87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

[Norman kneejerk]

Well the media must be worried he's good because they are trying to sell him to Leverkusen. I'd imagine a very different reaction if a Liverpool or United lad had an excellent display. Always feel they really can't stand us having good young players.

I hope he gets a few starts so we can really see what he can do.

Hopefully he will get a few more appearances during January - will surely start against the mini-rags in the cup - which will hopefully make him happy to stay for the rest of the season rather than pushing for a loan/transfer in the Jan window.
I think he really has something and could be a replacement "pausa" midfielder who can also chip in with a few goals. He will probably have to spend time out wide before he is trusted in the middle but it was great to get a glimpse of what he can do.

I think he will be OK out wide because of that drop of the shoulder so can go both ways easily . Will be exciting seeing him and Oscar integrated. Oscar more inside maybe.

Feel like he’s gonna have a similar season to Bobb’s last season. Talent evident but may not be given the minutes by Pep but one that will eventually get given the time

Loving the McAtee chants at the end.

I was thinking the same .... that momentary split second blast of utter footballing genius, similar to Oscar up at St James's Park last season, will stay with us for years.

He has so many of the qualities we are lacking currently..

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

He reminds of Bernardo and I think he would suit being on the wing

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

I'd be very cautious about getting hopes up here..

Lets not forget Pep lost faith in him after Feyenoord and the door only opened because Foden was having a stinker. Props to him for taking his chance but I don't think Pep is the type of manager that rates someone on 1 good outing..

Maybe I'm wrong but I still think McAtee is too small for our midfield and his future lies elsewhere.
