No idea what to expect from this signing really, don't expect him to start?

Seems like Curle is also unsure, hence the 1 year deal with an option to extend. Thank god the days of 3 year deals are out the window

A bit of an unknown quantity for the majority of us I should think. I guess we'll have to wait and see what he's like. Hopefully he's not one of these MF's who gets a nosebleed when going over the halfway line and has played three forward passes in his life.

6 Months more than he gave Atkinson, Asamoah, Balanta & Thompson. If he wasnt sure he wouldnt have made the move as early as he has.

Bar the three young lads (Symington, Beck and Potts), when was the last time we handed out a three year deal?

Ellis got a 2.5yr deal when his loan became permanent...

Bit of a strange start to his career, was almost 21 before he made his first professional start even though he was at his sixth club

Ok maybe a slight exaggeration with the deal length, but Kavanagh handed out long term deals far too easily e.g. Kearns.

Nice to have finally got the last of Kavanaghs contracts off the books.

A claret mate of mine reckons he was thought to have bags of potential. Tough to get a fair assessment on the Morton forum, opinions seem divided. Most of the negative ones carry the whiff of sour grapes to be honest!

Time will tell, but I think he could be a good signing, with time still on his side.

Wouldn't expect Dundee United to have played him though, he was aged 7 to 12 when there...

Remember him a little when he played for Burnley's youth team given they paid near 100k for him. Didn't stand out at all for them, long time back mind.

Looks like he's mates with Ben Mckenna as he's tweeted him about the move.

Remember hearing he was a great prospect when he was younger, think Bolton had high hopes for him

I think he'll turn out to be a great signing

Obviously Curle and Dykes have seen something that they like - just shows we are now properly scouting. I think its a similar situation to McQueen last year where they will see how he will adjust to L2. Hope it works out for the lad.
Think the club also managed his signing announcement really well. Everyone knew he was signing but they didnt confirm it until they had a big name through the door first. If we had announce him a week ago when it came out, the fans would have been downbeat, "what a weak signal of intent" ... "oh is that all we can afford" etc. and would have put unfair negative pressure on the lad.

It's not unusual for a player to wait until his twenties to make his professional debut nowadays .... we will just have to wait and see if he is a good signing.

His stats say he's not fulfilled his early promise but KC and LD obviously think they can work with him and he has something to offer.
These are the sort of players that can make or break a Lg 1/2 campaign lets hope it comes off. The good news for us is Joe McKee has something to prove now; if it doesn't work here where does he go next? Probably back to lower leagues in Scotland.

Good luck to the lad, lets hope he takes his chance.
