If we didn’t have Doyle - Norwood and or Berge can play that role.

If we don’t have mcatee back there’s literally No one with creativity who can fill in. There would be no learning curve with mcatee either.

Fair play if he’s going to be playing for city but hopefully it’s just posturing to get him to sign a contract extension or get a bigger loan fee out of us. And they eventually let him out on loan.

As I think it’s vital we have someone with his impact to help us actually score and create. that said pep is more than willing to thrown youngsters in.

 

[Swannyblade]

He's a good player, but he's not at the standard of City's first team yet. Let him continue his development in some familiar surroundings

He does need another loan move but I hope we are not beaten to him by Kompany.

 

[Champagneblade]

Process of elimination.

So we don’t have the Doyle or McAtee quandary if any of that is true.

If Pep cares about a young player's development, he should come to us. If he cares more about doing favours for his old mate Vincent, he'll go to Burnley.
Hecky has a proven track record of developing young talent and you only need to look at the difference in McAtee from the Luton game to his performances at the end of the season to see what effect he can have.

Should still look to get Doyle on a permanent if we can though, seen enough already to know he's up to the job. For 'the Duffy role' it's back to rolling the dice on another unknown quantity on loan, my worry is we won't be lucky enough to strike gold with this approach for a 3rd year running just due to law of averages.

Ndiaye should be playing that role/position and we should have two actual strikers in front of him. He's not a 9 or 10 (though he can undoubtedly fill that role)

Could always try and nab the lad who’s pathway he’d be block that being Kian Breckin. Nice bladey blade bonus in that he started his footballing career here before moving to city and he apparently wants out of City this summer to play first team football.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

To be fair, I think Pep has proven himself enough that we can trust his judgement. If he thinks his development is best served there, it probably is...

Always seemed a long shot, we move on. To frees. And loans.

 

[chesblade]

Like how Doyle still got his united kit on in his insta profile .

 

[wavy-blade]

dailymail tho

A million times no.

Berge playing deep is half the player he can be playing more advanced and Norwood is half a player full stop.

 

[jono_t2000]

Mcatee isn't coming back at all so forget that dream.

Doyle isn't coming back on permanent either, loan at best but even that's no guarantee

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

I suspect that Doyle will be available for either transfer or loan, whilst McAtee will be given until the JTW to show what he can do for Citeh, and then if he falls short, a 6 month loan out to either a top 5 championship club or PL club.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

What a class player, I would LOVE him back.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Remember when everyone was shouting for City to loan Foden out. They didn't..... and it turns out they got it spot on

Might be similar with McAtee. Rather keep him there than sell him if I was them, that's for sure

Gundogan leaving and Mahrez getting on means he may get decent playing time

As long as he doesn't go somewhere like fucking Burnley, I won't be too fussed. But good luck to him

It's alright we're getting greenwood.

 

[Tuns25]

Pep will want to understand where we are as a club. If the plan is essentially to accept relegation with a view to trying to bounce back then I don't know why Pep would want him involved in that. Likley to hamper his confidence and development and be a wasted year for him if he is surrounded by championship players in waiting getting battered most weeks. However some decent quality signings and an indication we are going to give it a real go....

 

[Bladeinleeds]

A million times no.

Berge playing deep is half the player he can be playing more advanced and Norwood is half a player full stop.

Norwood is half a player?

Literally no point in having a discussion - we are clearly watch different games.

 

[wizadry]

Who is Mcatee playing infront of for the historic treble winning and best team in the land then? There’s some right bullshit reporting.
