It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

I wish you would because the reality is that he has never played outside Argentina so you just don't know, you are guessing. If you knew you would be an extremely sought after scout.

Welcome back to reality! Finally quoting facts
I'm not guessing, I'm waiting, time will tell with Alvarez

Have we got 8 left ? ;-)

Wide? I thought he’d be behind Bernardo Kdb and Gundogan

For me, McAtee looks a very very exciting prospect....almost better than Foden when at the same stage imho.

Id love to see him given a chance but as Pep did with Foden, it has to be at the right time...Pep protected Foden really well from expectation and look what has happened...we have a genuine world beater on our hands.

Hopefully McAtee makes the grade..he certainly has an eye for goal, is aggressive with and without the ball and has a lot of the qualities Pep looks for.....technically very good in tight spaces, great close control, work rate, tenacity (controlled aggression), always looking for the positive pass and movement.

I’m just agreeing with City. You are making out Alvarez is better than Raz already.

We have different definitions of facts and reality I accept that much.

Look at the source.
It’s very unlikely that anyone apart from the coaching staff will know about his quality and they certainly aren’t telling journalists.
There are way too many know it alls these days. Maybe twitter etc has contributed to this but there are few and far between the amount of genuine in the actual know outside of a football club.

A lot of this is just massaging egos and trying to increase subscribers etc.
Most outsiders are treated with contempt within football clubs.
No way are they being fed correct and proper information.

This just isn't true and people need to stop saying it about every academy player coming through.

Foden was miles ahead of the likes of McAtee and Palmer at the same age. They can be great players in their own right and they might end up better players with better careers but people are kidding themselves when they say stuff like this.

At McAtee's age, Foden had about 70-80 first team appearances and had made his England debut.

Everyone develops at different rates and Foden is and was special.

If we go into the season with Foden/Grealish Alverez/Haaland Mahrez/Palmer as our front 6 surely we need another attacking midfielder would leave us with KDB/Bernardo/Gundogan for two positions behind the front 3

Palmer & Mcatee time's on...
