It's quite obvious that the youth set up is more to do with coining in money than bringing through our stars of the future.
One or two will make it but the vast majority will end up having careers elsewhere
 
We can put this one to bed now. This isn’t me laying any blame on him for the capitulation but every time I watch him, it’s the same. He doesn’t believe he belongs at this level. It’s time the fans stopped believing it too.
 
By the way, this is the lad some have said was the solution to some of our problems...he had 2 seasons with a significant inferior team, and he never showed there was a top PL player in him. Not his fault, but City is not his place.
 
Leeds look like they are gonna come in with a bid in January and he may go .
Unfortunately he won’t be missed.
He needs a fresh start with a new club where he won’t be overawed by the likes of KDB and Haaland.

He will be very good, just not in a City shirt I don’t think
 
Found out why Pep doesn't trust him.. can't hold onto ball in the pockets.. Gundo is slow and 34 years old but looks way better than McAtee in the middle.

And after Gundo went off and McAtee came on.. we lost control of the middle.

What?! The pass too him was ridiculous. He also hasn’t played a game in a month. He’s going to lack sharpness and confidence.

McAtee was given the ball by Gvardiol when he had 3 men around him. Lad hasn’t been given any time on the pitch since October 30th, even when two games have been dead for around a collective 40 minutes, so digging him out is a bit unfair.

This is City.. if you can't keep the ball with 3 men on you.. you're not good enough especially for the middle!
 
Not up to standard even when the standard is so low at the moment.
Hopefully Leicester are still interested and we can get a few quid in for him to put towards some of the other players we need

What on earth is this post. Let’s stop believing in a young player and let’s write him off after not playing at all.

Hes not going to get any game time is he, lets just be honest with the situation. If the current form keeps going and we end up signing several players, hes even further away. Let him go, as we have done lots of others.

I never said he was going to, but I’m not writing off a talented young player based on 25 minutes where the entire team gave up. I wouldn’t do that with any youngster

He doesn’t believe in himself, why should we believe in him? He’s a young kid but he’s not new to top flight football. He was on loan at Sheff United playing PL football and he hasn’t kicked on at all. He still looks like an 18 year old, getting his debut. Now it looks like he’s going in Jan. Hes not doing anything here.

He doesn’t believe in himself because he has been treated like crap.

How do you know that?

Of course you should believe in him. He’s a city player, fans usually get behind their own players, especially from the academy

He looks like he’s not played football in a month. The odd 25 minutes once in a blue moon isn’t enough to gain confidence or show any kind of form.

What exactly are you expecting from him, with no game time
