Mcateer can’t get anywhere near.. 15:43 - Aug 21 with 3016 views | SlimTeaBoy | The Leicester team, but somehow he’s linked to us. Screams desperation and panic buying this late on. If he’s that good, there is no way they would want to sell after relegation. |  | | |  |

He's right though, McAteer is way off the level Ipswich need to be targeting, he is very lacking in some key areas of being a footballer, especially technically, and destined to become a lower league journeyman. For those saying he has a lot of Leicester appearances, the vast majority are from the bench, he's always been a bit part player at Leicester.

I watch a lot of football but it always amazes me how many of you know random players in depth. |  |

....if a footballer has the "raw materials" to make it (which I think you may have indicated on a previous thread) but struggles "technically" then there is every chance he can improve. Particularly if he is coached well and shown how to improve his technique. Have you considered that perhaps he has just been badly coached by your bunch of managers, who lets face it apart from Maresca, have been totally hopeless in the last few years. If he does sign, which is not a given, then I guess we'll see. Either way, it's hardly going to be a lot of money to us, and it'll help (in a small way) you lot with your financial woes. So chin up. |  |

Good? The bloke highest goal scoring tally is 7 in the championship. Would say that’s very poor |  | |  |

49 games in the last 2 years. 7 goals in the Championship as a winger. He must be s**t to score 7 from the bench from 20 odd matches. |  |

That's equivalent to saying Delap is poor because he'll only make appearances from the bench at Chelsea. It all depends on who's ahead of you in the squad. |  | |  |
Mcateer can’t get anywhere near.. on 16:15 - Aug 21 with 1846 views | homer_123 | Kasey McAteer by homer_123 21 Aug 11:33I understand where you are coming from but......lest we not forget that most players under KM have significantly improved (I'm not saying all) as players and people, a lot of players themselves have noted this.
If we take McAteer, on the face of it, possibly not good enough for Leicester under recent managers but under Kieran, maybe he might be a different player altogether.
Just a consideration. |  |

Poor for an attacking midfielder/ winger. Who according to those that have seen him is mainly a sub. I'd say that's a tidy return. [Post edited 21 Aug 16:19]

You clearly have no idea about football. Do you class 5 minutes against Preston last weekend as an appearance ? From mid January till april he never started a game , and wasn’t involved in the squad for 8/9 matches. Do your research. |  | |  |

49 during last season and the season before fella. Better check your own facts before you make even more a fool of yourself. |  |

I'm sure you think you're being edgy with your posts, but with comments like this you just come across as being a bit of a twonk. |  | |  |
Mcateer can’t get anywhere near.. on 16:41 - Aug 21 with 1491 views | Swansea_Blue | The thing people seem to be forgetting is that we need a replacement for Broady. He’s left us short of a player with curly hair in a squad that didn’t have many to start with. So it’s obvious why we’re interested in McAteer. That’s my take anyway. |  |

Mcateer can’t get anywhere near.. on 16:44 - Aug 21 with 1462 views | bluelady | or hows about out of favour and still very young player (with Prem experience) whose career has temporarily stalled seeks a move to a superior club led by a young manager renowned for bringing the best out in players.....

Do you not see the chronic irony in this comment in regards to the topic of the post? You're telling people they don't understand and to do research - while questioning the club, who very much do understand and have also very much done their research, that they are wrong to pursue this player. Perhaps it is you who should do some research and stop basing your entire opinion of a player based on number of appearances. |  | |  |

Lots of boxes ticked there. Quick, good work rate, good finisher, great character. The main problem seems to be uncertainty around his best position. Sounds like a flexible option that KM could improve. |  |

Interesting its like they are split between those that like to have a scapegoat and want all players to be firing on all cylinders at all times (and are totally unforgiving) and think they are capable of landing Messi.... and those that have a very balanced view and are prepared to see potential in players and back them. I've no idea where i have seen a similar environment........... Oh! |  | |  |
