Not an impressive stat when he’s played double the amount of games mind. He is a player we should avoid imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Just been reading an article about James Mcatee being unsettled at Man City. Not enough playing time and wants to leave. Similar situation to Cole Palmer and oddly enough similar sort of profile, as far as being a lefty that plays number 10 or on the right. Has also played CM and CF, so pretty versatile. Tends to look really good for the under 21s when he goes away with them too. Looked good coming on the other day against Leicester. I wonder if he's on our radar and if we'd be interested. Having seen what's happened recently with the likes of Palmer and Delap, I'd be very tempted. Especially with how the Lewis Hall transfer has worked out for us too. I'm a big fan of nicking these highly rated prospects from Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal, if they are looking to leave for more playing time, as their academies are so good. 22 years old too, so a good age to really kick on now. Could he be a right wing option perhaps? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14230571/Man-City-James-McAtee-Cole-Palmer.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely while he's shit at the old goal scoring I think he would offer a different dimension, can hold ball up well and good in the air, could bring others into the game and a physical player.

The main thing he'd offer is an alternative if Isak is out injured. Because Osula is clearly not considered good enough to be thrown in yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I can't believe Calvert-Lewin is still only 27, assumed he was pushing 30. If he's cheap it's a spare body if Osula isn't trusted yet. A new Chris Wood I guess, but hopefully less relied upon. However, while I understand they'd be coming from relegation battlers, would the likes of him and Walker-Peters be prepared to move for a bench role?

nufc4eva Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Maybe a right winger and backup centre half as well, would also like a new keeper but know will probably only get to sign 1 player if any in Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted out and it's a similar scenario here. The fee being mentioned is £25 million, as his contract is up in 2026, so it won't be a big fee. When Chelsea signed Palmer no one was saying he was a potential mega talent or sure thing, that wasn't said about Delap either, and we weren't saying that about Hall. It's going to come down to being a judgement call by the scouts. He's highly thought of prospect and so hopefully we've got decent info on him.

Armchair Pundit Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 While not expecting anything, it would be great if we actually got some early 'big' business done this window, for a change. Definitely need a right winger, striker and probably a right-sided central defender (who could possibly play as backup at right-back). Question is, who?

Palmer still had another 3 years to run on his at the time he left. In addition, he is not an actual clone of Cole Palmer! Despite being a promising prospect himself, he probably isn't as far along as Palmer was when he left for Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it would be great the club was able to look at 3 in I think unless it's unknown bargains or us venturing into the loan market I feel it will be 1 in 1 out unless it's to pad the youth/development squad. The Upturn in results unfortunately don't change this seasons financial predicament and while it may be opportunity lost to capitalise while the good feeling is back it's hardly possible based on what the club have been banging on about the last few months leading to this window.

I remember Pep saying at some point that Palmer had been asking to leave for two years prior to that. All these clubs that spend loads, but that also have good academies, usually end up not giving enough of their young talent opportunities to come through. They are very impatient. Palmer, Lavia and Delap are serious talents that they let leave, and there will be plenty more to come. We should be keeping a close eye on that continuously.

buzza Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Our main priorities (in rank) are right wing, rcb and a striker. If we went for a striker/right winger (mbuemo) we could save ourselves a fair bit on a back up striker, having him and gordon for cover. Can see some up and coming youngish talents instead of purples tbh.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) If we could get a right sided forward such as Dibling/Bakayoko would be a huge boost for the remainder of the season. I get the impression it’s wages where we’re sailing close to the wind on for PSR, if we could shift a couple off the wage bill it might give us room to do something.
