No I cant..
Mck was bought for 2 reasons - We thought he was talented and the nationality thing for marketing purposes.
Locatelli was brought because he was one of the best performers in the league.
Did nationality play a part? Its good to bring Italians for the club identity but its not the prime target.
The US can represent some serious marketing opportunity even if European football isnt their no`1 sport
Locatelli played in a middle table team and we overpaid completely. We had already two midfielders with the same characteristics in Rabiot and Bentancur.
The biggest factor buying him was that he is italian and was part of the team that won the Euros. There was no need buying him, should have gone for Savic instead in my opinion or at least get rid of Rabiot or Benta before buying him.
My point with McKennie was that Paratici has a good eye for finding this kind of talents, other clubs want also the marketing oppurtunity in the US but were not aware that McKennie is a good player.
