I watched most of the recent under 21 England matches. 3 players I thought would complement our club. First has to be Harvey Elliot. If somehow we could hang onto MGW, what a trio of class we would have with Anfo as well. Hutchison played every match and is obviously thought of highly by the coach and would be a replacement for Elanga. I would have signed the Liverpool centre back who went to Germany for 45 m a first rate defender. Mcatee who is the only one linked with us, I didn't rate even though he was the captain, a man city primadona potentially.
Xenophobia maybe creeping in I admit. However any player signed from far overseas can take time to settle. Is MGW our best player - yes. If he sees his future career at City there is little we can do. Absolutely no way would I swop him for Mcatee. Even If it broke the bank, H Elliott is the only MGW replacement I would consider. Nevertheless we don't want to lose our best player and ideally have our cake and eat it!

Doc. I wouldn't say McAtee is a primadona mate. I watched with interest too as he's been linked with us for a while.
He's a young lad, not physically robust yet but he sees a great pass so I'd say he's a decent player. I don't see him any where as good as GW though and he's lacking pace. If we play the same formation as last season, I can't see McAtee suiting us but a change to 352 could work for both players.
I don't think we will change though so he would be a squad player and I can't see him coming for that so I'd look elsewhere.

GB Mcatee I said was a potential Prima Dona, I don’t really know. He could consider a step down coming to our club and may play accordingly. My worry is that he maybe used as a bargaining chip with MGW. Apparently MGW was not at the recent training session. Rumours are rife that he has already signed. If Forest can legitimately spend some money let’s go for Harvey Elliott. A potential MGW equal but with an eye for the goal. Am I the only one who wants to see the best home grown players at our club?

Doc. I would love to see a couple of home grown players come through, I think we all would.
I better version of Ryan Yates. can you imagine how popular he'd be.
