87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

He has time on his side.

We got some older players in his position, he just needs to play well in the minutes he gets, and the trust is clearly there.

It would be a nice dream to see a starting line up include:

Foden
Bobb
McAtee
Lewis
O Reilly

i remember Khaldoon said in an interview that he wants to win Prem with Academy players

He doesn't need to play, he's been playing for 2 years and it's put him further down the pecking order as he's seen the likes of Rico and bobb stay here not play and now they're playing ahead of him.

He needs to be around the team daily, accept he's probably not going to feature but take on board everything he needs to do to get himself to the level where he can make it here and show pep that in training. He's never going to show that playing elsewhere, no matter how well he does he'll always have to then show Pep.

In pre-season he said he needs to be here even if he's not playing much, i took that to mean he knows thats his path, loan players generally don't come back and go straight into the side.

we've got a big midfield overhaul looming, 33 yr old kdb, 34 yr old gundogan, 30 year olds bernardo and kovacic are all going to have to be replaced in the next few windows so there's an opportunity for him on the horizon, best thing he can do is take the cameo role this season, make an impression in training and put himself next in line so he takes one of those replacement spots.

If we sell him. He's never coming back

Quite sensible approach. He doesn’t have to be a world beater - just to be able to come in and do a job
 
Excellent performance tonight for the under 21s and an excellent and well deserved goal , hoping he gets plenty of minutes in the cup rounds etc this season to show what he can do .

Excellent performance. I didn't manage to watch the game, and it's hard to get a true picture with snippets like that, but a lot of very good passes and sewing everything together well. His talent has never been in question, he was levels above in the EDS. The issue was whether he could take that skillset into first team football. Lots of glimpses in that. Hopefully he can continue to get opportunities for us this year and then his minutes increase year on year. I'm happy Pep wanted to keep him and hope he remains patient.
 
In hindsight SU was a terrible loan for him. Shit team with shit football. If he was loaned to a team who played football we would of seen a superstar
