Jonesy7211 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 If he does come, does he get us more attention in the lucrative US market? Are they bothered where their international players play their club football? If so I'm all for it. We need more exposure. If not, then I can only hope we'll be bringing in better later on in the window and this lad is help improve the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted June 11 Moderator Share Posted June 11 On a serious note - I think it's more likely we're seeing him as a supplement to Kamara than a replacement for Dougie. And if you think of it like that, it makes a lot more sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 McKennie and Tielemans would definitely be the fattest midfield in the league. He's got ability, but the old stories about him going out and partying are really concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you think of it like that, it makes a lot more sense. thing is tho, he isnt a 6, many have said that the reason he tanked at Leeds is because Tyler Adams got injured and McKennie was asked to play a lot of games at 6 and it doesnt suit him, a bit like luiz tbh. McKennie is more of a Luiz type than a Kamara type i think. from what i have read/seen, McKennie is more of an 8, or an 8/10, and not a 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with a World Cup coming in 2 years time it would be a big help for us to have a marketable US star in our team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 He looked well out of his depth in the PL last time around but Unai can spin straw into gold. Funny how he will end up here now having been linked constantly for the last 6 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 McKennie’s recent interviews show a far more humble and reflective attitude. He’s shown real aptitude for Juve. He will arrive with a point to prove and brings plenty of experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not pretending I know more than the people in charge at the club, anyway. Just saying it's interesting preparation for a CL campaign. Getting rid of our best CM (and arguably best player) for two players who have struggled before in the Prem. It's difficult to see this as moving forwards.

Plus the PSR/FFP fix, plus a high-potential youngster. Quality over quantity. It it's an FFP fix we needed, then I'd rather have just taken the money. When I've watched him before in this league, he wasn't good enough. Will still support him if he joins and I'm the first to admit I get a lot wrong (I was against the Archer/Ramsey sales, I wrote off McGinn and Watkins, etc, etc) - but just going off what PL football I've seen. Douglas Luiz is a level above both Barkley and McKennie. We've gone backwards in CM if this materialises (in my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Can’t say I recall seeing him play, so reserve judgement until I see what Emery can do with him. Let’s not forget people thought Tielemans was rubbish when he first played for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
