James McAtee

[Whether or not]

Think this is ideal. He is going to get a full PL season in a challenging survival battle, where he will play and develop. It beats sitting on our bench in my view and will benefit City and the player. The Sheffield Utd fans made a big fuss of him on Sunday and it is a win all round I think.

Makes sense with the Nunes signing. I am not sure he will make it at City now with the second loan which is slightly disappointing as it would have been good to see on how he did in the first team.

So it required deadline day to realise he needs loan especially after signing £50m player?
What a strange handling of situation. He will be sold next summer regardless. He is next

Look at the players he is training with (i.e. playing with multiple times a week) - Foden, Kovacic, KDB (when back from injury), Grealish, Nunes, Doku, Alvarez, Haaland. Surely he can learn something from that lot to apply to his own game.

He should do what Palmer just did.

Stay and learn from Pep, try to get a regular position and if not by next year go to a club permenantly. Don't go now and take the risk of being with a lesser manager and lesser players. It'll probabl;y be fine ...but just fine. Instead of potentially great.

At some point players need to play and learn, not see and learn. Learning in training is good in theory if you get minutes on the pitch

Yep, the club showing how utterly unprofessional they are once again.

He won’t be sold.

Never said unprofessional but you became defensive towards slightest criticism for handling of the Mcatee situation. Continue. He ie getting sold next summer

Would have preferred him going to a side which plays football but delighted it's not permanent. I guess he knows the set up there, his colleagues and it's not far from home so from a non-footballing point of view it makes sense.

I suppose the experience of playing in the PL for a season will be useful for him , but doubt he will see much football played with their shit style.

Meh. Rugby every week.
