Opinions are generally quite polarised round here at present (OH NO THEY'RE NOT!), but I do think McAteer could be a very astute signing... based on some cold, dry numbers.
McKenna likes profiles - and I think he suits the RW role very well. When you think Burns was our 5th best player in the promotion season (source: TWTD Questionnaire), McAteer stacks up well here in some good areas. It's a smaller sample size of minutes, sure - but he's young enough to be moulded and to improve, and I see a lot of the 'Burns role' in him already.

Are these stats hand picked to prove a point (no mention of passes received, completed etc)?
Either way both Wes and Kasey are below the required standard I would say, Wes having the clear benefit of knowing the system and goodwill from being an important cog of previous successful sides |  |

No, not at all - just picked to suit the RW role.
Passes received / completed is quite subjective (is it good to have high pass completion?), so I deliberately didn’t choose it for fear of those comments.

I'd prefer to see our wide men running at the opposition than passing it anyway. |  |

Sometimes yes, but when facing a packed defence with no space to run into, at times it's important to look after and recycle possession to keep pressure on low block defences. | |

It’s hard to really measure that with a stat though, that’s all I was saying. It’s impossible to know if a misplaced pass was a roll back to a fullback or an attempt to play a striker through on goal.
So I tried to pick more descriptive stats. Ironically, I was trying to be super objective, and got accused of cherry picking to prove an opinion. Sigh. | |

Interesting. Here is one comparison some might find interesting (or not). I think Sebastian Nanasi would be an interesting prospect for us. Really good at unlocking deep defences. Especially now since they have bought Enciso who operates in the same positions.

It's a great signing. He's a system buy, I think - not glamorous to a portion of our fanbase, but one McKenna will be delighted by, you'd assume.
Great move for him as well. Much more chance of being a Premier League player next year! |  | | |

Exactly right. Like so many of our players, particularly with the increased analytics, they’re signed as a profile to fit a system.
And like we saw last time at this level, given Kieran his parts and he’ll make the machine work a treat! | |
