Why would Luiz want out? We've just made the Champions League.

I think a very, very, very healthy skepticism is required for the summer. Unless John Percy jots it down, it's all swirl in the breeze.

We might just want to cash in.

But this "McKennie + a few million" wouldn't be cashing in?

Oh I agree. I think McKennie is shit. Just offering an alternative as to why this MIGHT be happening

Yeah we might well want to cash in on £70-80m, I get that. This stuff from Juventus is rather embarrassing though. Have some dig... never mind.

He's been here five years, maybe he wants a change? He might always have fancied playing in Italy and experiencing that culture, and this might be his chance.

I've had the feeling for a while that this is the case.

It just seems he's the one that suits every party. If he wants out I think that of all the potential leavers he the one most likely to want to go, and the one easiest for us to replace, and also most in demand in the current market.

I fact, we may have already replaced him with Tielemans and the deal for Barkley. Then we'll have room to bring in someone good for another role we need. Gallagher gives us more energy and is also a goal threat, so then we're even stronger and better covered in the midfield spots and still quids in.

Weston McKennie sounds like a hotel in a motorway service station. For this reason, I'm out.

Dont know much about Mckennie but acording to Wiki, he's quite versatile which may be the appeal to Emery if there is any truth in it. He's also a huge Harry Potter fan. Mckennie, not Emery, although he might be

You're both wrong..
The Weston McKennie was the hottest nightspot in the South West during the early 1960s.
The Beatles played there a couple of days after their legendary gig at Lydney Town Hall.

I thought Weston McKennie was the firm of solicitors handling the deal?
