Looks like Wrexham and others enquiring about him, can't see us being willing to make an offer for him even though he seemed to enjoy his time at Oakwell.
Would absolutely love him to come back. 100%. Would be the first name on the team sheet for me. Effort, skill and determination with great instinct for goal. He'd thrive under this manager.
I think he’s a decent player but people go on about him like he’s amazing. He always seemed to me like a player who made effort but nearly scored (I understand he did actually score btw!). I don’t dislike him. And if we resigned him I wouldn’t be unhappy. I just don’t get the love in.

You've either rattled them off from the top of of your head or assiduously maintained a spreadsheet - not sure which, but I'd be impressed with either.
There's a difference between overrated and pigswill. I'd take him back if we could - he needs to get fitter though, man was out on his feet after 55 minutes.
I don’t know if I’d go as far as saying that but I never warmed to him. He used to drive me mad with all the hand gestures & berating team mates on the pitch. I’d want to swing for him every match if he was my team mate. Everyone’s decided Clarke’s comments were about Cole or Kane but from what I saw on the pitch I’d say it’s more likely to be McAtee.
One or two in there were decent.. O'Connor if only for his cracking goal Vs Leeds.. Dickinson was decent.. Jankos goal at Wolves was something to behold.. Werlings free kicks were Brazilian esk.. And Ronnie Wallwork oozed that prem class like Matt James did
Aged 25, McAtee has played mostly in the conference and lower, scoring 1 in 5. League One with us is the highest he’s played. Not sure I’d break the bank or beg to bring him back, but a decent option if he wants to be here and work hard for the club.
