Who has a “favourite French fag”? Rabiot gets endless criticism on this forum. Favourite lol.

Mckennie, Rabiot, Bentancur are all similar level players. You could argue Mckennie has more upside in being youngest, heck, I might even agree with that, but he isn’t any better than those other two at the moment. He had a good 3-4 month stretch last year and then was absolutely awful after February for the last 3 months of the season. One of our worst performing players. Total rubbish in that period.

If we giving players nicknames though, like the French fag (or pussy fag like you call him sometimes), and Pjanshit, and de Shitio, etc… we probably should call Weston, Mcchickenshit. Because he’s no better than most of these players you endlessly spaz about. :p
Consistency is important but you failed to mention he wasnt exactly playing at his natural position.
Anyway this is a new season and now he also has a coach who knows what he is doing, lets see what he`ll do.

:tup:

I’m not advocating selling him. I hope we keep him. I think he has good raw ability. But some are making him out to be a lot better than he currently is.

McPotter’s “you’re a wizard, Harry” celebration is still worse.

Rabiot is our second best midfielder.
I would say Mckennie , Rabiot and even Aurthur ....they never fulfilled their potentials under Sarri or Pirlo

mainly because those coaches are clueless tactically ...Allegri is master ...

anyone who writing them off or down grading their abilities based the previous season ....i guess he needs mental check :lol:

second thing ......those are potential talents ..still not a world class ....but the talent is there and they deserve every chance to contribute to the team

dont judge quickly those players ....Fuck we gave Berna 4 years until Tuz world bend down to their knees...!!

Impulsive opinions every where ...

some made me think Mckennie is below sturaro even

Man those fans ....when Rugani is there talent reference point ...they come to tell us what is wrong and right...am muslim but i will say Juses give me a break :rofl:

I usually dont agree with @Post Ironic but comparing McDonald to Vidal is like comparing Insigne to Ronaldo. Closest comparism would with Lemina or Pereyra. Vidal was one of the best b2b ever played the game. McDonald doesnt even know what he’s doing on the field.

@Post Ironic Really putting your neck out here aren't you. The bottom line is that McKennie was our best performing midfielder last season. When he slowed down that was while he was playing through an injury (I think it was his hip) which is well documented. No other juve midfielder came close to putting together a stretch of form that McKennie put together. That, to anyone with half good sense, bodes pretty well for a 22 year old in his debut season, new team, new league.

As to the Vidal or Locatelli comparisons, they hardly require notice. Vidal was much more advanced in his career when he came to Juve and Locatelli's 2019/2020 season barely touches his performance last season. You might want to cut Weston a little slack before write him off just yet.

McKennie also seems as a team guy. He looks super positive and a great character.
Imagine in one match when we lost by one goal margin. And then we look on the bench for scoring threat and energy. I prefer to have McKennie there compare to Pjanic. He has energy to attack and defense while he also goal scoring threat from his aerial ability and his run to the box

Except big sum above 35m, i would choose to keep him

Who is available for 35M (considering we invest it immediately in a midfielder)?

he had a good month or so, while most of our mids were straight out terrible. btw for me rabiot had the best (or rather least weak) season.

anyway, i have nothing against wes. in fact i'd keep him as he's got an interesting profile, he's unlike any other of our current mids. box presence, workrate are fine, he's also a decent finisher for a midfielder. only if his passing, consistency and tackling could improve. i can see him having a strong season in a better organized team.

I will go for Gosens, and keep Fagioli as another CM backup, Bentancur, Ramsey and Arthur will be back from injury
when we have a hectic and high profile opponent back to back from Serie A and UCL we can rotate Sandro and Gosens (maybe 1 half 1 half or 1 game 1 game)

Then loan out Pellegrini to Atalanta to cover the losing of Gosens (and he can improve there too as he has attacking character that will suit Atalanta gameplay)

I wouldn't want to sell him especially if in any way it pertains to getting Pjanic. I see such upside with his hustle, determination, and positivity on the pitch. Though I see where posters here state he will never really learn to be a technical sound player? I still prefer his type of player over a technically sound one without the physical capabilities to improve. BIG enough offer than I guess Juve must sell but please no Pjanic!!!

Juve seems to always get fleeced with deals. How about if we do one onto ManCity and if Kenny sold, someway get Laporte with that money? Salary might be a problem but he has a future here after the old duo is gone, maybe quicker than expected if Bono regresses from Euro form. Of course than I want Danilo as LB starter (know RB preferred) and finally have chance to let on/off again performer Sandro leave. Danilo is even 6 months younger and a great Swiss pocket knife to have on the team.
