There really was a lot wrong with McAtee in his last season for us and – I’m pretty sure that we’d have released him if we hadn’t sniffed the possibility of a transfer fee.
I’ll repeat what I put on another thread. We brought in 3 great players from Shrewsbury who’d all played under Hurst – and under Hurst they got better and better BUT …
Under Cox – all three deteriorated badly in different ways.
All three playing as they could and we’d have still been in the EFL.
It was very easy to predict how well McAtee would do under the care of Hurst, once again. Hmm. I wonder if he’s pursuing Eisa and Gilliead?
