Mcatee

Did a great job for us but I can see him following the same path as Omar Bogle unfortunately.

I wouldn't have thought so, he has a great support network of sporting family members, who will keep him grounded, as much as they possibly can.

They need to tell him to get out the raves and his nose out the bag (allegedly) then else his career will be pretty short…

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

Potential is certainly there and now probably comes down to his level of commitment and how much he wants it.

Yes mindset is key. Not playing week in week out as will most likely happen at Luton will test his mental resolve. Will performances dip in training and  reserve games or will he knuckle down and try to keep standards high. Players that tend to do well have the belief in themselves and the necessary sacrifice to want to achieve and not let things get the better of them overall when the chips are down.

McAtee was the crucial factor in us getting promoted out of non league at the first attempt. Firstly he scored a fair few goals and got a lot of assists or involvements with goals. Secondly, he set the tempo for the team leading from the front and pressing the opposition high and making them uncomfortable the whole game. Thirdly, and I think most importantly, he gave the team and the fans the confidence and belief that we could beat anyone. The team was visibly more assertive and dominant with him playing than if he wasn’t. And the belief in the crowd went up too, further upping the noise and creating an even greater uplift in the team. Everyone in the Town end knew he would score the equaliser against Solihull when he got through and you can’t put a price on having a player like that. I actually don’t think you can overestimate the difference having a fit and in form McAtee had on the team that season.

He wasn’t the best player we’ve ever had and nowhere near the longest serving. Furthermore, last season was a disappointment for a variety of reasons, nobody could deny that. But the role he played in what will be seen as a significant step for the club getting back on its feet was huge. Without him there was no promotion, without him we may have been non league for many more years and it’s doubtful there would have been an FA cup run and the positives that have come from that. And for that reason he is a GTFC legend.

Some of that might be true but Legend? No chance . Waterfall was far more important too the team and players like Mani and JMD helped get us over the line .

The word Legend gets thrown around like confetti Mcatee was brilliant for us in non league and a rare player to get the fans up out their seats but Legend?
Not for me I will follow his career with interest and feel he's much more a team player than Bogle and once he finds his level he will do well in the game . I  really hope the lad knuckles down and gets his chance with Luton but that step ups massive .Luton in fairness have a small number of players who have gone through the divisions so there is a path to follow for him.Goodluck

Can’t think of a single compelling reason why Luton would want to send him to a league two club on loan
The only explanation would be that they’ve already decided he’s not good enough and Wrexham are prepared to pay over the odds and take him on a permanent. If he’s going on loan it has to be a league one club surely

He gave us some unforgettable moments in the most extraordinary sequence of games I have ever seen.

Whether you regard him as a legend or not, we will never forget that incredible fortnight and his part in it.

No. He wasn't. And the statistics bear that out. That's not disputing that Waterfall played a major part but the period where McAtee was out of form or injured we were atrocious and barely got a point.
