James McAtee

I'm on the loan him out again side of the debate.

There is a player in McAtee,but he will not get any meaningful time here,and it will be a season wasted.

I think that if Palmer, Bobb and McAtee all stay then there will not be enough minutes to go around - particularly if Lewis plays as an 8 - so development will stall.
Of the three McAtee probably plays in the role where it would be hardest to break into the team so he might be better getting minutes on loan.

Hopefully the Ajax rumours are true.

Would love to see this lad given a few games at City this season. I guess that's why we brought him back from Sheffield Utd.

If he doesn't stay this season, Leicester will take good care of him

Nahh, that would do nothing for his development. He needs to get minutes in the prem with another pl side. The championship was helpful for him last season because it taught him about the physical side of the game and how to play against grown men but now this season he needs to get meaningful minutes in the prem to further his development.

A Prem move,with regular games,of course would be the ideal......but playing in a Championship footballing side,that is emulating our methods,will also help his development enormously,especially when the alternative is getting splinters in his arse here.

Playing under Maresca for Leicester, who is basically emulating our style of play would be a brilliant loan for him.

Leicester will be battling for promotion with that squad and have won their first 4 games.

Honestly, it's probably better than playing for Sheffield who is bound to be relegation fodder in the premier league.

He's still only 20, the goal for him is to play men's football, it doesn't matter if its this league. Go to Leicester and absolutely boss the Championship, show more progression beyond "I can handle the championship" to "I can boss the championship".

Players that come from the championship who get to that level have been very successful in the premier league.

We brought him back because the loan agreement ended, what happens now remains to be seen. I'd love him to get some games but his position is looking a bit well stocked right now so another loan may well be the way to go. Bernie at least will be gone next summer and if the Saudi league is still going I can see KdB possibly hanging his boots up for us.

Leicester is the best choice for his development as people have previously stated why above. He will literally play with the same tactics that Pep will use for him. Leicester will also dominate possession in almost every fixture this season, and we all know you won't see that outside of Man City in the prem. Finally, it will be a huge confidence booster for him to win the Championship trophy, which this side are likely to do. If Leicester also get THB, thats 3 Man City academy players in the squad, which is great for their chemistry.

I don’t think he will get a chance
