I'm not really a massive fan of McAtee but he's English, versatile, a couple positions we need, young. So I couldn't really pick it apart if we did go for him.
I'm very bias on him as remember watching him for City's U18s years ago and just loved him. His movement in and around the box was just different class in youth football and I've seen enough glimpses of that at Senior level.

Think he would fit our system so well and I could see him being a double figure goals a season midfielder soon
 
I don’t think it would fade away, he will want to prove himself and I’d be amazed if he didn’t back himself to be playing regularly this season. If he’s not I think he’d leave to get games.
I guess we will see… but looking at the level of signings I personally think the best he can hope for is a place on the bench… but you never know with Luke..

I'm of the opinion on O9..the lad loves playing..for him to play a bit part is not fair on him. If he has the chance of regular first team football elsewhere, he should take it... He will always be a legend at Sunderland, nothing will ever change that..but I would hate for his career to fade away at Sunderland not playing
Only he would know if he would be happy being a squad player , if he got the opportunity to get in to the first eleven it would be in his hands to tie a position down but I would hate for him to be discarded for what he has given to the club .

That's sort of been my hesitation towards him, moves beautifully and gets into great positions - but I feel like he makes the wrong decision around the box and his finishing lacks for me.

It's stuff he has to work on and easy enough to improve, but right now I'm slightly hesitant about him for that reason.

Would come down to transfer fee for me, wouldn't want to go OTT on him but feel there's a real gem there if we can develop him right
