    Bayern Munich are now interested in Chiesa, he will reportedly not make a decision until after the Euros.

    The fact that we are still chasing Rabiot shows this management is still not up to the task. Between him, Luiz & Koop you would think we are paying for Real Madrid stars.

    meanwhile we continue to get bullied by smaller teams, i bet Al Nassr will end up signing Szcezney for Free :ROFLMAO:

    Great, Bayern will buy him cheap like they did Vidal. And our fanbase will act like it was a good decision lol

    Vidal was sold because he violated the 2 crashed Ferrari rule.

    I know that he isn't the traditional Serie A midfield player but why did everyone hate or not like McKennie when he pretty much redeemed himself as being one of Juve's better players this last season?

    Is it mostly because he is American , doesn’t play the Italian way or because he can’t defend?

    Just curious…

    He was offered a new deal at reduced or spread out wages. if he had accepted it, he prolly would still be here. He didn't so now he is on the block,.

    They don't like him because he's American, if he were Italian they'd love him. Also, he can defend pretty well, far better than many of our other midfielders.

    If you had one of your best seasons, you're still relatively young and are a versatile player would you want to reduce your salary? I don't blame him really. Meanwhile they're still chasing after Rabiot, who wants an even higher salary.

    Yeah I kind of figured there was that bias for American soccer players.

    It makes you wonder why they even bother signing Americans in the first place?

    They explicitly tell you why they do. The communique goes something along the lines of: "Insert Team XYZ announces the signing of Jeff Laa'vonte Smith. Team XYZ is eager to enter the American market".

    He's been here for a few years, what's the issue. Longer tenure than many.

    I agree, but that is the reasoning.

    They are trying to do that with several players. That says to me they don't really care that much if those players leave.

    Wait. The Agnelli’s don’t like him because he’s American?
    Did not see that coming.

    No, many fans don't like him because he's American.

    No reason to offload Wes unless he wants to go. He's always reliable and consistent.

    Since when were Italians preferred in Juve or Serie A ?
    most teams and coaches prefer foreigners these days

    "why did everyone hate McKennie" - this includes Juve's fandom. Have you seen the hate he's gotten? So many calling him the fat American.

    The same fandom is reluctant to criticize Italian players, even useless ones like Kean.

    I've read a lot more criticism of Kean than McKennie.

    Proabably because Kean doesn't or hasn't played all that much.
