Sadly I‘m sure he will have a breakout elsewhere and will play with different pressure on his mind.£25mil is amazing money for him. I’d expect closer to 15.
From what I’ve seen, I don’t think he’s a Premier League player. Certainly not a top level one

Come on Alex. Imagine the meltdown if McAtee had been picked to play against Madrid in the semi of the Champions League. We would of all been questioning Pep's sanity.I'm sure the only reason McAtee hasn't scored 4 goals vs Real in CL quarters and semis is because he hasn't been given the chance.
Aguero and KDB had the chance but couldn't outscore Bernardo at Old Trafford and Anfield. Bernie is fantastic in the biggest games. Shouldn't be difficult to appreciate his offensive contributions in such games.
Snap their hands off .£25mil is amazing money for him. I’d expect closer to 15.

McAtee only has 12 months left on his contract so undermines us. Presume if he doesn’t re sign, and why would he, he can leave for nothing next year. Albeit we may get a few hundred grand via the development monies given his age? 25m and a buy back seems a very good deal.For comparison, Spurs are reported to have paid Leeds £40M for Archie Gray
Presumably Archie Gray had more than 12 months left on his contract, can clearly play in different positions, had a great season albeit in the Championship and is younger(?).For comparison, Spurs are reported to have paid Leeds £40M for Archie Gray
At a similar age, McAtee had a great season in the Championship with Sheffield Utd and subsequently showed up well for them in the PL, albeit in a relegated team. He's just had an underwhelming season with, but in that season has contributed more goals in fewer games than Cole Palmer did in all of his time and finished off by leading the Engalnd U21s to Euros victory (Archie Gray was a squad player in that team).Presumably Archie Gray had more than 12 months left on his contract, can clearly play in different positions, had a great season albeit in the Championship and is younger(?).
Edit - just checked. Gray is 19, McTee is 22
Don’t think we have much choice when he only has a year on his dealhope we dont let him go so cheaply as 20-25m.
can totally see him impress at his next club and signing for Chelsea in 2 years time for 60m lol.
Agree, that's the reality of the situation. I was more commenting on his relative worth, which I also realise is a mugs game given the vagaries of the the transfer market and the wide range of opinionsMcAtee only has 12 months left on his contract so undermines us.

I remember posters on here saying that about palmer, delap, lavia and Morgan rogers. I’d take most of them in our side now.£25mil is amazing money for him. I’d expect closer to 15.

While I understand why he wants to go, it's a real shame. I think he'll develop into a first class player. I honestly thought that about Palmer, my wife did too (we both are ST holders). I am not right about everything of course, but we were right about Palmer and I am worried I will be proved right about McAtee if (or when) he leaves.I remember posters on here saying that about palmer, delap, lavia and Morgan rogers.

He’s a brilliant young player, who’s now being seriously underrated on here. Same for all of our young players.
And I am sure the RDAHMeedya will log his every touch, assist and wank themselves mindless when he scores.Sadly I‘m sure he will have a breakout elsewhere and will play with different pressure on his mind.

I think not having Delap is another silly move by us. We have become too reliant on Haaland in a system that doesn't suit Haaland. Delap could have been a perfect alternative to test if it is Haaland or the system that needs to be tweaked.Palmer clearly had it but 40mil seemed good money at the time.
Delap is ok but would only be a sub for us really. I never saw the other 2 play so can’t comment
Maybe I’m wrong but McTee isn’t up to it at top pl level. But we’ll see
