I have heard that when he was playing for Staines Town he was recommended by manager Marcus Gayle to Jason Euell who was coaching one of the youth sides at Charlton.

Left-Footed, I have heard him being described as "Very unorthodox" but this was a few years ago.

Parish has come out and stated the obvious threat if Conor or RLC where available then we’d want them. My concern is if we were given the slightest indication that both the player and Chelsea were willing to do business, this is no quick transfer and how much risk does it put on our whole summer plans if it goes to the wire or falls through later on.

We managed our window really well last summer with multiple options but I’d hate to miss out on other key targets because of the tiniest glimmer of hope of signing him.

If I were CG I'd be wary of how much match time Tuechel would be willing to give me. Tuechel seems to have little regard for Pulisic, whose strengths align with Conor's: effort, energy, and a competitive spirit that elevates the play of his teammates.

The problem is he has to dance to Chelsea's tune, because he has another 3 years left on his contract, he will play in all of Chelsea's pre-season games while he is assessed by Tuchel, at that stage we could have missed out on a player, waiting for something that isn't going to happen.

Agree.

The only way I can see it materialising is if Chelsea don't let him go, he wastes away somewhat on their bench for half a season then both parties agree to a short loan back to us before finally selling him on.

Let's hope RLC lessons have been learnt all round. Would Chelsea want to hold on to yet another player who may not exactly fit with what they want/need or fails to break into the first team? Does the player want to try his chances at Chelsea or even elsewhere where he may not succeed and fall into relative obscurity? Or, would both Chelsea and CG realise that he has it made at Palace in any instance and can at least establish his career here before inevitably 'moving on'?

Whatever happens I wish him all the best and would suggest like many he will always have a special place in my red and blue heart! Of course it would be incredible to sign him full time but I think that's wishful thinking from us right now. You never know

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
