James McAtee | On loan at Sheffield United

[Impeccable One]

It just feels different when a local lad is playing for us. Imagine if we can get get to a point in 5 years time where we are the best team in Europe with 5 or 6 local lads in the team, unbelievable.

Great objective, 5 or 6 local lads. Of course, 3 or 4 will be life long United fans

Fantastic news. Can United fans put the crack pipe down now?

(Just to reiterate - he’s not a United fan)

Not this old shite again
He’s a blue, his brother who plays for Scunny is a red.
His own personal trainer confirmed this only the other week
Jay is actually a decent lad who generally knows his football and is usually non-partisan, despite being a red. But he has dropped a clanger there

What a fucking day. My erection has lasted longer than 4 hours

You need to get that checked but if you’re happy, carry on mate

 

[ancoats]

great news and happy for the lad. now its time to kick on into the first team and take a shirt
i love all this youth coming to fruit from the academy they said would be pointless spending money on ? how wrong can they be (the media).

Bit like " his club " then, although tbf it should read " clangers on a massive scale "

How many of our upcoming youth are manchester lads? Do we think there will be quite a few who break through who are United fans? Obviously it's irrelevant who they support as long as they give 100% but would be interesting

Andy Hinchcliffe and Paul Stewart from bygone days of yore

He’d have been stupid to leave at this current stage of development. Being coached by the best coach of this era, KDB and Gundo will be leaving sooner rather than later and he’s a ready made replacement for either. I’d love to see a Manchester born centre back breakthrough, where is Doyle from?

Doyle and Harwood-Bellis are both local lads

Tbf Pundit Jay is normally hugely complimentary of City and a massive critic of his own team, used to do some good tactical videos

 

[Eccles Blue]

When Bernardo signs as well then I’ll break out the (virtual) Champagne!!



(Actually a real bottle of Prosecco!)

You’re right this is not the City way, well is wasn’t but it is now.

A good day used to presage a self inflicted disaster to follow. No more. Typical City now means things done supremely well. Meanwhile, over at the swamp........
