Leeds United Chat • Re: Weston McKennie

Felt he had a better cameo today

Got about the pitch well, made some good interceptions

Got up the pitch well.

But the Downside is technically on the ball there is very little there it seems

£30mil player he isn't

But better today in parts

I understand the point you are making Cjay. You have said that your biggest hangup with the player is his price tag. However, defensive midfield is a position of need for almost everyone right now. So I believe the market is a bit inflated for established players. And given the clubs he has played for, and his Champion's League experience is easy to see why the price is what it is. You and I might think it's too much. But I do believe it reasonably reflects market value.

Since I know your first move will be Google here is what I found. McKennie's value range is 17M-28M. Juve paid 20M for him. And similar players are valued around 23M-40M.

The biggest question for me is if Weston McKennie is a good fit for Leeds United??? And I'm not sure that he is. Particularly if we are going to use him in a 4-2-3-1 double pivot. If we go down the point will be moot. His rights will stay with Juve and he will most likely be sold to another Premier League club.
