Did mcatee touch the ball
If not, we should get rid on that basis alone ;-)

Seriously though, that is one of the problems I have with him. He has a few nice touches (or scores) here and there but never really seems to get involved in the game otherwise.

We also have a bit of a habit of falling to pieces when he comes on (not through any fault of his own though).

Ultimately, I can't see him staying beyond this season.
 
What's worrying is the fact that we're negotiating price going into the final 24 hours of the window is a clear indication as to how highly we rate him.
 
This will get done. There is no way Porto rejects €50m only to sell him for €30m to Barca next summer when their buy back clause kicks in. It probably gets done at ~€55m

Isn't there a 40% sell on fee, so €50m now would be exactly the same as €30M from barca

Porto have an option to purchase 20% of his rights for €6m. A €50m offer means that they’d get €40m minus the €6m = €34m
€55m means a €38m profit now, compared to €30m in the summer

Deadline is tomorrow. That option, I’m sure, would take a lot of time to be redeemed.

Barcelona would just delay the process, if they were smart.

Not if they only need to deposit the €6 mill to trigger it. Maybe that can’t be done until Monday morning though.
 
If we don't sign him (in lieu of literally no other concrete links) then it's an acceptance of doing nothing this year. We know we won't win the league, but not signing a midfielder at all will lead to more results like today's. Maybe not as excessive, but one of the recurring featuresin our lull is a massive drop off after the hour mark.
 
They got a better result against Juventus than we did. Might not be heavyweights but deserve more respect than you can obviously muster.

Whilst we're on about changes, what about KDB, McAtee, Foden too from that performance? Gavrdiol was also pretty average and has made a shot load of mistakes this season, Marmoush and Savinho not great either. Ederson has been average at best this season and Grealish is clearly out of favour. Doku always injured so maybe he should go too?
Have you not realised how shite we are this season. We lost to Brighton who just conceded 7 against Forest. That doesn't mean I think Brighton are brilliant because they beat us.

Why are you acting like the players I named haven't been shite all season. This isn't about 1 game. It's about the consistently piss poor performance from players that are clearly now not good enough.
