port-ton Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Dundee fans not happy with this move on their club twitter post confirming it. Strange not to see fans delighted about a player leaving for Morton. Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

RossMcC1874 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Can play right back and centre back and it means Broadfoot out the team, guy is worse than playing with 10 men. No idea what he is like don't recall seeing him play against us but happy we finally have someone at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChampTon Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Seems like a real coup if he can stay fit by the reports from Dundee fans. More optimistic about going forward now. The back 5 of MacDonald, French, Darragh, Baird and Waters sounds a whole lot better already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Season-long deal, too. Assuming no recall clause, that means we won't get the rug pulled from under us in January. On its face this is an excellent signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SassenachTon Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) That’s a great signing - and the stunned reaction from Dees fans says it all. Well done Dougie.

Mr.Blue Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Good news that he's signed an extension. There's been rumours for a while that he was off out on loan so shouldn't come ad a surprise to anyone. Would hope that he'll come back a better player if he's playing every week There's a storm on the horizon And for that I can't see the sun For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement For the ice cream van to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I don't understand this move at all, King should be getting more minutes of Championship football. Not to mention the fact we already hardly have enough players to fill a bench. I assume we'll be getting someone more experienced in exchange but not a fan of this one. 2 Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Baffling. While you can see King getting a benefit from playing every week and this hopefully helps nail down his best position, if Crawford is going to be out for any length of time King should be in the starting XI, and even if Crawford isn't then if either Gillespie or Quitongo are out for a time he should still be featuring regularly, from the bench at least. He should be ahead of Boyd and Bearne in the pecking order for the three behind the striker and ahead of Wilson for the deeper two, although admittedly that may have changed soon as Wilson gets fully fit. The squad is just too short to let him go. 1 Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Oh Lord, Brian Wake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 He could certainly get competitive game time at a higher standard than an absolute nick of an outfit like Clyde. Presumably their clear effort to run as our tribute act (McLean, McCluskey, Millar - Duffy until a few weeks ago) explains the choice. I'd rather we used our Annan link even if they're well up against it in League One this season. 1 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away.

The squad is just too short to let him go. He's a central midfielder in a squad that has got about 17 of them now. There's no actual evidence to support the roles you're shunting him into, Jim McInally style. And presumably the club wouldn't be letting King go out on loan of Crawford is injured for an extended period of time. That's information that they have at their disposal.

TopCat Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I like King and the squad is obviously very thin, but he's probably not quite at championship-starter level yet. Hopefully this does him good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonTon Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 King's the kind of player who could have popped up with 2 or 3 important goals between now and Christmas, so while it should be good for his development in terms of continuing to learn about roles, following instructions, game discipline and so on, it will definitely be a loss for us.

I could swear blind that Duffy added Stefan McCluskey to his usual coterie of ringers this summer - apparently he's inexplicably* ended up at Kelty instead. * only explicable in a coaching/doing the kit man job capacity - at League 1 level.
