James McAtee

[r.soleofsalford]

We got him because United were absolute shite. They had his brother and released him and only then when he went to a new club did his father realise how badly coached he had been and couldn’t have James going through the same. Nothing to do with form for moving.

His Dad and his brother are United fans. James is a City fan. That doesn`t mean money wont sway his decision on where he eventually plays.

again that makes no sense. you make no points to contradict me. he has no individual skills on his own to make a difference. he needs a good coach and system to stand out. put him in a burnley side and see what difference mcatee makes. he is not like KDB or Foden who can stand out in any team

the fuck is this clueless thing?

Some strange posts here and it's hard to believe that some people have seen him play. He has vision, technique, balance, finishing ability and dribbling skills. Allied to that, he is scoring goals and lots of them. He clearly is on the cusp of becoming a very good professional and he already has suitors that we know of. In my view, he has earned his chance, as has Palmer, and I hope that he is given it as there will be a time when his patience, or probably his family/agent's patience will wear out and that is always a risk because we are pursuing trophies at the highest levels of the game.

I have always said that it means a little more to me to bring through top-quality local players than to guarantee trophies. I suspect it's because I was born in Moss Side in 1968 and we won nothing for most of that time. Regardless, there is something special about 'one of your own' becoming a star.

Apples and Oranges......both are incredibly talented and both bring different qualities.

I'm not sure you have ever watched an EDS game.

Stop fucking digging would be my best advice.

Unfortunate that seem to have no fucking clue.

Palmer isn’t as skilful as Messi, as fast as Sterling or a physical beast so presumably he doesn’t have any individual ability either.

That is opinion, not fact. Palmer is a great talent, however.

i notice some of the same posters saying Pep should be playing him etc are also the same posters talking about his way of introducing Phil Foden into the 1st team
