You are right in one sense with giving our youth players a chance but Pickford has the advantage of having first team experience (albeit at a struggling Premier League club) and seems to be more ready. We aren't going to be short of keepers if Gunn is moved and if we stick at it eventually a few will be given a chance.

Sorry, but Gunn could not possibly do more at youth level to be given a chance, and he's been deliberately held back from loans to train with the first team. If he doesn't get a chance because of lacking first team experience when he's been deliberately denied that to help him come through, it's a complete farce.

Gunn should of at least had been given an opportunity in the EFL Cup but it is down to Guardiola's or any of managers judgement (as always) to be given that chance. I hope Gunn gets more of an opportunity next season once Willy goes.

Yes. I appreciate we got unlucky with draws, but Guardiola specifically mentioned Gunn's name in the summer when he said "all the keepers will need to play" when asked if Hart would get a chance to play if he stayed.
The kid has everything we want. He's a superb shot stopper, he's bloody massive, and he's been playing with his feet since he joined us and is good at it, and very familiar with the type of building from the back we are after.
If Willy is replaced, his chance here is gone.

It's a good motivating skill in keeping Gunn (or any of the EDS lads) on their toes. If there is any major injuries to our first or second choice then Gunn will be thrown in.

Oh please, that's bullshit. If we needed him in an emergency we could recall him from loan like Liverpool did with Danny Ward last year.
Or we could have him playing in the u21 league he's still qualified to play in.
There's nothing motivational about being told you'll get games and not getting them.

We got to keep them interested (most importantly focused) by keeping them at the club as long as possible but also we have to be realistic in giving them opportunities.We can't be throwing in the kids half prepared what I mean by is that they have to be regularly training with the first team and taking fully on board what Guardiola expects from them.

Donnarumma just get him in in the summer keep bravo for competition, release willy. Keeper sorted for the next 10 years. Like gunn but think he would have got some game time this year if pep truly rated him as a future no. 1. With willy likely to leave in the summer pep could have given gunn the nod in the minor cups.
If Gunn doesn't get chance just don't see point in having academy. Why any young player would come to City is beyond me. Champions league game against Celtic summed it up. Dead rubber match with nothing to play for and Gunn wasn't even on bench. Foden sub appearance probably PR stunt!

Your choice or Pep's choice?
i can't see Pep getting rid of him so he will be our NO1 GK.
Think I'm about to eat my words.
