Will this be a good move for the USMNT stars?
It has been so painful watching Leeds this season. Awful doesn't cover it. Fulham were competitive.
Weston could care less if Leeds get relegated. He’s going back to Juventus and then from there he’ll be able to get a transfer to a club with a better record than Leeds United. I truly believe the only reason Weston went to Leeds was because of Jesse and Tyler Adams.
My only fear is that the other English teams will take it out on the Americans and say it’s the fault of the Yanks why leads went down. That’s the only reason why I’m rooting for them to stay up.
You Yanks can all do one along with your joke of football players 🙏🏼.. Harvey Price & Rizzla paper will never see the Prem again.. Adams might get club outside top 8. 👋🏽
McKennie and Aaronson have been absolutely awful for Leeds. Only Adams comes out looking good, but Aaronson cost Leeds a lot of $$, and I don't see any "good" team coming in for him. Mckennie is fat, and has been for awhile, and he could become a journeymen if his next move doesn't work out. Lord knows the Juve fans don't rate him and Juve are about to go through a rebuild. Adams could easily move to another EPL team or even go back to the Bundesliga. Imo, Adams never should've left Leipzig for Leeds but im hoping his bank account is bigger.

I guess I'm the weird one then. My interest was piqued because of the Americans, and then I kind of became a Leeds fan. Fulham too, but I've become attached to some of the Leeds Youtubers.
The World Cup is every four years, so I do care about clubs, and if any of our players are bringing one down I'm going to say it. I don't think that was the case in Leeds, the front office was a clown car of incompetent personnel decisions. McKennie wasn't a good style fit, and Allardyce seems to be the only one who knows how to use him in the attack. Aaronson was brought over too early, and I think that's because Marsch and Orta don't really understand what it takes to be good in the Prem. Adams did well, I half expect to see him in Villa with Rodrigo in a few months.
Adam was not too bad for Leeds. He is a stout defender but doesn't do much to build attacks. Aaronson has appeared to be out of his depth in the Premier league though given many, many chances to prove himself. McKennie has been mostly poor for Leeds. Selected for every game he has one assist to his name (with a throw) and no goals. He is not much use as a defender. Allegedly a box-to-box midfielder, he has never dominated the midfield in any game. None of these three players have done much to enhance their reputation during their time at Leeds. Same goes for the manager Jesse Marsch who repeatedly showed himself to be very unadept at in-game management and tactical nuances. Aaronson, McKennie, and Marsch are busted flushes at the highest level. No one will want them now. Adams may yet come good if he recovers fully from his injury.
The facts are there were 4 Americans drafted in to the club to make an impression, including the manager. The result is the club being relegated. Although not solely the fault of the Americans it must be said none of them have done anything noteworthy have they despite having the perfect opportunity to do so 👍
