Not if they impress enough to be the first name on the team sheet, it's called a challenge. It's up to McAtee now.

99.9% sure he’s not making it here. The next few months determines how much we will get for him.Not if they impress enough to be the first name on the team sheet, it's called a challenge. It's up to McAtee now.
Leicester under maresca was the best option and by all accounts the player was in Leicester ready to sign when he charged his mind and requested a return to Sheffield. Small time imo and shades of Patrick Roberts returning to CelticHe wasn't going to go to a top premier league team and get regular football.
The current teams in the bottom half are not pulling up any trees
The Evertons, Bournemouths, Brentfords etc. may not have been any better of a fit for McAtee.
I'm guessing the thinking was that he had settled in at Sheffield United and this season was an opportunity to see how he would do with a Premier league team.
He still has 3/4 of a season to show what he can do.
Don't think it's that simple, he's chosen to go back yes, but also to play at a higher level every week in a team that you know will probably struggle. How is it small time to back yourself like that? Leicester was the easier option.Leicester under maresca was the best option and by all accounts the player was in Leicester ready to sign when he charged his mind and requested a return to Sheffield.

It might turn out the wrong decision for his development, but the season is long, we don't know what will happen yet. Early signs aren't good but a lot can change

Yep and I bet McAteer is regretting it now! Leicester are after just 11 games 10 points clear of 3rd spot! They are going up and probably with a record amount of points!

He's decided to test himself against PL teams and players, running riot in the 2nd tier in a team that were always going to dominate will teach him nothing new. I'll bet he's not regretting it at all.Yep and I bet McAteer is regretting it now! Leicester are after just 11 games 10 points clear of 3rd spot!

@M16 citeh Small time? Deciding to play in the PL for a team that were always going to struggle or a team that may as well be declared champions before they've kicked off the season in Scotland? Strange comparison TBH.

Years ago I'd probably been saying the same but confidence and a winning mentality when young is what will keep you at the top as a player! Playing in the Leicester team winning week in week out confidence growing playing the way pep plays would make him more likely to end up playing for city! Having 40% of the ball a few touches here or there and getting beat week in week out and hammered in game as well will set him back years!
I think you're wrong there.Leicester under maresca was the best option and by all accounts the player was in Leicester ready to sign when he charged his mind and requested a return to Sheffield. Small time imo and shades of Patrick Roberts returning to Celtic
Going back to the championship was not showing any ambition or progress.
Leicester are no better than they were last year, just better than the rest of the championship.
Won yesterday with goals by Iheanacho and Vardy.
The 3 top teams from last years championship are really struggling so far.
He has taken on a challenge and it is now up to him to take that chance.
Outside of Leicester, where he could he have gone that would be seen as an improvement.

Getting beat week in week out playing a totally different type of football to what we play was the wrong move and he only went there because of his experience last season him being loved by the fans!
If you think that is the case, then that is our clubs fault, not McAtees. Por management if we are allowing players to go to unsuitable clubs.Getting beat week in week out playing a totally different type of football to what we play was the wrong move and he only went there because of his experience last season him being loved by the fans!
He is not good enough to get regular football with teams in the top half of the Premier league.
He probably wouldn't even get regular football at Everton or Wolves and they are hardly followers of our brand of football.
