James McAtee

[McfcK]

At what point do we consider Palmer to have 'broken through'? He seems to be a permanent fixture with the 1st team now. Genuine question BTW.

I describe him more as “breaking through” just because it’s football, who knows what will happen. Brahim was in the exact same position, if not further along before he left. Until he’s pretty much kicked a senior player out of the squad I would say he’s breaking through.

I played golf with his Dad over the weekend. I simply asked him what is his situation.

Quality mate cheers

excellent to hear. Be nice for him to beat Delaps goal scoring record this season mind you

I’m sure it will also possibly rest on whether they qualify for the knockouts on the youth league and papa johns. Ultimately the players development is more important than trophies at youth level, but given the injuries and all this season they could say to McAtee no we need to keep you for these competitions. If we are knocked out in both they may just say fine go on out on loan.

Oh aye, I agree with that

Ahh thats why Swansea..

Good news if true. Probably just a coincidence but when the story on Twitter broke yesterday about him possibly signing a new contract he posted a picture of himself doing his somersault celebration on Instagram.

He was never leaving. Modern day football it’s 99% of the time a ploy from agents putting stories of clubs wanting their clients in the media to get a better deal from the club

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

as long as it's a nice long contract, I'm happy.

 

[Manc in London]

He wants to go out on loan but will sign a new contract soon.

Understandable. Looking at his goal tally, he is too good for the u23s

This is the.only Barca he's going to...

 

[asahartford1]

Aside from not signing the current offer, is there any evidence that he wants a move away..?

If he is as good as people and himself think he is, he should sign the contract , become a first teamer and the club will reward him with new contract after new contract.

I played chess with his nan. Checkmate.

Not in the u23 squad today, potentially with the first team tomorrow? Or have I missed him picking up an injury. Lavia not playing either.

He’s been training with the first team last couple days, so I ‘d guess he’ll be on the bench. Kev, Foden and Grealish could all miss out

[PannickAtTheDisco]

hopefully Pep using him means a new deal is sorted and he's staying, loving this.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Very happy to see him on the park today.

The kid is mustard and needs to be involved.

 

[samuelyeboah]

sign him up
