McATEE FROM LUTON SEASON LOAN 24YR OLD
Underwelmed
Prolific…..NOT
The Norbe Fairy may just be resting on a toadstool Shads still clutching the £1mill cheque close to her chest until the time is right to swoop.
Ahmad has pulled another one out of the bag.
John McAtee,24, (not to be confused with his brother, the Man City/ Sheff U loan player) is described as a "Luton Town player" but hasn't actually played a game for them. He is described on the Official Website as "having had a successful summer with the Hatters as they prepared for the Premiership"That is some spin even for our media lads/ lasses. You couldn't make it up.
The article doesn't actually go into detail about whether he is a striker or attacking midfielder but he seems to be touted as a striker. He has not been a prolific scorer at Halesowen, Telford, Ashton Utd, Curzon Ashton, S****horpe and last season at Grimsby (4 goals in 32 appearances) but he could be ready to take the Third Division by storm under Collin's guidance. Cannot make a judgement yet on performance, only on stats.
Welcome to Oakwell John.
It may be that Ahmad failed to get the £million swoop over the line with Norbe for the moment but this loan player may be the answer, and would be a less costly alternative.

Looks like the Styles replacement as a ten to me but we will see .
Don't know too much about the lad but Luton seem to be able to spot a player so he's got that going for him I suppose .
They, Luton owe us a few favours.
Feck me!
Firming the squad up arent we?
6 Days to go in the window, need some rabbits out of the hat dont we?
