So you are saying to break into our first team you must be the level of generational talent. So anyone who is not going to be top 3 players itw at some stage should just be binned off.

I don't think selling players to have respectable careers elsewhere and provide a revenue stream for the club is being "binned off". But clearly, anyone playing for the first team should be world class, or potentially world class, yes. (which isn't quite the same as top 3 in the world)So you are saying to break into our first team you must be the level of generational talent.

Spot on..we can not stop a player with potential moving on if they desire to do so..indeed, of the guys who have moved on of late, only Sancho was potentially a future City first team player..the rest have failed..however, there are players like McAtee who need to be nurtured and supported especially when they have the talent he has..sadly Dortmund have made players look elsewhere..it would make no sense to go to the rags or scousers..let Sancho be a lesson to them.Sorry you seem to have poor comprehension skills. He’s the epitome of what our academy aimed to produce when it was revamped, local talents who play our football and are the best in the country (Europe). Nothing to do with how good they are in comparison to each other, just that they are all the type of players we want to produce.
Definitely rather this than him walk. Hopefully he goes to a side that can “play”.He wants to go out on loan but will sign a new contract soon.
Kinda have to ask, do you know this or just making an assumption/hope?He wants to go out on loan but will sign a new contract soon.

The way forward is surely this, sign him up & a winter window loan to a side that'll play him, ideally a footballing club.He wants to go out on loan but will sign a new contract soon.

At what point do we consider Palmer to have 'broken through'? He seems to be a permanent fixture with the 1st team now. Genuine question BTW.Well now you know he came from Chelsea, in the U23 games we played against them last season he was probably their most impressive player, but not close to the likes of Delap, McAtee, Doyle etc. So I could absolutely understand if them guys are sitting at city thinking “well I’m better than, or at least as good as, Livramento so why should I sit around and wait in the EDS”. The obvious counter argument is Foden, but Foden was different. I think we need a Palmer or McAtee to break through to provide a different aspect to Foden who is and was a once in a generation talent.
