Not good enough.

Bit harsh. I thought the lyrics were decent.

Randomly reading up about everyone's new favourite premium strong cider / motorway services hotel / tobacco giant / small town accountants.  From Wikipedia:

McKennie has been a fan of the Wizarding World since first reading a Harry Potter book at the age of 6. He has a Harry Potter lightning bolt tattoo and his signature goal celebration involves waving his hand as if using a wand to cast a spell.

Something to look forward to, I suppose ...

Thought he was terrible at Leeds and that was in the Championship.

We definitely will not have a leg to stand on when people hate on Maddison's darts, we'll have a bloke who waves a wand!

To be fair, they were in the Championship by the time he left...

He really was bad at Leeds. Hopefully has no bearing on how he does at Villa. Seems a very limited player though. I'm sure has a plan..

I am always amazed how people remember, with great clarity, how players were shit when they played for other clubs, years ago.
It must be a gift.

He's not as good as Douglas Luiz. Not by a long shot.

But at 6'1" & with a bit of pace, there will be a bit more physicality & mobility in the team.

Some Juventus fans are disappointed that he is leaving as he had double figure assists when he went back from his Leeds debacle.

I think that can be excused though as Leeds were a fucking basket case club at that time.

I suppose we have to look for the positives, but if we are trading Luiz for McKennie & Barkley, then that would be disappointing as fuck.

He got dropped into the middle of an awful situation at Leeds. And none of us watched them often enough to point out with any clarity that he was truly terrible or was just part of a terrible set of players losing week after week. Since he returned to Juventus he’s been very good so I’ll take that as evidence of what he can do. Much like how I will view Ross Barkley rejoining us after an excellent season at Luton vs judging him on his short injury plagued spell with a lower mid table club a year after avoiding relegation by the skin of its bollocks in the Covid era.

Just ask any Leeds fan on his time at the club will confirm he was very poor for them

Bitter Leeds fans who had watched their side getting battered all season, pining for the return of bucket arse who caused a most of it. Not the most rational of observers.
