If he could get consistent playing time, then good for him. If not, I'd rather he go elsewhere and continue to progress.

Yeah, I definitely want him to leave Schalke, but I'd prefer him to go to a better run Bundesliga side where he might start. Like a Mönchengladbach or Leverkusen.

Learning under pirlo is intriguing, but you’d have to think his chances would be quite limited there.

Would really depend on the position he expects to play. He wouldn't beat out Zakaria, who probably plays the position that McKennie would best fit.

Italy would be the worst place for him. He’ll just get even more fat from all the pasta and cheese.

Torino would be great to live but would he even play?

Probably where Pirlo sees the value in Mckennie. They've already got a few big midfielders in Betancur, Rabiot, and Khedira. Mckennie is much more in that Khedira mold physically and he's getting up there in age. Makes sense with Pjanic leaving, but still a little odd that they aren't going after a bigger fish. This one seems to be more than a rumor and on the verge of happening. Hope he's able to get consistent minutes but he's going to have to improve for that to happen.

Pirlo's tactics will mirror Conte's

it looks like its just a loan though... Italian clubs seem to never pick up the option to buy..

Hey watch yourself. Saints are a sleeping giant . But in reality, his development would probably be quicker on the south coast as he'd be a consistent starter on a middle of the table Premier League club. Not sure how much run he will get at Juve.

Should this deal go through, how many midfielders will Juve have? Ramsey, Rabiot, Bentancur, Arthur, Khedira (though I've seen reports of Pirlo running him off) and McKennie? Weston may actually get some decent run if Khedira is in fact sent out.

Ramsey looks to be on his way out as well.

Pirlo grooms him into the next great DM, it's a hug win win for Americans and JUventus. If not, they will find their next DM via the freebie moves.

Juventus are the kings of quality freebies, and buying 37 midfielders that don't replace the 2 who were rocks of team.

They have never replaced Pogba or Vidal. The one clown was supposed to be their wind teams up guy and all he does is make stupid, typical, late, eastern euro type, shite tackles and takes cards at horrible times.
