Mckennie is gonna be a nice bench warmer this year.
I feel like this is a better deal for us if the fee stays the same, no? We’ll probably still be able to find another suitor for Mckennie.
Barrenechea had promise, but realistically this is kind of a better outcome?
Would have liked to keep him as back up but it is what it is. The best part of having so many talented young players is for deals like this.
If this deal get done with same price I will be so happy
If it’s the same price it’s a bargain
It is and it isn’t a better deal. If mckennie doesn’t sign a new contract or be sold this summer he’s leaving next year for free. 20m is a lot of money to lose for us right now. But in the English press it’s reported Tottenham are chasing mckennie too so who knows. But good news is deal is going though.
✨Weston McKennie skills, assists, goals✨highlights 23/24 🇺🇸welcome to Juventus U23🇺🇸✨
I’m a bit worried that Aston Villa seem to have the mentality of “let’s accept whatever player Juve ship along Iling Jr. so that we get rid of Douglas Luiz”.
Are there news about behavioural issues of DLuiz at Aston Villa?
Because unless they really want to buy Iling Jr., I’m starting to feel worried that there mist be a reason why Aston Villa want to get rid of DLuiz.
ahaha mcKennie is really delusional, does he really think that he could get hired by a better team than AV? God, I really hope he gets an all season long grandstand ticket, doesn’t deserve to spend one minute more in our shirt
I dunno. Didn’t Di Marizo say that McKennie didn’t have an agreement with Aston Villa when it was really the reverse: no agreement with Juve over severance pay?
Someone is working really hard to stir up fans against McKennie. Extremely unprofessional, but I guess that’s not surprising given the sporting director: see this Times article [here](https://archive.is/J79eK#selection-4217.9-4217.165) and this Guardian article [here](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/18/calls-for-juventus-sporting-director-cristiano-giuntoli-to-quit-amid-sexism-row). Giuntoli seems to think he’s some kind of hard-nosed bad ass when he’s a fat 50 year old Italian dude that looks closer to 60.
What a way to shoot yourself on the foot! Dumb decision will weigh heavy on McBurger. Forza Juve!🦓
Management needs to drop the hammer on this bullshit, we can’t be held hostage by players. Get the fuck on the bench and stfu. Giuntoli show us what you’re made of
To be honest better sell him after this he can become a poison in the team
Holy shit. Great fucking deal. We’re probably gonna pay more in cash though I hope I’m wrong
Not a fan. We kind of know what Wes ceiling is and he’s a free agent in a year. Barrenechea looks like he could have a lot of upside and I was looking forward to seeing more of him. Hope we don’t regret it and that Luiz is worth the rather generous package we’re sending the other way.
Weston gonna love playing with the next gen
Losing a great youngster because of mcmerda, fantastic, hope he gets the piss bottle special
Won’t this cause problems cause of the swaps?
