Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted June 19 Popular Post Share Posted June 19 The thing I’ve always admired most about Barrenechea is that he isn’t called Weston McKennie. 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 7m or whatever extra for me doesn't offset the loss of Luiz and McKennie deal. It is what it is and we are working with the constraints but upon us but this is desperate. Anything else they can chuck in? A few bibs and balls?

thabucks Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Soule & Barrenechea plus €€€ for Luiz makes sense. Cannot see us signing both Dobbin & Iling jnr - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only imagine this means more money has to be paid by Juve (probably better for us maybe) as its taking out an established international for a relative youngster. At this stage would much prefer Hujisen or Soule but will trust Monchi and Unai to get who they like best from those being offered The only thing is that McKennie was relatively cheap because his contract expires next summer. If Barrenechea is on a longer contract Juventus might try and argue he worth a similar amount to a McKennie with only 12 months left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right. 36 games for them so was a regular, 0 goals so I assume he's a DM so could be a Kamara fill in while he gets fit. I'd rather that profile than McKennie when we've got better than him already in the box to box midfield role. 6ft 1 aswell so a bit more height for set pieces.

Pongo Waring Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 (edited) I'm excited for this signing! I think he will become a better player than Douglas Luiz and we will all be laughing in a few years time on what a great deal this was.

Barrenechea has barely played 50 games, whereas McKennie is an international footballer with 250 appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true Realistically PSR is ****ing us and we're taking what we can get to survive a points deduction whilst others can continue having debts of >£0.5bn We need to either redraft the whole package to one we like or hope another team starts making a more favourable offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Would basically replace Donk and Chambers in our squad full time with that profile. I'd be o.k with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKennie might not be everyone’s cup of tea but he’s an international footballer and would have added good depth to the squad. Barrenechea is 23 and has not even had any international youth caps never mind senior caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 It's getting ridiculous this deal now, their first offer was bad in the first place with Iling Jr + McKennie + a paltry 20m Euros but now they are not even giving us their regular starter. Fatty McKennie was not an inspiring signing but he had at least been a regular for them and was coming off the back of a good season. These two players have started about 5 games between them for Juventus. This guy might be a holding midfielder but he's not a starter for a top team, we'd still need to sign another holding midfielder anyway so it doesn't solve our issues. If we still can I'd like us to pull out of this deal and go and deal with a serious club, Juve are an absolute joke. Won't give us Soule or Chiesa so offering us their reserve players in exchange for one of our best players. They should just do one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
