This is basically a summary of much of what has been already posted here: https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co...of-weston-mckennie-deal-with-juventus-4005837
I predict McKennie is going to make a huge impact. It will be interesting to see how quickly he adjusts, as he has played in Germany and Italy. First he's got to get into the starting lineup. Adams is a lock. Do you play Wes in Roca's position as a dual DM? Does he take Aaronson's place at CM in a 4-2-3-1? Will he spell Jack Harrison? I think ultimately he sends Aaronson to the bench. We'll see. He'll probably share time with Aaronson for a while and gradually take the starting role away from him.
I'm done. The subject came up, but I should have passed on it. It's probably my favorite subject in life, so forgive me. Back to football.
I sort of wonder if they’ll switch to more of a 4-3-3 with McKennie, Adams, and Roca. The downside being less playing time for Aaronson. I think he can help Leeds a ton, I just don’t know that his best spot is where Roca plays in their 4-2-3-1.
I'm not much of a Who fan, but unless WM comes here and says he's a Who fan, I'm not sure that thread title feels all that on point. Not that the other Leeds threads are any better. He's reportedly passed his medical - so unless he pulls a Claudio, we may need to add him to the PBP thread.
Leeds had Kappa a few years back iirc. I’d have considered a kit if they still had Kappa. Adidas kits are mostly all fugly.
Go West Yorkshire, young man: Weston Mckennie at Leeds United (olf Juventus) "Go Weston Yorkshire" also works, but felt like a pun too far
Leeds US Not Into Temptation: Weston McKennie (olf Juventus) For those of us who refuse to abandon Fulhamerica in favor of this new 4-headed Yank regime. Shit, 5 Yanks if you include Chris Armas. Leeds is tempting me……… But I can’t do it! Won’t do it! I wish all the Yanks at Leeds success. Nothing is like Fulhamerica.
I stumbled on this last night and thought it's one of the most interesting and fair analyses i've seen of a player https://martin-cbm-riley.medium.com...ase-us-profile-or-something-more-60b78081230e Time at Schalke and Juve gets covered and it's great to see equal weight given to pure data/stats and actual footage of his movement/intangibles.
As soon as Tyler joined I jumped ship. Adding Wes is making me consider getting a jersey or some other merch!
Leeds was my first love when I got into the sport in the early 90's. When they went down, I have stuck with them, but also gave Fulham my support. (I figure they are so different, there's not really much cognitive dissonance I need to do to juggle it.) *The irony of my choices being Yank-heavy teams is not lost on my, but I did make my selections prior to their respective loading up of my fellow countrymen. (And bring on the "septic/plastic" jibes for having the audacity to support two different Premier League clubs.)
