Would be better if we got another CM in with him, providing we are after him in the first place.

That Mckennie as Leeds spell is an all timer for how bad he was. Sure there was loads of flapping over them signing him as well.
Overweight as well.
Absolute plodder.
This is not at all fair. He was generally poor. But manager that brought him in was fired a week after he arrived. Tyler Adams - his national team partner - went down injured a week later. Team was in shambles generally. Leeds fans just needed a scapegoat, and he was a convenient one.
He then went and forced himself back into the Juventus first team in 2023-2024, starting 33 matches and picking up 10 assists. He was in the top 10 in Serie A for assists, with 7 in the league.
As Kramer said above, he's not the most accurate of passers and can be a bit loose with the ball - which may be a reason not to sign him - but he does about everything else very well.

Remember when the Welsh on here were telling us how brilliant Ashley Williams was going to be?

He might have been good at juve but he was absolutely terrible at Leeds and very unfit.
I’d stay well away from him myself.

You'd think they'd stop playing him now. Was talk of them wanting 40m plus off west ham for him. Now fans from teams way down the league don't want him on loan paying half his wages. Couple more games and city will be covering that 600m we owe if we take him

I'm not saying McKennie would be brilliant for us because i am american. In fact, i'm not even sure he's right for us given i think i'd prefer a CM who is a bit more accurate in his passing and can maintain possession under pressure. I was just pointing out that the other post was inaccurate and unfair as to its description of his level.

It means his agent wants more money from Villa.
