[Albion] James McAtee - Bid rejected

[Cowfold Seagull]

Is the transfer window open again already?

I know, baffling isnt it?

 

[Springal]

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 ....................

He would be an U23 to bring through though

I rather think he meant without having to stump up the £8m or whatever the figure was to bring him into our system.

"Not for sale at any price"

They don't need the money, can only see it happening if he forces it but sounds like Pep wants to keep him.

 

[Badger Boy]

They would need the money if they still wanted to buy Harry Kane. They'd need to raise some cash through sales and selling off younger players is very much in their business model, although I think they're likely to want a buyback clause like Chelsea wanted in the Livramento deal that we ultimately didn't do.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

My mind is slightly blown by how big our budget is for these youngsters. Hope we can get him

As a young player it must be double difficult to break though at City. Even a player as good as Jadon Sancho had to move on to get his chance.

I suspect we will be a very tempting option for the lad, our excellent recent record of blooding youngsters will be a weighty factor.

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

I heard we were after a bitdefender

 

[Bakero]

Is it? It would be a bit remiss if we left any transfer dealings until the window was open.

 

[Smirko]

How long left on his contract? anyone know?

It could start a Trend

Still a while yet … till Summer 2023.

Less tempting for youngsters if we keep doing this - working their way up through the youth ranks, only to have the club fork out millions of pounds to bring in someone to queue jump them!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

A mate of mine's dad used to be the script editor for Granada TV's 'The Dustbin men' and he says the lad's shitehouse.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Certainly would be a step up for the lad.

Really? . . . your mate's dad must be about 97 now then.

My cat has been doing the dirty with a City supporting neighbours cat, but he hasn't said anything because he's a cat and can't talk.

Teddy Jenks must be loving life at Aberdeen.All the homophobic abuse,not being a regular starter and all the time knowing that his chances of ever making the team here are virtually zilch!!

18 months ago he was training with the first-team squad!!

 

[Whoislloydy]

Mates a city fan and says he's the real deal, along with Cole Palmer probably the hottest prospect in their academy but wants a clear path to first team football. Problem City have is their academy is stacked, but so is their first team. Chelsea have a similar problem.

As long as we don't give MC a Fee that's too big.
