Fuck that, just pay the money and keep McAtee.

Agreed,the sale of Jesus will cover this transfer anyway

 

[Withnail]

Brighton isn't the worst of clubs to loan McAtee out to but the problem is how much game time he would really get.

Potter is an excellent coach and they play some decent football. A loan to Brighton where McAtee gets some game time in the PL would not be a bad move.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Tolmie was right and 40-50m seems to be it

Fine, hes not getting any games here next season and hes above PL2 now.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Brighton doesn’t usually do loans but I trust Tolmie and Blackburn on this.

 

[RayCTID]

Loads if he’s Lallana’s understudy.

I am not so sure even with Graham Potter in charge but still an opportunity.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Rob Dawson is far more reliable than bloody Alex Crook!! Crook is the usual rag supporting media bullshitter

Blackburn now said 40m+. Guessing it’s guesswork between 35-50m by now and a loan with McAtee involved would be lowering it some

 

[TheBlueCat]

why? I'd loan out McAtee either way.

people are wary of the "loaning" stuff by saying they never return to the first team - but we never loan to a premier league team, so this is different. he has every chance to come back to the first team.

McAtee looks a real prospect. No disrespect to Brighton but he can learn more training with the first team. If he’s good enough he will thrive. Foden did. If he can’t reach that level then he won’t be with us..

Hot take but I think foden would have been just fine with a one year loan in the PL as well! Sure, it worked out great as is, but I think it would have worked out just as well had he been loaned in 18/19.

I just think McAtee will make it here either way so I am okay with loaning him out

The issue with loans is that unless they are stars, the loaning club won’t play them much as they’d rather develop their own youngsters.

Brighton is a better for McAtee than Southampton though.
