Spaghetti Weston: McKennie at Juventus

I don't want to see Wes at Atleti because then I would have to hate him.

I despise Diego Simeone the football manager. DESPISE

 

i mean the question is a bit silly. there are so many "goals" a team can have left with a few weeks in the season. Qualify for CL...win the cup...they don't have any other possible goals.

 

I’m picturing the confusion on the faces of Simeone, Atleti teammates and fans when Weston gets Casemiro water and helps him up after a bad foul…

I'll take things you love to see for $1000, Ken (or Miyam)!

RIP Alex...

 

I dunno,looks bigger,walking slow,obviously back to snacking and being lazy ...



/s

 

Too much ranch.

 

At this point he'd be back to help them move from 4th to 3rd. Juve is already in the next Champions.

 

Yeah... the only reason to bring him back early would be to win the cup. But I hardly think he would be ready by the 10th. Nah... I don't think we will see Wes until next season. Maybe with CP at his side? Would be pretty cool.

 

Three questions for Juve's sporting director:
1) How much will winning the Coppa Italia bring?
2) How much extra will winning it bring us if we're already in the CL?
3) How much will Wes being out until Xmas with a relapse cost?

One question for Juve's coach:
Will winning it make the difference between the board keeping an under-pressure coach on instead of sacking him?

The answers are pretty clear for both parties. So is the decision. We won't see him until pre-season.

 

Don’t forget the player’s perspective

 

Sure.

And the team doctor's too

 

Y'all can calm down, he wasn't called up for the Coppa final tomorrow. For me, if he wasn't ready for this game, he can shut it down for the final 2 league matches against Lazio and Fiorentina. Keep giving the minutes to the academy kid Miretti and let Wes get ready for holiday.

I hope he doesn't play any of the USMNT games this summer either, let the other CM's get the minutes and allow Wes to have his first full off-season in a while ahead of a huge 2022-2023.

 

Sadly, not this year ...

From last year ...

Wes is so clever. You see how he (intentionally I'm sure) sneaked into the middle of the frame for the trophy lift..... and then when Buffon stayed below the little stage, he jumped down to get right next to Buffon to maximize the video/photo op close ups.

Special kid, love his style and adventure. Hope he can stay healthy and just keep on, keeping on. We've had such crappy luck over the years. I hope the soccer Gods can protect this one.

 

Wes 20 minutes away from another Cup, as Juve lead 2-1...

 

Penalty call I hate against Bonucci - Bonucci standing behind Lautaro, Lautaro's leg gets trapped on Bonucci's as he winds up - dunno. VAR upholds it and the penalty is brilliant to make it 2-2, but would love to hear if others agree with the penalty call.

 

Minutes away from Inter winning it 4-2

 

First view, I thought it was a penalty. After watching it again and in slow motion, can't see how it is a penalty. If it is on De Ligt, that is very soft. If it is on Bonucci, he is just standing there and Lautaro hooks his foot on the inside of legs, can't call that. I can be called biased, and that may be accurate, but for me, no way a penalty.

 

Locatelli isn't very good.

 

McKennie returned to training for Juventus yesterday.

I hope to see Locatelli, Wes, and Miretti on the field together today. Miretti is a great passer of the ball for an 18 year old and isn't afriad to try ambitious passes. Wes loves making dangerous runs and Miretti has the ability to get him the ball in dangerous positions. I really hope this isn't Wes' last match with Juve, I think with a healthy and improved team next year, big things can happen for him and Juventus.


It has been pretty widely reported that Paul Pogba will be re-signing with Juventus on a Bosman. I don't know how the balance will work, but I really like the idea of a 3-man midfield consisting of Pogba, Locatelli, and Wes.
