Kasey McAteer (gone to Ipswich, official. 12m.)

[honeybradger]

Selling him would be good business but he doesnt deserve the mocking he's getting on here.

 

He's done well to establish himself as a championship player, scored a goal at PL level and surprised a lot of us. Maybe he will surprise us again, although it is best that he gets a fresh start elsewhere for his sake and ours.

Screams of them knowing we are in deep shit, and buying someone who might make them some money in a couple of years time.

Worked well for George Hirst

[moore_94]

Still needs to find what his best position is, I just don’t think he is a winger

 

Sell if we get a decent offer

[frany104]

Sell sell sell

 

He is so unbelievably poor.

He has his limitations but he's very hard-working and is a better finisher than Daka (though admittedly that's a low bar to clear). It wouldn't surprise me to see McKenna turn him into a very useful player.

This. Quite why our local talent gets so much abuse is astonishing. Plenty of purchases to knock if you have to be negative

[teblin]

I'm guessing if the fee is fairly decent, it would mean we'd be under less pressure to sell someone like Abdul.

Bet we end up flogging him for half what we could've got last summer

Didn't we turn down about £8m in January?

[Aleksz]

Honestly, I know some of you lot hate this squad, rightly so, but do you honestly back this club to sell half of its squad and replace it in two weeks? Every single thread is met with a conclusion of "sell", Absolutely baffling.

there’s many different ways we are entitled to be upset with the owners. Selling McAteer isn’t one of them.

Going all Athletic Bilbao and keeping players on the books just because they were born in the county doesn't seem like the strongest transfer strategy for us at the moment TBH.

[Groby_Blue]

In good times or bad, we always sell the lads. 

 

Starting to feel really sorry for Marti now, yet another manager who looks like he's having the rug pulled from under him. 

 

[Finn Claw II]

Want him to do well but Abdul, Mavi and Monga are all above him.

 

I think he could improve but needs to play week in, week out and work out where his best position is.

 

just means game time for BDR….

Ah yes it was January. All these shit windows merge into one in my head

 

[Grebfromgrebland]

I think once he's out of our toxic club he'll thrive.

[Nugent]

Get rid! 

[Fox-LMA]

Not a fan of selling to a divisional rival.

 

Plus I rate him. he's one of the few players we have that can get into goal scoring positions. Despite having a limited technique.

 

I don't expect our players to be brilliant, or win beauty contests. But I do expect them to be effective. Which Kasey can be. Maybe thats what Ipswich sees in him.

I'm all for the club making income from selling average players 

 

But I question where Is the money going because I'm not a fan of selling players whilst we bring no-one in 

 

It stinks 

[MPH]

I can confirm a great Anglia train left Ipswich this morning and arrived at Liverpool street station. Shortly after, a train left St Pancreas and arrived in Leicester 30 ago. Taxi seen leaving Leicester train station. Whereabouts unknown..

[Levi Port]

I feel uneasy with this, I think there is a good player there who can score goals.
 

Also a really good lad, hard working and local. 
 

We’ve probably only got one more year left of Fatawu also and then it’s his time. I’m not sure 

[kingfox]

How weird and random. 
 

Big admirer of Kasey’s work rate, but in terms of 1 vs 1 ability he isn’t good enough and not really a Marti type winger.

[Haywood_6]

We'll have less players than Sheffield Wednesday soon! Having said that I'd definitely sell. CLEAR EM' OUT

Edited 21 August 2025 by Haywood_6

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

Sell straight away. He's simply not good enough 

[UniFox21]

Decent rotation option 

[adejo92]

Whatever it is, Take It.

[LCFCCHRIS]

Gotta be 10m surely minimum in this market??
