Quoted from Poojah
McAtee came off the bench again last night in Luton’s friendly match away at Ipswich, in Colchester (no idea why).

A fair bit of chatter on the Avenue of Evil that he might well make the 25 man squad, too.


May well be a case of playing with better players allows to use his undoubted natural ability. It is often hard for us to judge how good a player is, or rather how good he could be, when performing for Town as obviously he is surrounded by players who are playing at their correct level subject to their ability.

As I stated earlier in this thread I don’t doubt his ability but picking up on the rumours that circulate on different networks it’s his attitude and maybe more importantly his level of commitment that is questionable.

Maybe given his brother appears to be making into Man City’s squad this season a bit of sibling rivalry will ensure John achieves his potential.

When all's said and done, Luton thought enough of him to pay a fee for him. Not a big fee, but I think Luton know what they are about, seeing as they have climbed from Non League to Premier League on a small fan base, and I would imagine, not a massive budget.

They have obviously got a very good recruitment model, picking up players for modest fees and getting the best out of them.

I hope he has a great career and proves a few doubters wrong.

In the Premiership? I’d be surprised!

He may well make it as a solid League One - possibly even Championship - striker… but I’d be amazed if he has the quality to play in the Premiership! Remember, his best football for us wasn’t even in the football league. There is a huge difference between doing it against Dover and doing it against Manchester City.

Well if he does manage a few Prem games for Luton he’ll be worth a lot more if they ever let him go.
This would be beneficial for us assuming we’ve got a sell on clause

If that’s the case, let’s hope he puts Haaland in his place…

Quoted from forza ivano


Dunno why you got 3 red crosses for a sensible post. I agree, watching Jude Bellingham for the first time was the same
In life Forza I feel you cant please everyone.Nigh on impossible  .

As for Jude Bellingham by all accounts has started well and Carlo Ancelotti is pleased so far. Hope he can handle the pressure though at Real Madrid.That club is probably the best in the world. The wages they pay are something else.Average wage there is £8.5 million annually .


One life,one love .
