Why the agression ? Why can't people express an opinion, then you can either ignore it or point out why it's wrong ? I know it's not the swearing and vitriol that some resort to, but can't we just discuss things in a friendly manner ? Come on, is that aggressive? Feels like last few contributions on this thread have been a bit dramatic. Good player no doubt. Think we’re relatively well covered there compared to other positions in the team so surely unrealistic to think we’d be in for him post Tino and Rudoni? Thanks joek - a post pointing out where you thought I was wrong, and not a "wet wipe" in sight.

Not harking back that long mate. Dean Hoyle V1 would have made this signing. Not sure of any of the ins or outs of it though are we? Were we ever interested? Was he ever interested in coming? Or is it all speculation? Other teams are allowed to sign players too. Think there’s a bit more to transfers than just DH says we can sign him or DH says we can’t sign him. I also remember the L1 days of DH sanctioning transfers left, right and centre. Got us out of the division eventually but not sure it made for great business.You really don't have to be bright to work this one out though Joe - and that is not an insult to you. At least half the clubs in the championship have been after this lad. Of course we were interested. The agent doesn't need to drum up interest - it was already there. The comment in bold... not sure what you're on about. Not sure it made for great business? Really?

We used to genuinely compete for talent like this. Sad. Tino is at least the same standard as I understand and we got him? You reckon?

The comment in bold... not sure what you're on about. Not sure it made for great business? Really? So the other 11 championship clubs that have all missed out on signing him - are they all lacking ambition etc, or is just that he can only sign for one of them. What makes you so sure that he’d have come to us if DH had given the ok for us to pursue it? Or how do you know he didn’t give the ok for us to pursue it and he just chose not to? Appreciate we’re going down a what if wormhole here but your first remark about ‘we used to genuinely compete for talent like this’ just felt a bit strange given that we’ve just signed Tino for a similar position. Bit defeatist for defeatist’s sake and another stick to hit the club with. That L1 comment - yes, was chatting bollocks there. Just meant that when we let Ternent sign three identikit midfielders in a week and then let Clark sign any Tom, Dick or Harry might have been interesting times for us but certainly didn’t guarantee success.

Mcatee should have been 2/4.

Mcatee should have been 2/4. Aaaaargh! Am frustrated that I can’t make myself understood here and this will be my last go. You seem to be assuming that the fact that Huddersfield Town FC failed to sign James Mcatee on loan is evidence of us not using all of our available loans to our advantage. But you also seem to be ignoring the fact that, as you stated earlier, lots of clubs were probably in for him. Seems arrogant to suggest that ‘he should have been our second loan’ as if it was our god given right to have signed him should we have been interested. That’s all I’m trying to say. You appear to be starting from the position that ‘he would have been ours if we’d wanted it to happen’ and I’m just questioning whether or not that’s a sensible starting point for this discussion. Phew.

There’s some absolute wet wipes on here. Why the agression ? Why can't people express an opinion, then you can either ignore it or point out why it's wrong ? I know it's not the swearing and vitriol that some resort to, but can't we just discuss things in a friendly manner ? If you think that’s aggressive you must’ve lived a pretty sheltered life. So people are allowed to whine like my 3 year old throwing a tantrum but I’m not allowed to express an opinion that this sort of behaviour makes someone a wet wipe? For what it’s worth i think McAtee seems like a better version of Rudoni and I’m not sure we need both. I’d rather have our own player even if he’s not quite as good - we’d probably pay the same fee for either of them. And Rudoni looks like he could be a good player we sell for a good few. Tino gives us a different option at a seemingly similar level. McAtee is quite small and might get kicked out of the game against someone like Luton. Tino is strong as an ox and will be able to bulldoze through gaps and take the odd kick. It’s centre midfield and up front where we’re missing.

There is late interest or so I'm told but think it's a bit too far gone now - depends what our proposal entails and who City trust their prospect with the most.

So i'm told made me chuckle. Well I could of just been told a huge lie There has to be interest purely based on what we were told earlier in the summer and I struggle to imagine a scenario any chairman particularly one who is a so called fan of the club can watch Friday night and not think we need reinforcements quickly.

We dont need him. We need Kasumu, or someone like him to replicate what he did for 11 minutes on friday, then our business is done.

Other clubs putting in better proposals, the departure of the head coach & the arrival of Anjorin may have pushed us down the pecking order.

As much as I'd have loved to see him here, I just don't see where he fits in the side. Unless DS is going to go with a more narrow system, where would he play. Rudoni and Tino aren't wingers and neither is he.
