vazquez Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Poor deal, two squad options on high salaries and loose one of your best players for peanuts. Still dont believe it before I see it on AVFC official. Monchi goes down in valuation if this is true. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Quote "I can think of no more improbable story than the American midfielder transforming himself into a crucial player for this team. McKennie has gone from a flop at Juventus to a flop at Leeds to a defensive bastion back at Juventus. His ability to play wingback on the right or as a midfielder is extremely valuable with Allegri and the current roster. "McKennie’s aerial presence is helpful on both sides of the ball, and we’ve seen glimpses in the past (as well as on the U.S. men’s national team) of some creative playmaking abilities, but right now this team needs him to be a force defensively, and that’s exactly what he’s doing. He’s contributing defensively without a lot of flash; this is exactly the type of player you want on your team, the glue."

Steero113 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I heard that he can only play between August and October and then March to May. Something about being from America and having a warmer than usual body? 1 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. It was one of the complaints about Europe last season that our players were maybe too inexperienced for European games Not saying best idea but could be something club looked at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacks no inspiration, no excitement. Very dull and there’s many other USMNT players better than him. I’ll take Yunus Musah every day of the week and twice on Sunday over him. Yet McKennie got 16 more starts than him last season when the clubs just finished 4 points apart Musah has talent for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Yunus might be one for the future and is probably better in the middle third of the pitch compared to McKennie. But McKennie has more impact in the attacking and defensive third. Again - it’s a silly comparison to Luiz but they will continue nonetheless.

We shouldn’t be signing him, nor is he even remotely near the levels of Luiz. If he was “so good” for Juve, why are Juve so happy to get rid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 Why do people keep framing it as Juventus being desperate to get rid of him, they aren't, they offered him a new deal, and he turned it down. They know more want to sell him than we want to sell Luiz 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
