he has shown that he can be a very good playe
Nobody is disputing the fact he’s really talented. The point in question is that his work rate and effort for the most part was disrespectful.
Loft proved last season he’s a capable player with the goals he scored. Green also in my opinion proved he has some ability.
I can’t for the life of me think how you can lump those two in with Hippolyte, Jarvis and Turan…who really need sticking straight in the nearest rubbish dump.
John McAtee came to this club having played about 10 minutes of pro football, he was a YT at Shrewsbury, he came originally as a youth team player, had about 6 or 7 good games and then went to shit.
Give me a Loft any day over him..doesn’t possess the same level of ability but least he runs himself into the floor.
How many did he score last season, 9 goals ?
Not that great by any means but he showed enough about him to suggest he’ll be a fairly good striker at lg two level.
Personally glad McAtee has gone. No doubt he will probably shine at that level “providing he can be bothered” but in the manner he performed while here, he wouldn’t have benefited us if he hung around for any longer.
McAtee moving on is best for all parties.
