McAtee???? Is he world class, no. But has he experience in the Prem, yes and he has ten times the legs of someone like Gundo. How he isn’t worth even a few mins at present is beyond meThose calling for bringing more kids through, tell me one who has come through in the last year who looks even close to being ready? Youngsters coming in need time and patience. From what I've read here those are commodities in short supply on BM, witness the abuse Rico Lewis is getting.
I’m firmly in the academy kids camp. But not right at this stage to be blooding them in. Mine is definitely more of an observation over the last few seasons when we were absolutely dominant and the kids were used sparingly to say the least. Lots of opportunities at 3/4/5 up that weren’t used. Many have moved on and a lot to some impressive success.Pep will evolve his tactics, he's done it before. He can't do it though with a constantly changing half-injured first XI. A couple of new players in January (more would be nice but it's unlikely), a few back from injury and a little stability and we'll be fine. We'll make the 40 points and then kick on after a good summer window.
My only concern is that the last few transfers have been dogshit in all honesty. There is only Gvardiol who looks even close to being good enough.

This 100%I knew we were shit when we were shit, so could deal with it.
I knew we were good when we were good so just loved every minute of it.
This, right now. The most confused I’ve been as a blue.
Serious question, who do we get in thats better than Pep?
At least give him until the end of the summer transfer window ffs.
Don't be fucking stupidHe has a job for life. Simple as.
