How is the dream come true? He was playing for one of that most famous club in the world and now he’s going to play for Leeds trying to avoid relegation.
There was a diss on Aaronson in this video. I think Aaronson will immediately look 33% better if you put McKennie on the field with him and take Harrison or Rodrigo off the field.
So from what I am getting from some of these comments. Leeds = Premier League. Ok moving on with my day.
Ten Hag doing the same thing with United. He’s got 3 Dutchmen already and wants more. United are playing well though and Leeds are almost EFL bound.
Dream come true is an overused statement these days🤦♂️
Don’t f*ck this one up boys!
Classy player – great move
It's ironic though because Leeds actually has more Spanish players than American players.
With all due respect to Jans and the exceptions of Haaland and Martin Odegaard, the quality of US footballers is superior to that of Norwegians. The quality of the US talent pool is quickly accelerating, so I'm baffled by the panic by pundits on McKennie's move to Leeds. Is their concern more about how he'll fit into Marsch's system?
McKennie, Adams, and even Aaronson seem poised to apply their chemistry playing together for the USMNT to achieve Marsch's goals. I expect McKennie to have an immediate and positive impact on Leeds' ability to escape relegation.
This is going to be epic no matter how you slice it
Yessir!
Leeds United – United States Fc
Wolves – Portugal Fc
Pulisic might as well join. You could have a few usa internationals play together and build chemistry in the league
You can't say it's a risky move and then follow it up by saying he will improve Leeds and they will stay up! Also, I think Marsch is a better manager than Ole.
Mckennie and adams are modern day nigel reo coker and lee cattermole. You cant have more mediocre players than this two in your midfield
This is a disaster for Big Mac he was already playing football now he's going to unlearn and start playing soccer. Now all he's going to do run at top speed all game long. That's not Big Mac's game
What about Wolves? Do Wolverhampton care how many Portuguese players they have as long as they stay up or will they blame their Portuguese contingent (9 players) or their Spanish contingent including their manager (5 players and manager) or will they just blame the whole Iberian peninsula? And they only have 3 English players in the active roster.
Stop the controversy with Americans in English football
excellent signing for leeds
Which these players would have some personality in these interviews and stop saying the same generic BS all the time 🫠
Yo be honest, whenever I watch this boy play, I can't even imagine the type of player he is… Just so average to be a Juventus player
Haters: Leeds are just another Brentford
Reality: Leeds are another Aston Villa
Shut up burley Leeds won’t go down
Leeds Zeppelin baby 👍
Marching on together, we all love Leeds, keep fighting 🦚🇮🇨 Brilliant January transfer window welcome to Leeds United Weston 😍🤩👏
Did he really say that? If I had moved from Juventus to Leeds, I would be worried that my career was in decline.
Another American given the boot from a top club. Will Pulisic be next?

Weston will be money for Leeds! As a Juve fan I hate to see him go but it is loan for now, at 24 he is playing in his third league. Bundesliga, Serie A, and EPL, pretty hard to theink if there is even another American that has done so in their enrire career. It is a step down from team status but getting EPL play under boots can't hurt…
Im sure he was dreaming of this move
Good signing.
I'm positive Weston is going to be fantastic for us just like Tyler, I thought Tyler would struggle and Aaronson would hit the ground running, how wrong am I , Brendan was brilliant first few games he's poor since Chelsea . It's Jesse that needs to tinker how we play, this playing narrow doesn't suit a premier League team, if he adapted it to be more like conventional systems I'm sure he would have us further up the table. If it's so great why do hardly any teams in World football play this way. If we don't finish higher than 14th Jesse needs replacing at the end of the season. So many managers would improve us from other European and South American Leagues. I want Leeds to get back to constantly finishing in the top 5 like we did for so many seasons in our last premier League era.
If we go down it's not because of America it's because Jesse marsch is out of his depth. Adams has been brilliant and Aaronson has been ok. I'm sure McKennie will be better than what we have. But it's all on marsch to adapt.
Good choice by Leeds and good choice by Weston.
If it's a dream come true, tell that to your feet
