James McAtee

The idea that McAtee can replace Palmer on the wings is laughable.

He is so unsuitable as a winger.

Would you accept 2nd or 3rd finish in the PL next season if it meant MacAtee, Palmer, Lewis or even others got more game time, develop successfully, and set us up for the next 6 to 8 years?

That’s not going to happen, but Lewis and one of the other players will get more game time next season anyway. We probably aren’t going to finish 2nd or 3rd because of them either

Well done on your award, I would love him to come through for City.

Reminds me of a Dortmund Gundo, just left footed.

Do you think we would finish lower if we have Kalvin Philips minutes to any of our youngsters ? :)

I rate James,i have championed him for a good while.

While this loan has improved him,especially physically and mentally,he is still not at the level required for us,i his best poistion,as a no.10.

He needs another loan,hopefully to a Prem club.

I know what you mean. By now, I'm firmly in the camp that doesn't expect anything from our signings in the first 9/12 months so Erling has been a welcome success very early for me!
Jack has taken over 12 months to 'settle' but at least he was fit in that period! Pep doesn't usually give up on players so I think he has another 6 months. He doesn't play the same position as James, obviously, but I would love to know Pep's plan for James. We've seen so many young playmakers come through the academy over the years, it would be nice for another to convert all that god given talent into benefitting city.

Best case scenario is Sheff Utd get a takeover done quickly, the new owners come in and spend big and will look at Doyle and McAtee as being key parts of their survival next year and so agree to something like 40/50m for both with buy backs etc for us.

IF we lose Gundo and Bernardo then McAtee should get some minutes. He's the closest I've seen to Gundo's skillset out of what we have. Obviously not at Gundo level yet but the tools are there. Has that ability to arrive in the area like Gundo too.

I hope he is given a chance in the first team next season.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Palmer goes out on loan and Mcatee gets a chance with the fist team next season. If he does suspect he’ll make a better fist of taking it. For no other reason than the good a year in the championship will have done him.

Press putting 2 + 2 together today and reckon he's replacing Tella at Burnley
