[Blue Alert]

McAtee for £15m is FIRMLY in the ‘too good to be true’ area. No way that comes to pass.

We need to really lean in on the Great Uncle Bally link, once Everton has touched you and all that.

Correct...why not?

It's nice story...As you say,we should lean into it.

Never heard of him.

Only seen him play a couple of times, but was hugely impressed. In fact, sent this in a WhatsApp chat a few months ago...

Never heard of him.

Boro captain. England youth international. Really came into his own under Carrick's mentorship. Plays a similar role to Carrick, too.

Hackney linked from boro. Looks like teams linked are london teams, abroad or us. Hopefully he wants to stay up north

It's not about length, it's how you use it.

You keep on believing that
I’m sure your missus thinks otherwise

He has a fun name. Should be enough reason to go for it.

…if we can collar him, I’d settle for that.

Great player him, can turn on a six-pence.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Decent player.

You can ask her yourself, mate. She lives with you!

This is very interesting. Comparison with Wharton at Palace who is very highly rated. Going off that they look different kind of players so not entirely sure why they’re being compared. But Hackney looks to lack in the defensive areas of the game so would need a defensive midfielder next to him. He excels at the forward parts of a midfielder though, progressive carries and passes in particular. Boro fans rave about him, always a good sign.

There was a rumour that City wanted a "buy back" so maybe he is £15m but they have an option to buy him back for like £25m

 

[gedefc]

looks good, ready for PL definitely

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Looks like he can carries the ball forward from midfield...something we lack desperately.

Looks decent enough but am not giving the link any credence if Sky are reporting though.
