Bro your constant slagging of Americans is quite frankly boring, annoying, and sophomoric. I'm a first generation Italian American for whom football is like a religion. Not to stereotype or oversimplify but the large majority of "Americans" who follow football are products of German, Italian, Polish, Ukrainian, and South American immigrant families who know a whole bunch about our game...come up with a new routine. You don't see me pointing out how there are no English managers of worth in World football and that's actually a real thing...: )

My point was that I doubt he is from Madrid and the fact that he speaks perfect English makes me believe that he might be an American or Canadian (like me, by the way).I promise I will if you save the hot air.
No slight whatsoever on Americans or his knowledge of the game, so not sure where you came up with your rant.

Probably to just be the EFL Cup/low level CL/early rounds FA Cup squad player that he is because he has more experience than the 18 year olds.I agree, but then why did Pep want to keep him? McAtee, that is.
Someone has to be that player, like Sergio Gomes was. Like Phil Foden was at one point.
I said for a few weeks that he couldn’t do any worse than Gündoğan, yet came on in one game and actually did do worse than Gündoğan.

He hasn’t been great, but he’s been in and out very sparingly other than in the cup. With the minutes he’s had, I think it’s hard to expect anyone to come in and shine. If we’re so threadbare and struggling, then his legs would surely have done us good when we’re shipping 4 to spurs, or to give him more than a single minute against forest at 3 nil up. I know we shipped 3 in no time at all in the Champions league but the point still stands. If he’s not good enough to play other than in the early rounds of the cup, or lower level champions league games then he should have been moved on and a promising academy kid given that little experience, or we should have brought in a journeyman to fill the void on a 1 year contract.Probably to just be the EFL Cup/low level CL/early rounds FA Cup squad player that he is because he has more experience than the 18 year olds.

Toxic.There you are
Only because you thought the guy to be an idiot which he may well be and then made him out to be an American. Americans don't have a monopoly on idiots...My point was that I doubt he is from Madrid and the fact that he speaks perfect English makes me believe that he might be an American or Canadian (like me, by the way).

As an aside I have quite a bit of family in Toronto and Oshawa, Ontario...

I don’t think he’s an idiot at all. Matter of fact I don’t even know what he was saying.Only because you thought the guy to be an idiot which he may well be and then made him out to be an American. Americans don't have a monopoly on idiots...

I was just pointing out to Karen that I thought she was off the mark with her idea of his culture.
Anyhoo, the “Shwa”, as we call it is about 20 - 30 mins east of me and I have worked there many times.
