The issue McAtee has that Foden didn’t is that he’s a number 8. It takes Pep a lot longer to trust his number 8s than wide forwards.
Even if he goes out on loan, he’d still need to gain Pep’s trust, so it might be better for him to stay with us and see if an injury crisis hits us.

Laughter when the offer came in,There are a couple of ironies about Manchester City’s pursuit of Marc Cucurella.
The bidding has been opened at £30 million for Albion’s player of the year.
It is a figure which is considered ridiculous by the top figures at the Seagulls.
It is said there was laughter when the offer came in.
City playing catch-up with Cucu - so why not offer what he is worth?

Albion have told Manchester City they will have to up their game considerably if they are to land Marc Cucurella.
But the door has not yet been closed on the Premier League champions as they bid to sign the Seagulls’ player of the year.
Albion quickly rejected a £30 million offer from City for Cucurella.
City must up their game to get Cucu - but door is not closed on them yet

Liked Curled ,but sadly my abiding memory is at Upton Park half hour late ,just got in behind right behind the goal and see him blast a pen high and wide to keep the score at 1-0 down.Think we lost 4-2 ,horrible drive back ,which was often the case then.

Thought the idea of selling Jesus & Sterling from our side of the deals was that McAtee & Palmer would get more game time at City. What was the point of McAtee signing his new contract to go out on loan

Signing his contract was to make sure a development path was in place, whether here or on loan wasn't a concern just he'd be given the best option if/when needed.
The position is he''ll stay unless someone rocks up with a bunch of promises on coaching, role and game time and its better than here. We can only guarantee a couple of those this season.

Even if you think £30m is less than his worth, it is hardly derisory. How many fullbacks in world football have cost more? Derisory would be around £5m.
I can only think you do not understand what negotiation is. Do you honestly think City management are going to open the bidding with the maximum they will go to? If you were the only buyer, would you match the seller's price straight away? It's business so I would suggest you do not take it personally.
Adding; I’ve no idea if this is his usual # or something.

Thinking that McAtee is worth an insulting £10m & EXPECTING City to pay 3 times what you paid Getafe
Hilarious
At the same time we sold Lavia for £10m whos a def midfielder & Bazunu for £17m, rejected £17m from Notts Forest for Kabore & £20m for Delap There again you probably think Cucurella is worth more than Phil Foden
