It depends on what you mean by a world class team. Sure, if we had Real or City money, obviously we wouldn't even be discussing this.

But I've watched Juve for long enough to know that we have had players like Pessotto, Tacchinardi, Pepe, Birindelli, and others who are all decent Italians, but still played a big role in some or many of our seasons. We always had decent hard working players to supplement a couple world class folks like Del Pie and Zizou.

My point is this - we would NOT even be having this discussion if Weah and Mckennie were Italian. And that's always been the double standard here and with this club in general.
Until they can consistently prove themselves at the highest level at big teams, there will always be an asterisk attached to American players.

A JJ competing for trophies will not have Mckennie and Weah as starters unless they keep improving and become protagonists of a scudetto winning team(doubtful)

Your crying about American players supposedly not getting the recognition is really funny. Sounding like an Ingurland/New York FIGC Azzurri fan here.

Alen and his cronies are winding you (the Tuz Americans) up :grin:. Nobody serious has any issue with McKennie and probably not with Weah either.

He'd be doing the same to me if it was Robertson and McTominay that we'd signed, and it would work on me too :grin:

Timothy Weah on Prime Video Sport:

BEAUTIFUL GOAL - "I scored a goal, but it was useless. We wanted to qualify, but now we have to focus on the league because we have other matches ahead."

WHAT WAS MISSING - "We lacked desire and aggression. They wanted it more than we did. We need to get back to training hard because we are a young group, and we need to keep working and take our time."

Timothy Weah vs Nicolo Savona at fullback by the numbers:


Successful dribbles: Weah 1.79, Savona 0.58


Shots on goal: Weah 13, Savona 6


tackles: Weah 79, Savona 55


Turnovers: Weah 23, Savona 33


Weah has has proven to be more reliable defensively and in possession

No coincidence we haven't seen Savona ever since we actually got a fit RB and LB.
