I see all the 10p scouts have him marked as a flop with a poor attitude, City have a manager that hates poor attitudes and ships those players out asap.
Yet Cole is still here, retained ahead of others who were sent out on loan, you really think he has a bad attitude.
Strange.
Well, you can't read very well then, I could have added your judgment of no fire in his belly if you wanted.I haven't seen any accusations of a poor/bad attitude.

That is equally as bad tbh
What you state here is a long way from claiming a player has no fire in his belly like you did a page or three back.No it isnt,not remotely.
It means exactly what i've spelled out.......he needs more aggression and fight in his game,knowing when to switch on and learning an awareness that only comes with experience.....it has nothing to do with a 'bad' attitude....he just needs to reprogramme his approach somewhat.Spending too long in the EDS or on the bench will not have aided him on that score.
McAtee was very similar (before the Blades environment woke him up,and taught him physicality) many of our academy kids are,they get into a comfort zone playing at that standard,and when they eventually move on or get an opportunity at a higher level..... they need something of a rocket up their arse to reignite the spark.
I'll repeat,as it seems its necessary......The kid is super talented,the raw ability is there,he just needs to learn the dirty side.
He should have gone on loan 12 months ago (another repeat).

Other people have said he has a poor attitude on a couple of posts up said a poor mental attitude lol if he has a poor mental attitude he would be nowhere near our first team training pitch.
As for McAtee, we will have to see what it taught him if he gets a chance to do so.
There will be a reason he didn't go out on loan, an injury early in the season cost him dear and possibly upset whatever plan Pep had in mind for him.
We will never know now.
Though my post was mainly for all the people seemingly gleeful in their knowledge that he is a flop and will never make it at City.
Now that is just weird from fans of a club.
Do remember, I only posted about people saying he had a bad attitude, you jumped in at this point.Then,not for the first time,im guilty of not elaborating on my terminology and expecting people to be on my (seemingly somewhat individual) wavelength.
I thought my supporting evidence would have been explanation enough.
I'm one of the academy kids biggest supporters,but i will bring up their deficiencies and areas i believe they can better themselves......as i alluded to,where applicable....i'm attributing much of that blame on the way the club handles most.

I had no problem with what you posted second time, hinted at by saying this was a long way from your earlier post of no fire in the belly.
Again though, bringing up deficiencies is fine but unless you failed to read the thread there are a lot of odd posters not doing this, again which I alluded to with an example.
No loan for Cole will only have been on Pep's orders not the club.
Cole will make a lot of people look very silly next season. He has had constant niggling injuries all year and when he got fit we were right in the title run in. Just look at his highlights from the Youth team for fucks sake, I don't care what level of football it is, he's different class.
