Always did his best for us, and most times in our promotion season was outstanding, love to have him back on loan, and wish him the best wherever he goes.

The next couple of seasons are make or break for him , head down , show some consistency and score goals and he could play higher up .

It goes the other way and he fades out at the lower levels + is linked back to us every summer .

I would prefer the  former .

Can’t see how he would want to play at L2 level.

In the documentary of Wrexham,during our promotion season/their failed attempt season there was a shot of potential January signings on the whiteboard behind parkinson. Mcatee was one of those players listed, so parkinson is obviously an admirer so this wouldn't be completely left field.

Personally I'd be disappointed to see him line up for them, I hope he can get himself a L1 level loan which is what he needs I think.

For what? A player that had a great season with us, played a great part in getting us up moving on?

Let’s face it, his contribution last year was minimal for a number of factors, some his own fault.

He’s gone to Luton, he clearly won’t be in their plans so he’s gonna go somewhere on loan. Is he ready for league 1? Probably not, or is it a case of few teams coming in for him?

All the best to him, perhaps if he sorts himself out off the pitch and with some better coaching he’ll improve and have a decent career in the championship. At this stage it’s all a bit Bogle to me…

If he plays for a team with players up to his standard I am sure he will reach the top

The issue I have with this potential move is that it kind of takes something away from that victory at Wrexham.

Don't get me wrong, that game will forever hold a special place in my heart, but if the guy who ran the show that day for us — who cupped his ears at the Wrexham fans in celebration — then ended up playing for them against us just 16 months later, it chips away at something.

We all know we fúcked up their season (and documentary) that day. But, just a year on, they went up anyway and will likely overtake us.

That 5-4 victory would hold more value if it properly hurt them. All it did was delay the inevitable.

Delaying the inevitable was always preferable to losing on the day, obviously. Maybe I'm just being super greedy about it!! I'd rather we didn't face McAtee — at least for a few seasons yet.

That 5-4 victory will always be memorable no matter what happens in the future.

And it did hurt them. It delayed their promotion by a year, which is all any single match can do really.

It was an incredible win, and always will be. Just celebrate it.

Exactly, the 5-4 win's a great win because it's a 9 goal thriller in a playoff semi final. I've as much interest in its impact on Wrexham as the 2015 impact on Eastleigh.
