Such is my unwavering faith in King Unai and the team that I’d trust them even if they signed Scott Hogan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're taking an unnecessarily big risk IMO. One of our best players for a prospect and a guy who flopped in PL before. That is some punt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioVilla Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 1 hour ago, trillvillan said: But what I was initially referring to was he’s naturally accustomed to warmer temperatures and his fast twitch muscles fibers are that of a naturally warmer climate - he’s just one of those athletes. It happens. It’s happened to other players in the past and they can’t adapt to the Prem and its hectic lifestyle. Again, McKennie is one of those types. I can get into further detail but most still wouldn’t understand. Same goes for you. In the literature that you provided, no where was it stated that some athletes are predisposed to being "more cold" than others. Furthermore, in the academic study you provided: Quote Occasional sports exposed to colder air environments: These sports or activities are primarily non-winter sports but have occasional inclement weather situations that are terrestrial based, which might affect performance and health. These sports would include soccer, American football, cross country running, orienteering, cyclocross, ultra-endurance running/cycling events on trails, and marathon canoeing. In these sports/activities, the primary consideration would be to enhance performance in cool environments to extreme heat environments, however, due to climatic events or scheduling of competitions in cold weather regions of the world these sports might face unexpected cold exposure. For these sports, the recommendations, would be to increase the amount of protective clothing that is employed pre-competition, have additional clothing than normal for in competition, and ensure that the competitors maintain increased coverage of skin to reduce the convective, conductive, and radiation cooling. Given that these competitors are not habituated to cool or cold weather, preparation could include cold water immersion and increased preparation period in the new environment. Where appropriate education of coaches and athletes on the influence of cold environments on muscle temperature and cold related injury should be provided by competition organizers, and practitioners/support staff. It's a fixable/preventable by using more clothing and prep work. TL/DR, at this level, there is no reason to believe that McKinnie being a "warm blooded Texan" has anything to do with any potential mishaps in performance or something that cannot be fixed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we really saying that if PSR wasn't a thing this deal would be happening? If we weren't selling luiz to juve would we be buying McKennie?

Mark Albrighton Posted June 11 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11 However important and urgent the need to meet PSR, I genuinely don’t think Unai signs off on any deal he isn’t content with. In practice it’s probably not too dissimilar to the Duran deal. I recall that was in the works for some time and by the time it was becoming a possibility, Unai is in charge and gives it the go ahead to proceed. Probably not his absolute dream purchase, but it also ain’t happening without his blessing. I think Unai thinks he can work with McKennie. Who knows, we may see another quick increase in player valuation like Duran and sell after a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we actually replace Luiz I think it’s fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
