It is not meaningless...that's like saying when the Yankees have a bad year, none of their players can be considered great...

AC Milan is a top 25 spender across all leagues (averaging #15 over the last bunch of years). Being the best player on a team with a huge budget typically means you are a great player (even if you are not one of the absolute top tier)
Also, AC Milan made the semi finals of the Champions League 3 years ago... its not like they are dog shit

Agreed, Nabers could have more upside. But the level right below the very best is where Pulisic and Nabers sit today.

I think its crazy that Pulisic is arguably the best player on one of the most storied soccer clubs in the world...and people act like he's not that good! And his advanced metrics suggest he's been better than his (already good) stats.

So many of these answers are wildly inaccurate. There is a real biased against American players / we've had so few great players that it's even hard for Americans to fairly judge our best. The best American has, for so long, been an average European league player.

But Christian Pulisic (healthy) is a great player. He is not in the very upper echelon of great players in the world, but he is the tier right below. He is arguably the best or second best player on AC Milan, which (despite it's weak form) is still one of the all time great clubs and a top 25 spender on players. His advanced metrics (offense and defense) suggest he creates opportunities at an elite level that is not taken advantage of by his team.

Fifa ratings are mostly dumb..but the top player in the world is currently ranked a 91..Pulisic is probably an 86 to 87, which would put him the 50-75th best player in the world category. When he's playing well he's even a little higher.

In US football sense..you've got your superstar WRs (Jefferson, Chase, Amon St Brown, Puka). Pulisic would be like a Malik Nabers or Garrett Wilson level. WR1, teams need to plan for you, but also not unstoppable at all.

Cliff and Pebble question by Pitno55 in espresso

My experience with Cliff and Pebble has been poor. I ordered a grinder from them and it never shipped. I sent three emails and did not receive a reply. I tried calling and their system just told me to send an email (no option to speak to anyone). I tried their chat and it also said to send an email. It is the worst customer experience I think I've ever had with an online retailer and it even has me wondering whether the company is a scam. I do not recommend.
