He's a good player, just not good enough to play for us, and I don't think he will improve enough. Maybe should have sold him to Sheff U.

Feel for the lad. If he can’t get in this team then he may as well go when the injured players return.

He may as well go on holiday until January tbh… Pep clearly doesn’t fancy him and he’ll move on.
I don’t know if he’s good enough. I don’t judge him on his time in Sheffield, they were shite at the time. Playing with better players here might suit him.
It’s a shame, I reckon I could improve this team at the moment if they had a kit that would fit me. So if he can’t get a look in now he never will.

Pep begged to keep him this season and now we have an injury crisis he can’t get a game. Alarm bells. Kinda feel sorry for him.

Pep said he asked Tixki three months ago to keep him in the squad instead of transferring him on loan, but he has already lost interest.
This is what he said:
I don't want to sell him because I need his specific ability in small spaces
Small spaces in the Carabao Cup i guess?
One thing I do know is if James had the number of games this season that Rico has had he would have scored 3 or 4 goals and created numerous chances. If he had the game time of either Savinho or Nunes the same. For me we have reached the point where we need to play defenders who defend and allow creative players to do their thing.
McAtee is quite a feisty player as he showed playing in a poor Sheffield team - I have no doubts he would not be a liability in terms of being pushed off the ball so easily. I guess we don't know what goes on in training but the fact he has never been given anywhere near 2 games on the bounce in an injury crisis is baffling to me.
