James McAtee | Agreement with Forest - £30m overall

[SiMCFC]

Pep watches them everyday in training you don’t

Good job he could see everyday, how well some of his favourites were doing last season then eh!

 

[skillman]

Absolutely right to reject £25m for him. England U21s captain and was a rotation player for us last season. Eventually.

Value isn't all about the here and now, it's about potential too - and I don't think we're prepared to be scarred again like we have been with Palmer who, like it or not, is worth more than what we sold him for.

 

[CΛL]

Funnily enough I think playing for his boyhood club is actually holding him back a bit. Reckon he needs to care a bit less and be a bit more arrogant

He’s got the backflip and the mullet, he just needs to show it on the pitch

 

[Dax777]

£25m is a good offer, can't be too far away from what we value him.

We obviously dont want to get burnt if he has a good season in the next 2 years and becomes a £60m+ player.

I think its unlikely he does a Palmer but his performances at the Euro U21's were promising enough for a club to pay £30m+.

40 mil. With a 60 million buy back option

I don't know why folks are so quick to overrate other team's players and underrate ours. He is a fantastic attacking mind with top notch technique.

 

[Gordyola]

I’d reject every bid they put in after pretending MGW didn’t have a release clause

They were subject to a NDA apparently

 

[Gordyola]

Should sniff out any other interested parties

 

[Blue Hefner]

Sure, but £35m is a good middle ground and feasible for both.

I’d be very happy with 35mil. But even that seems toppy for him
Let’s see but looks like things are moving so hopefully he’ll get a good move and City get a good fee

 

[citizen_maine]

And that's exactly what we are doing now, buying loads and loads of young players but this time for profit.

We're also making them. This one for instance

Ok

 

[Centurions]

And that's exactly what we are doing now, buying loads and loads of young players but this time for profit.

We're really not.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

We're not going to get close to that. Be realistic.

That's what I'm saying. I've seen some of the valuations from people on here and I don't know how they're getting those figures.

We ignored him for the vast majority of a season when our midfield was absolute wank and our wingers couldn't convert chances. Now we want Palmer money for him?

I've not read up on what the offer from Forest was but I wouldn't expect much more than what they've already bid, as long as there's a buyback clause or something similar in there.

 

[LongsightM13]

Pretty sure Palmer had even less senior experience than McAtee when we sold him?

 

[Centurions]

Still unsure as to why we asked the lad to re-sign to then bench him until we literally had nobody to play. Just let the lad go and play football ffs, one of the most frustrating things Pep and City have done over the last 10 Years for me is their treatment of J.M. no need for it and it looks like shit to anyone outside of the club tbh.

Are you his mummy by any chance because that's some bollocks you've written there.

Nobody can "kick on" when they are given the scraps that He has imo. It's been a continuation of the absolute shit show of playing certain players, whether they have been in form or not for the last couple of seasons, Pep has to be braver going forwards. I said the exact same with Palmer the season before we did the same to Him.

Palmer left for entirely different (non-football) reasons.

Pep watched Palmer every day in training..

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

With 1 year left (and our massive squad) every club would know this lad is available. It hardly a negotiation and more of an auction. We will get what we get. If he stays with us he will be lucky to get a handful of cup games.

PS. The HG rule is fine in my view. It helps the better organised clubs I.e. us. This is the first time in years we have had to make tough decisions as a result of squad limits.

'massive'..

Tbh, Palmer didn't exactly illuminate the pitch the season he was given a first team break. To then allegedly want assurances of first team football or to be loaned out, was only gonna end one way.

Palmer was too far down the pecking order to be making such requests on Pep. You win some, you lose some.

 

[jrb]

Be aware of fat dodgy Greeks bearing gifts.

 

[SiMCFC]

Ok

The response of a mardarse. Similar to how my 6 year old responds when he has no counter to something. Pep makes mistakes.

No, im not his mummy, which bit is bollocks?

Ah, the lie your mate has come up with about him, dickhead, he needs to be careful as well, as his Family have seen what he posted Yesterday, bit stupid of him tbh.

Didn't he score in the Super Cup Final and the Charity Shield a few weeks before we sold him?
