker next year at PSV, there are not many better places to be for a young striker. 

I don't understand why some of you are so afraid of the PL. Why wouldn't Pepi do well there? And for $35M plus? You have to take that money. 

Like others have said, though, PSV is in no hurry to sell the kid.

It's a grinder compared to other leagues, especially if you're toward the bottom of the table like West Ham where he's not likely to get great service. All for not either way with his knee injury.

I get it - but sometimes that steel on steel is what makes players great.

I don't know if he would or wouldn't do well in the PL but I could see either outcome. 

 

Tangentially - looking like we might need ol' Joshy in the Nation's League. He and BV are our top 2 9s with Pepi and Flo out, correct?

I just have an issue with how the English are kind of slanted against American players. It's like 1 mistake and they are relegated to the end of the bench.

A lot of players also go to the EPL and are completely misused. See Jozy, who did himself no favors, but also went to a system that was not at all the right fit.

My guess is that it was a meniscus tear, because from the start they said:

• It wasn’t an ACL tear.

• He would be out 1-3 months.

• He would likely have surgery.

Any _CL tear starts with a timeline much longer than 1-3 months and any sprain wouldn’t require surgery. 

I am not a doctor, but I have two knees and follow sports.

CL and Serie A CP has played about 20 full 90s and has 17 goal contributions (10G, 7 assists).

That isn't including the Italian super cup where he had a goal in both games.

Holy shit, what a slaughter.

Goals for US @ minutes 2, 5, 8, 9, 13, 15, 19

7-0 before 20 minutes played.

Are they playing the USWNT?

How could they score that many in 20 minutes?
