on tough streets of over officiated top flight football.
Imagine this kid on one wing and Ndiaye on the other. We'd win the lot

If he was a success with us and City wanted him back, so be it.
Any clauses City wanted including would surely reduce the initial cost as well.
The only problem i'd have with signing McAtee would be where does he play and instead of who.
The one i really want is Oscar Bobb. He looked like City's best player at times before his injury. Probably the best option we could realistically get for the right wing spot. Previous Message
I don't know much about him but this isn't the type of player we should be targetting.
City will put in all sorts of clauses favourable to them and not us meaning that if we develop him well it'll be no more than a glorified loan deal and they'll take him back in a year or two.
And players we're giving valuable Premier League minutes/hours to, if they turn out to be a gem it has to be us benefitting from that, not City.
Same goes for the likes of Doak. Liverpool will want top dollar off us, and I guarantee they'll put in a 50% sell on again meaning we're developing players for the Sly 6.
Where are our scouts turning up actual gems at lower league clubs? Taking academy players off the Sly 6 is a mug's game. Previous Message
seems reasonable.
McAtee for €20 million and Oscar Bobb on loan would be awesome. And much more sensible than say Grealish and Stones.
