James McAtee | Agreement with Forest - £30m overall

Seeing £20m will send anyone’s head west. But if that then includes a good buy back (avoiding another Palmer situation) / a huge sell on clause then it’s completely different.

He’s got a year left on his contract and he’s simply not going to play for us. I don’t think it’s a bad bit of business (providing the above)
 
We always wanted 25m for him, he's got 1 year left.

To get a buy back, match bid, sell on % like we have with others is great if thats what bought this down 5m.

40m was always ridiculous. Not really sure what happened there if it was us telling Forest to go fuck themselves or us trying to get more money from another team no idea, was never going to be 40m, always 25m.

Romano reporting he turned down several other offers also, so our hands are tied to a certain extent.

Lets wait for the the full deal to come out.

Yeah if he wants Forest then fair play. Wish Macca all the best, I think he'll develop into a great player!
 
He wanted Forest. When the reports about Germany was doing the round I said he wanted Forest.


Remaining close to his family was KEY!

And with Forest in Europe it was his priority move.
Do we have the deal we want tho, it seems odd that we reject 25m to then agree around 20m without something changing for us.
 
Got a great technique and an eye for a goal. Will not surprise me at all if he goes onto becoming very good for you especially at 20m+. Which, is why we will probably want a buy back clause.

Yeah the price dropping, if true, is strange. Forest have some massive sell-on clauses especially with Hudson-Odoi, so either that or a buy-back is likely.
