87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

The midfield is offering nothing. May as well give him a chance and see what he can do, otherwise he’ll be gone. What was the point in keeping him this season to waste away on the bench.

Posters will say he trains with the first team or he needs to be patient like Lewis was. There’s only so far training will take you and Lewis was starting quite a few games at 18, not 21/22. Game time has made all the difference for Nunes. Of course he shouldn’t be starting every game, but occasionally coming off the bench in games like yesterday makes sense

I don’t get what we’re doing with him currently - play one game every 8 weeks and expect an amazing performance.

Mcatee probably watched yesterday’s match and thought if I can’t get an opportunity in that match I may as well look for a new team. Then Pep will say we had an offer and he didn’t want to stay and fight for his place or something to that effect.

He was happy just to learn from pep this season! His own words

Gundo isn't working atm, maybe down to fitness and age, there is no rwason not to give McAtee that role, and a few games, Pep was forced to do this with Nunes and after settling he has come on, maybe a few games to setttle we will be pleasantly suprised.

Atm neither gundo, foden or a knackered berny can say their place shpuld be gaurenteed.

When he has finished learning he will take his football talent and probably use this talent at a different club.

And then next summer he will be gone I would imagine as he can’t even get a look in with us

And you don't think he thought he would be getting game time when he looked at our midefield options, even more so with the loss of Rodri and KDB?

If he ain''t getting a chance in this scenario he needs to move on for the sake of his career.

We know how pep works we know he would get no game time hardly it's how pep has managed all his career unless you are someone like Lewis who gets pep instantly! Think he will get more game time and it's big early in the season to judge it

Not for me, I don't think Pep trusts him, and if our missing players (Rodri Apart) get fit in the coming weeks his chances will reduce even more.

And the posters here will say he was not patient enough like Foden Or he can't do anything against parked buses teams (new justification going on here to downplay someone)
