Not only a great signing for the team, but honestly a good signing for him as well. It's great to see a new player come in and just look happy to be there. Playing in the league he watched growing up, playing with friends, and playing for a coach he likes.

[@rowanwalch5284]

Juve is going to série B 100%. At least he has a chance at staying up with leeds

@@rowanwalch5284 Absolutely not, Juve is not going 100% in serie B.

Welcome to Leeds, Weston! Great signing, he fits perfectly on and off the pitch! 💛🤍💙

[@rod9102]

And he's a failure

[@Carl-re6zb]

The chemistry between Wes & Tyler is unreal... I hope this translates to the pitch and the enthusiasm, passion and desire to succeed drives us to keep going for the rest of the season. Really looking forward to the coming games, and barring any injuries, I sense the results will come. Just missing a left back of good quality to make us a force for top 6..

[@JM-yf3ol]

Have you seen the photos of them together as teenagers. It’s weird but amazing. Tyler is actually taller than Weston. See how that turned out.

[@LilYoungDaddy]

Those boys balled out at the World Cup. Team USA as a whole wasn’t great, but the US midfield was one of the best in the tournament in the group stage.

@@maratonlegendelenemirei3352 yep! Really wish Leeds players had more recovery time in between the Manure fixtures. I would be ecstatic to get 3 points out of either one of those fixtures, 2 would be acceptable but 1 or 0 Pts would be extremely rough and hard to accept.

So excited for this. There was a period when he was Juventus’ best midfielder.

[@wuxiagamescentral]

I'd argue outside of Rabiot he was their best player and he was the one who forced Rabiot to leave or was it someone else who left?

He forced Ramsey to leave

[@mrnobody4237]

@@wangchung2157 Agreed, I really like him but he's too lightweght atm, and he goes to ground far to easily, a bit like Jack Grealish when he was at Villa.

[@Nick-xe3zv]

Agreed but give him a bit of a break trying to play the middle in Jesse's system. He never has a easy out to the sidelines like most systems and he obviously is trying to do what Jesse wants

[@activatewindows8609]

Not going to lie, I hated him when England played USA in the World Cup, because he was honestly the reason that England were struggling so much, he was by far the best player on that pitch that game, for both sides, we have needed a player like him at Leeds for some time.

[@activatewindows8609]

@creator xa Oh yeah no doubt, no Phil Foden that match still baffles me, but regardless McKennie seemed to be one of the only players on that pitch that was doing his job.

he can adapt to his surroundings easily as he's from a "military family" who are always on the move. Looking forward to seeing him in the team, a good signing.

[@leeedsonetwo]

Seems to be a very confident but nice guy, welcome to Leeds.

[@jeremywentworth1833]

As a Leeds supporter well over 30 years, Chemistry between Tyler and Weston reminds me of the players in O'Leary's squad how close they all were. These 2 may well be the key to us start climbing the table I've a feeling these 2 are going to be here alot longer than Jesse. I'm proud to have to off the very best American footballers at Leeds. If Weston puts in half the performances of Tyler he's going to go down well with the Fans, Tyler certainly has.

[@richardlyness]

Totally mate. Was my era in my teams and I'm starting to feel the way I did then. Let's get stuck into the League now

[@maratonlegendelenemirei3352]

For me more like Batty and Speed during Sgt Wilko's time.

[@rfjohnson69]

Take my opinion with a grain of salt as I am filthy American and someone who is new to the PL, but it really seems like the back needs to be shored up more than the midfield. Don't get me wrong, I love the signing, but the backfield seems to be holding things... well....back

[@jeremywentworth1833]

@@rfjohnson69 I'm sure your not filthy , a filthy mind lol, I do see your Americanism in your message, as you obviously mean defence, never heard in European football the backfield , I heard the other day someone say about our roster, I said what on earth is a roster, I've since found out it's what we call a team or the Squad lol, it's when Americans start calling us Leeds United States Soccer Club , were Leeds United States football club lol

This, on paper, is the best transfer window in my lifetime so far. Bringing in Wöber to fix us defensively, getting rid of llorente for good money after the loan, Rutter looks promising and now Wes to fit perfectly into the midfield and also another young lad defensively. I’m 23 and first memories following Leeds were after we got relegated from the prem for context
