James McAtee

[Cobra]

I do like watching McAtee the lad is a magician at times, if he ever gets to up the strength and stamina he will be in the first team.

Stamina has never been an issue for him at EDS level, he always seems to be involved in late goals and assists

 

[borassic]

Scummy red bastards thinking they’re hard men. Whatever the age, players or fans, some things never change

Fuckin love that celebration by the lad who scored the 4th. That that up ya!

Haha yes top man Tai Sodje!

If you watch the aftermath of their second goal it’s actually McAtee who runs to the halfway line to confront their bellend number 5

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

palmer is the one I think that will make it. Has everything. Isn’t always as flashy

can I ask why you don’t think he’ll make it? Brilliant at youth level and barely played at senior. For me Mcatee could make it, but gets more plaudits because of the way he plays - similar to silva

Palmer's class. Not sure he's got a change of gear in him though......but then again being one-paced hasn't affected Mahrez unduly

How’s McAtee rated compared to previous top prospects? Back to back hattricks from CM, including one against the Rags is pretty special.

Very highly, if he's not a regular member of our squad in a couple of years I'll be disappointed. I rate him higher than Palmer 2bh but that's just my view.

He could go to the very top,technically brilliant,incredibly silky and he makes the game look easy.

I don't know who will be the better player in the future (between Palmer and McAtee), but it's so nice to have this "problem".

2 absolutely gifted attacking midfielders, hopefully atleast one of them stays long term.

Considering our current midfield is 2 30 year olds (KdB and Gundog) and a 27 year old (Bernie) who probably won't be here long term, I can definitely see them BOTH staying long term.

I also think they can compliment each other well.

Great to see some exciting talent in this eds squad, Palmer and Mcatee the future of City

This kid is unreal. Better than Foden was for the EDS IMO.

Maybe,hopefully.

Maybe,hopefully.

Not hopefully. He's playing better for the EDS than Foden ever did IMO.

I never said he's a better player, but it's very promising.

I never said he's a better player, but it's very promising.

I mean hopefully from the perspective that he goes on to be better.

You can’t really compare them, Foden only ever played 9 games for the EDS (as a 17 year old) and still got 6 goals and 5 assists.

You are right but some of that is probably to do with Foden only played around half a season with the EDS in 17/18, so although your true it’s a bit of a catch.

I took his comment as more broadly speaking,so his youth period in its entirety.

 

[bluebanana83]

Great prospect. Really hope he and the others can get some experience in the Papa John’s and some league/ FA cup appearances.

 

[MillisleBlue]

HIs third goal against Stretford was ridiculous. One touch to control the ball and one touch to tee it up for a shot into the top corner of the net. This young fella has amazing ability!
