Just as long as he stays away from the Premier League for another year or two, I’ll be happy.
He’s developing nicely. He’s 20. He needs to play against lower level competition and do it regularly. I don’t even think that he is ready for the French Ligue 1, much less the other leagues in the Top 5.
I was listening to a podcast in the last 3 days that mentioned that when asked about his future while in Vegas for the Nations League, Timo Weah said that he sees his future at the club level as a Wing Back. 👀
When I heard that, I immediately thought of Juventus’ Juan Cuadrado (Colombia WB with the #11 kit). I knew that Cuadrado was getting old (Wiki says he just turned 34), but he was always in on the attack when I watched Juventus, so I thought that he was the right forward in a 4-3-3 or a RW in a 3-5-2, or whatever Juve plays.
Then just now, I read the posts saying that Weah is going to Juve and I’m psyched.
This is a perfect move for Weah. The 2023/24 year will be a good learning/transition year and then in the 2024/25 season, the position will be Weah’s, Cuadrado will leave, and Juve will bring in Weah’s backup. By the second half of this season, I would expect Weah to start more often than Cuadrado.
