Good move IMO. Only 1 year left on his contract. If we are to remain a force need to keep hold of our best players rather than dissect the group like the last time we got promotion.
Lets get Efete, Clifton and Fox down on long term deals also.

Isn't this just a bit on a non-story. For now!

Quoted Text
McAtee signed a two-year contract when moving from Scunthorpe United last summer and still has one year to go on that deal, but the club want to move quickly to secure the long term future of a player who has impressed this season with 14 goals from his 36 appearances so far.

Much may depend on the division the Mariners find themselves in next season, with contract talks on hold for now as the club prepare to face Notts County on Monday evening in the first round of the play-offs, with a trip to Wrexham awaiting the winner of the tie at Meadow Lane.

It might be as simple has .....Hey John   we saved you from having to play for Scunny last season so you owe us .....you are obviously too good for us ......tell you what you sign another contract so we can get more money for you  and we promise that when any team comes in  we will let you know and if necessary let you go for the right price


<*(((><

    Town have given me some of my highest highs and my lowest lows ........ God it is like a marriage

Players often sign new deals before leaving for a decent fee. Didn't Ryan Bennett sign a long-term deal before we sold him to Peterborough?

John McAtee is worth significantly more if he's tied down for almost 3 years than when he's got less than 12 months left on his contract.

They are just re-hashing the conversation from Matt Dean's pre match interview with PH, as they are wont to do.

Yep, Mike Newell gave him a 4 year deal in the summer of 2009. Then promptly played him in midfield.
