Weston McKennie

[Tom_Siffringer]

Had we paid half the money we did for McKennie I think we'd be quite happy.

Thought he was the best of an all be it poor midfield 3 yesterday.

But a £30mil player I don't see.

Gets about well, has the odd decent touch of quality (creating space for the shot 1st half but then didn't shoot and overhit the through ball).

I just don't see how a player like him justifies that sort of money

Adams is a breaker up of play with limited on ball skills

You can accept that for £20mil.

Over that though you need a bit more imo.

McKennie needs to find more quality on the ball to justify him.

Has had decent moments but that final bit of quality needs to come and it needs to be soon.

We definitely needs a bit more power in midfield which he brings.

But atm we have 3 midfielders without any final 3rd quality between them

It's McKennie who needs to find it.

For our sake it needs to come.

You need to work on your debating skills

But seem to remember you are a self confessed McKennie fanboy so I forgive you

[weasel]

Aye, the number of PL level managers here gives me pause, unsure how Leeds are near the drop zone with the quality of management on this board

I'll give you a clue it rhymes with Nessie Parsche.

No, that's Alex Ferguson.

Tom, i'm not trying to defend KP here, but 'he's been shite at Citeh' ? He's rarer than rocking horse s**t at Citeh, how have you managed to judge him ?

Hey don't get me wrong, he was shite pre Bert tha knows, and you keep making these posts when bladdered i love em, i'll be joing you soon matey

Please tell me you were bladdered?

[Kennyb41]

You are correct to a degree. But this message board is the most fickle and trigger happy of any I've been part of. Which is not an outright criticism. Just an observation. Note: This is the only Leeds United forum that I have joined.

With regard to McKennie. His price will naturally create expectations. The question is are they realistic? He has walked right into the starting eleven. And if it's between him and Roca he won't be sitting on the bench anytime soon. He is an obvious upgrade. Having said that we do expect more from him. And I think we will see more from him. And if not I will be the first one to call him out. Just like I have with Aaronson and Adams.

I don't know whether to feel quite proud today ?

I've been called some things in my time, but never fickle,

I'm gonna take that as a compliment, and progress.

[Kennyb41]

I'm off tert pub na, i'm gonna say tert first person that deserves it......'shuddup ya fickle ba***rd'

I hope hope they mishear it.

Not directed at you Kenny. It' been my observation that you give players and Managers time to prove themselves. And you are not quick to turn on players. By the way....I'm going to have to re-watch the Fulham match and see if I can figure out what "it" is. You have me intrigued.

Have fun at the Pub! Cheers Mate.

Well said.

As for Kalvin ...he was my favorite Leeds player (other than Jack) before the arrival of Tyler, but he's been abysmal for City. His lack of quality has truly shown

I'd have Kalvin back in a flash, Adams isn't the same player. We still don't have that DMF/Sweeper at the club atm

[Irish Ian]

I met an Everton fan the other day ( defo a rarity over here)

Anyway we got chatting and shared war stories for a while then it got round 8-)to this fella.
The Everton fan said he had watched a lot of Juve and said that he loved the player and thought we had snapped up a bargain.
Thing is though he was playing in a midfield who have players in there who can thread a ball through a needle, Rabiot and Locatelli. Kulusevski as a 10.

He was fine in buzzing around and putting out fires but we have Adams for that. And Forshaw haha. At Juve there was so much creativity in there Weston didnt have to stress about that side of his game t

We look more solid with him but it comes with the expense of putting even more pressure on the offensive players.

I just wonder if he is a good fit for us.

He'd be great in the Championship if we go down.....

I'm closer I'm in Surrey, and there's gonna be those closer than me. Black Hills is miles away from Loch Ness.... apparently there's a pond.

He'd be great in the prem if we don't

Didn't have to stress about it doesn't mean he doesn't have it. As I say reminds me of Klich who was very creative albeit not in the same way as Pablo. With Klich it was clever passes and runs no one else saw possible. McKennie is the same type of player.

Adams is a box to box which means he's often AWOL when it comes to teams breaking on us.

[Kennyb41]

Oh no he wouldn't, not without Bert, you see not many could do what Bert did with KP it was extraordinary, 'it' was mainly all down to his reading of the play, other stuff as well, you've obviously got to be able to play a bit, but positional sense and reading the play worked wonders for him.

Jeez i'd have been mega interested if Bert could work with McKennie and TA, TA probably being too much to convert from his instinctive play and running, McKennie might be a more interesting proposition, I think Brenden would be fine.

Well it was there in all it's glory v Fulham Paul, this might help ya.....David Silva my all time fav Prem import and player had 'it' in spades, Jeez if Bert had a full team of David Silva's it would be like the Harlem Globetrotters of football my friend.

And yes you could even put one of him in the nets because a goalkeeper would not be needed in such a team.

Great but we need to see it from him then. I fear three of him Roca and Adams just wont have enough going forward.
I still havent gotten over his "pass" to Aaronson on saturday
