Kasey McAteer

[KFS]

5m will do imo 

[LFEFox23]

Take £5m and RUN!!

[Edingleyfox]

Did start really well last season and scored a great goal vs Liverpool. Might prefer a loan

He would have to sign a new contract to make it worth loaning him out next season.

Exactly loaning him out with 12 months left on his contract would not seem a bright move for the Club.

[Claudio Fannieri]

I can see us extending his contract for at least a couple of years but maybe cash in on him next summer if he does ok on loan. 

[Ric Flair]

£3m and a 30% sell on would be adequate.

[Foxes with Sprit]

This kid is really good.  Would be sad to see him go.

[K789]

Think he's a decent mid to upper champ player do good luck to him

[Lambert09]

I still don’t know what his best position in but the prem is a step too far imo.  

 

Very hard to tell if his talent was showing itself or if he was riding on the coattails of what Maresca was building. 

 

But deep down, I get the feeling that both Marcal and mcateer were benefiting from Maresca and wouldn’t have stood out if we’d been a struggling side.  They could both do with a championship loan for us to find out. 

 

The one thing that Mcateer has, that can’t be taught,  is a natural finishing ability. Because of that I’d expect him to carve out a decent career for himself in the efl at least. Reminded me of a young Andy King with some of those late arrivals to box and composed finishes. The liverpool one was a thing of beauty. But the flip side, I think he was given more space early on as players focused stopping other players we had

Keep him for squad depth and as buffer if we go down. The lad clearly loves being at City and has some potential, I’d keep. Not going to get much better for the price and we still have a thin squad in the attacking positions and he can cover a few. 

[Vindaloo FOX]

Loan him out 

[ccfcmart]

Nothing concrete but I know we're interested

[STUHILL]

Very likeable player, but can't help feel that the Championship is his limit. 

Hope he proves me wrong, but I'd take the cash now if enough is on offer. 

[TommyK]

Get a buy back in there or a % of sale. That's what all the cool kids are doing. 

[Bergen fox]

Loan to a championship club where he will get maximum game time.
revaluate the situation where we are as a club and his performances for the season.

Maybe... but we could very well be IN the championship next year. If we loan him out to a team already there, has a good season with lots of gametime... he could be a good asset to have if we DO go down. 

[Phenom]

Unless we’re getting 10 million, I would rather keep him as cover than sign someone like Salemakers for 15 million + high wages.

Loaning him serves of no purpose .. needs to be in squad if not being sold cannot afford to loan anyone squad too bare 

[Dandy king]

Too many happy to write him off too early for a couple of million, as often happens with young players. Enzo saw something in him and had a great start before injury. I think he deserves more time as has looked good more often than not and has excellent traits like speed and strength.

Certainly don’t think we can afford to loan anyone that can score a few goals.

[filbertway]

"McAteer would be a brilliant signing" has thrown me

 

[filbertway]

If we loan him out, the cover will be blown and he's going nowhere for nothing. If we can get a few million while his stocks at the highest it will ever be, then we should go for it.

The squad isn't too bare to loan out a player like McAteer.

Yep. I get the feeling 80% of posters here really don't rate him. 20% (or maybe less) see a lot of potential there, and he can be a good PL player. Time will tell no doubt.
