Agree. I always think of it as if he wasnt one of ours (McAtee) would there be a clamour to sign him. I cant say there would. He is young and has a bright future but at this point he looks a really good championship player. He will get a chance in the PL no doubt but he should stick with SU next year - or Burnley with VK. Can also see PL clubs going in for Ndiaye as well - but not us.Good finish by McAtee... but oddly, the more I watched Sheffield United play (and it's tough)...
It's clear the best player on that team is Iliman Ndiaye, he is so good on the ball, and only 23 years old.
We never buy from the championship because of our standard but he is young enough and talented enough imo to give a chance on.
Wouldn't want to second guess Peps job of finding James' best position but one key difference with him and all the others when they go wide left (Cole, Phil, Ryhad) is none of the others really naturally drop a shoulder and drive left down the line whereas James can do that a bit more like say Leroy used to so for whats is worth i think he has an extra string to his bow there. Prefer the others central and righthe definitely has no room unless as a bit part water-carrier in the squad like cole palmer currently is. he plays in KDB's position like a no10. besides alvarez is also better 10 than mcatee. and he is definitely not playing as a 8 in pep's system. the likes of perrone and even gomez are natural midfielders compared to mcatee. best for his career to follow the footsteps of the likes of lavia.
Union Berlin?It would be interesting to see if we could get him a loan move to a foreign champions league team like Dortmund. That experience if he could break into the team would be priceless.
I don't know, I just don't see it.If we sell players like Macatee we’d 100% regret it. Players like him will save us millions. I’d also say if someone like Macatee isn’t at least given a chance that’s pretty poor considering his talent
He’d be great somewhere like Brighton. Had a decent world cup as well iircYeah he's very good. Really like him. Great touch as well.
I don't know, I just don't see it.
I'd be tempted to agree for most of our loan players, but didn't the club want him to stay?Agree. I always think of it as if he wasnt one of ours (McAtee) would there be a clamour to sign him. I cant say there would. He is young and has a bright future but at this point he looks a really good championship player.
