Has anyone actually watched McKennie play? Seen fans getting excited at the rumour, but some Bundesliga journalists seem to think he doesn’t off too much other than sideways passing.
Perfect Hojbjerg replacement then, just needs to make sure he can interview well and slap the badge a lot for good measure.
I’ve watched a bit. He’s a bit proto-Fellani in that he can jump very well. But if anyone’s expecting much more than tackle, press a lot and play simple passes then they’re going to be disappointed by most of our players in that position. It’s what Ralph prioritises for that role. So it’s what we’ll see.
Even better further down in the chain where he claims Newcastle have retained interest in Ings post takeover failure and the player is keen. Im leaning towards it being a troll account...
No way would he go there! Sideways move at its best - all he would get is a payrise. Although that said, maybe we should put our money where our mouth is and get him on a new contract - god knows he is worth every penny.
Could be true. Like a West Ham number 1 target and the player they do get is their 5th choice. Everton Chairman to Danny Ings's agent: "We want Danny to play for Everton....." Danny Ings agent: "Mr Ings does not want to play for Everton" Everton Chairman: "We have generous contract for Danny, fans want him...." Danny Ings agent: "Mr Ings does not want to play for Everton" Everton Chairman: "How much do you think" Phone goes dead "Hello, Hello? Repeat for 2nd, 3rd and 4th choice signings.
Everton are the only team I was thinking might realistically be in for Ings. They seem completely idiotic with their transfers so they might be willing to throw enough money to tempt him/us
