Will be interesting to see how he goes, I think he could really do well if introduced gradually.. rather than just thrown in.

Had hoped we might go for him.
 
Another hype believer eh. I suppose you thought Balogun would have the Champo on toast as well. But this is a 46-game slog, not Football Manager. Experience counts.
I think if McAtee is given some EFL games, then some sub time & introduced gradually into the Championship he could really be a quality addition, he certainly seems to have excellent vision & an eye fo goal - even if at a lower level so far. His technique looks excellent & way above his years.

Choudhury, combative no doubt, though always seemed one takle away from a red card.
 
Loads of different posters mentioning McAtee - He's played 40 minutes of professional league football.

If the exact same player was at Fulham instead of Man City you wouldn't even know his name.
 
Didn't know who he was. I had to Google.

I'm not sure why we've 'missed out?'

We've been burned so many times with these 'amazing' U23s. U23 football (prem league 2) is pretty woeful stuff. I've watched a few bits and you can honestly watch 5 mins and not see a tackle.

It's a long way from Jake Cooper or Shaun Morrison clattering into you 😂

People suggesting him over a bloke with 50 PL games and 10 in the Europa. Madness.

I remember going to Sheff Wed away last game of the season a few years ago... Christian Burgess was our CB against a 34 year old Steve Howard up front for Wednesday.

It was Burgess's professional debut... He posted a picture of his shins/ankles on twitter after the match.... If you can find the tweet, that's why u23 players struggle to make it in the championship.
 
I'm not so sure Choudhury is the answer. He could be one of those who looks better having played with decent players, but when you put him in a regular champo team, he doesn't look like he could make a difference and is similar to the other players. He is a completely different sort of player to McAtee, who is more of a ball player, whereas Choudhury is a destroyer type. I'm sure we are working on our own midfielder reinforcement.
 
The beauty is - we will see in the season ahead, at least how he can do. With, maybe, some luck we might get to see how HC can do in this league.
