Something about mcatee I'm just not having

Same.

Feels like our fanbase has just decided he’s great and we need to buy him but he seems a bit meh to me.

Neat and tidy but not much else.

Glad it's not just me in the McAtee is a blagger club

Sky Sports have Forest & Palace interested in him, they can have him

Our next biggest issue is RW for me.

Then its CM
Attacking Mid
RB

Not just any RW, a really pacy RW, who can whip in crosses from anywhere on the field.

RW choice will define the AM and the RB for me.

Either we:

1) Go for a pacey winger in which case we can go for a cheaper RB

2) Go for a creative RW type who drifts inside and can cover for CAM too but then we’ll need to go big on an attacking RB who can create the width

Have any of our released players found new clubs?

Usually leave it late free agents, don't they? Wait until better clubs are desperate at the end of the window.

We definitely need to address RW next... It needs to be someone who can whip balls in for Barry. So basically a right footed old skool pacey cross merchant.

Unless we have the cash to buy an RB who can do that and then we can have an inverted winger who's left footed cutting in whilst the RB overlaps... but given we seem to be looking at freebie RBs I'm not expecting this to happen.

As i keep seeing us being linked to be going back in for Harrison. Obviously we all want better and would rather he wasnt back here. What price would you be able to stomach us paying to buy him.

Feel like neat and tidy is a description that could be used for most of our midfielders for ten years. We need an Arteta type, even an Alan type would be ok.

Not sure anything would, shouldn't be anywhere near the team. You'd have to back it up with a head turning midfield purchase.

I don't think he'll be re-signed anyway.

It’s crossed my mind more than once that Harrison will be next, quickly followed by someone else. I hope I’m wrong.
