I can think of two folk in particular who collectively didn't only 'meh' but go 'WTF' at signing a 32 year old winger we had no knowledge of. :lol: 

Lesson learnt!

It's almost like Jim Goodwin knows more about football players than the fans.

FFS, he may even have watched the guy before signing him!

Had a wee look on Twitter and it's quite similar to when we signed Morias, wee Jaydens insisting he'll score 20 goals up here. English football Twitter is fucking horrendous. 

Anyway, hope he does well. A 30 year old striker from the English conference is always going to be a bit of a gamble. It's not quite the same as Foley, who pretty much played his entire career down there a league or two higher than this guy.

He's only spent two seasons at that level, rest of his career has been League One/Two. Foley also spent two seasons in the conference.

Haha! ‘A little bit’ is probably pushing it there...

Vaguely remember him coming off the bench at a home game (Celtic?) but never really seen again. Strange signing.

Joe Mckee. The absolute poster child of a 'nothing player'. 

Right up there with Scott MacKenzie, Paul McHale, Paul Lawson and Mark Hill in the who's who of central midfield anonymous shirts.

Enjoyed that read even though I cant remember Joe. Good insight to a player close to the big time having a love for the game.

Was I the only one that didn't think he was that bad?


I think there was an expectation that as he was supposedly highly thought of at Parkhead, he would be better than he was. Not a bad player but certainly no stand out. Pity it didn’t really work out with us, but no McGowan or Adam

Hladky to Salford City. Talk about selling yourself short. 

Funny though. 

Like Shaughnessy last season with you lot, it should really serve as a cautionary tale of players who want to listen to greedy agents.

There's no way he'd have left us if he knew in advance the alternative was Salford and probably a salary cap to boot.

FTFY. 

But yeah. Was interested to see JG say he tried to sign Shaughnessy last summer. I suspect that phone call lasted about 15 seconds when he was told the demands.
