If anyone is bored tonight Juve Vs Atalanta just kicked. McKennie is playing RWB and struggling thus far. Really really worth keeping an eye on Scalvini and Højlund for Atalanta. Two incredible young talents. Højlund is only 19 but Gasparaini has said he’s one of most talented young players he’s ever come across and Scalvini, also 19, is considered the future of the Italian back line.
When I have seen him before he has always played as a defensive RCM and he has all the attributes to be a RWB. I thought if we signed him he would predominantly play as a RWB. More so now we have signed Bissouma.

I personally think he is Fabio and Contes first choice as RWB, and from what I have seen he would be a great addition.

Leeds making their move. I would be disappointed if we don’t go for him but we don’t really have the squad space

I think if we were looking for a CM we could do better personally. I’m going to be quite happy when he moves so he’s off the table.

Marsch slowly building a USA PL team.
Given the 49rs own part and are looking to taking a majority share, they may well try to move the Leeds "franchise" to the USA and still be in the PL - long away days then!

As for Mac, I think he's decent but not any better than the midfielders we have so doesnt move us forward so happy to pass

Agree. He’s good but he’s not much better than what we have. We need a 2nd CM of Bentancur’s quality next to him. I think Bissouma can be that guy given the chance but if not then signing another top class CM in summer would be good.

Mckennie should do well at Leeds. Not sure he’s quite suit the 3-4-3 either, probably works better in a midfield 3 imo as he’s more of a box to box n.o8 so might leave too big a holes playing in a spread out CM 2 in our system.

Agree we can do better.

It will be great to see him in the Prem though. He’s a good character, and would like to see him do well. Think he’d do very well for Leeds.

Some rumours now that the scum are in for him, would hate to see him go there and be successful.

I think this would be a brilliant signing for Conte or any other manager we have in the near future.

The way he pressed against England at the world cup was outstanding. Looks a good player.

I like him a lot as a player but equally I'm quite happy for him to go elsewhere. If he goes to Leeds, I think he'll do well, but I don't think he is the solution (or a primary solution) to the shortcomings of our squad.
