There has been some talk of him "plateauing" this season. Haven't watched any of him this year to know if that is accurate though.Wut?

For the money Chelsea is paying for him, they evidently must absolutely see him as a starter and big contributor. They aren't paying 64m EUR for a project or a guy who might be good.
Has an American ever been a key piece for a top flight European club before - i.e., been a key piece during a big club's championship run? I'd love to see it, and the USMNT needs about 7 more players of his quality at different positions.

That's a good point. Also thinking a lot of American fans will make Chelsea "their team" too. Even if you're already a fan of another EPL team, it is going to be hard as an American to hate Chelsea with the Golden Boy playing for them.They will make 64m EUR multiple times over with just memorabilia sold in the US alone. He may or may not be worth that much on the pitch but he will pay off for the Club.

I won’t have any problem hating Chelsea, I’ll cheer for him when he plays for Team USA.That's a good point. Also thinking a lot of American fans will make Chelsea "their team" too.
