[Albion] James McAtee - Bid rejected

[Bakero]

According to the Athletic, we've bid 8 mill for James McAtee, which Man City have rejected.

He's a 19-year-old attacking midfielder, in the mould of Foden, apparently. Made his first team debut in the Carabao Cup the other day, coming on at left back.

Why are we trying to by an internet security package from Man bloody Citeh? The 21st century never fails to confound me!

They are not going to sell to a title rival, are they

BTW I'm totally here for our real long term project of having every midfield player with "Mc" or "Mac" at the start of their name

Put in a bid for Kaspersky Schmeichel too.

Who can forget Brian 'Nobby' Norton?

As long as we don't end up managed by AVG then all's good

It took me a while to get that one. Very good.

If we keep signing players we'll end up with Avast squad.

Would rather have Mr Macadoo. As people of a certain age will know, he had the knackadoo.



Macadoo - is the man for you. He's your best bet.

Yes he can:

After his debut against Wycombe, McAtee told CityTV: “It was just a buzz. When I came on, I was smiling the whole way through. When I came on I went left-back.​

Pep said, ‘Can you play there?’. I said anything to get on the pitch and I just tried my hardest. "​

So many big name players in front of him at City, I can see why he would want a move. £8m seems like a lot for an un-tested teenager, but if he is anywhere near the player Foden is I suspect he'll be worth a fortune in a few years if he becomes a regular.

Good move by the club though, unsettles the player a bit and potentially provides a better pathway to first team PL football.

Is he big enough to be in firewall at free kicks?

It's almost as if we hadn't got a system for bringing our own youngsters through U16s, U18s, U23s and eventually the first team ....................

My mate's a city fan. He was going to see him the other week but he got a virus.
