James McAtee

Yes to Doyle, Archer I don't think will happen and I feel we've moved on from O'Brien.

Yes to Doyle
No to Mcatee/Palmer
Yes to Archer
No to Akpom

That what you want? Or think?
I reckon we'll get Doyle.
Archer would be an amazing but tough signing, and I highly doubt we'll get either of the City lads.

 

[LJBlade]

Pretty sure bothe Doyle and Mcatee said they don't envision themselves playing Championship football anymore in their careers.

Not saying they won't, but at this stage doubt they will accept a championship move.

When did they say this?

It's what I think (not ITK tho!)

I’d be very surprised if at least one of McAtee and Palmer aren’t available in the next couple of weeks on loan if City bring both of these in

 

[Keen Blade]

I wonder if the arrival of Hamer will persuade City to loan us one of the 3 so they can play alongside him ?

Ooh, I like that thinking. C'mon Pep, you know it makes sennse!!!

 

[BrisBlade]

Agree on this. Would still like us to get another keeper in if possible. Henderson doesn't look like he's going to Forest now - could we loan him?

Surprised we haven't gone for the Plymouth or Rotherham lads to be honest. Would love Amissah to get a good loan.

Hamer said he had his medical in Manchester. Why was he having his medical there and not Shirecliffe? Is it because TD was having his at the same time and they wanted to get both signed up at once?

I think they do medicals (or part of) at Claremont sometimes (or at least they did). So maybe they were full/busy?

Probably on strike

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Probably on strike

You believe we get Junior Doctors off the wards to perform our medicals?

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Wouldnt surprise me if a hospital porter did John Ebbrell's all those years ago

" How's thi ankle John lad? Not in pain or owt o tha?"

"It feels ok thank you"

"Reyt, tha's passed thi medical. Tha't orreight to play this Satdi"

 

[Dan Emery]

Yep - despite losing Ndiaye

But there's a chance now that we do all this good work, only to be let down by GK and LWB

Wonder if we could stretch to strengthen in one of those areas too. Doubt it. But that would be necessary to really complete this window

I know Lowe isn't rated especially but haven't we signed another LWB? If so, if RND is likely back in the next few months then why would we sign another? Am I missing something?

We had some news on RND?

I was joking Bob

 

[Dan Emery]

I'm just assuming (and yes, I know.....)

I thought that was strange as well why would you go all the way to Manchester for a medical.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Direct train from Cov?

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

The medical was for Man City. His agent texted him saying we'd outbid them, so he walked out of it.

 

[Latters]

We had some news on RND?

Yes, he’s improved massively since being injured, to the point where he’s a Premier League left wing back now.

Granted, he had improved before his injury, but only to “alright”. And that was as a left sided centre back.

Think we deffo look a much more attractive proposition than we did this time yesterday!

 

[bonobo]

'If' City do make McAtee available for loan, I wonder if being a more direct replacement for Ndiaye, will strengthen our hand despite being a weakened team. There were some rumours that City wanted him to play in a team that would have more possession, but while we won't ever dominate play, he would now be the first player we are looking to get on the ball in the final third, probably our main goal threat as well. I remember him saying, that he saw himself more as a forward playing off the centre forward, which is where he played for City's U23s.

Yeah, McAtee being the main guy on attack on a Premier League team should be the trial by fire City should be looking for for him. You don't want him to be just another guy, you want him to show that he can be the guy. Would also show how he handles pressure.

 

[Rocket Man]

Unsure if this has any knock on effect to palmer / macca loan options

 

[Wards]

Unsure if this has any knock on effect to palmer / macca loan options

They'll just go out and buy someone

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Unsure if this has any knock on effect to palmer / macca loan options

Think it'll rest on if they bring in Paqueta and Doku

 

[Rocket Man]

Might just push their release further down the window

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Neither Palmer nor McAtee are anywhere close to being a replacement for KDB

Who is??
But I get your point.
