Not a fan of loàn deals but 18 month loan is acceptable, a lot of signed players don't stay at clubs for 18 months. Got a good feeling about this one think he could run riot in the Spl and hopefully be settled in the time CL qualifiers come round.

Aaron Dobbs the Shamrock Rovers forward currently on trial with us looks a great prospect for the future.

Our first-team have been catching the eye for giving trials to a few young talents recently, with Kristoffer Ajer and Ljuban Crepulja both taking in training stints at the club.

But they also have a 17-year-old Irishman currently with us and moniteeec by bid Paul McGrath had nothing but praise for the guy also with 18 goal in 13 games looks very promising.

ED I think you and few on here are a bit hard on young Mikey O Halloran. is it because him being linked with sevco. god sake cut the Bhoy a bit of slack. and why do you keep saying he ain't good enough for Celtic. oh I forgot our team is full of world renowned player's. Mikey could give a few of them a run for there money, and for sure that's what Mikeys got pace.

{Ed007's Note - James Forrest has pace and is 10 times the player O'Halloran is - and Forrest's garbage.}

He's not young Timbhoy - he'd be in the older half of our squad.

As for his ability, I actually like him as a player (in an SPFL context) but if not for the Rangers interest, RD and PL would be slaughtered for a signing like him. Why not Steven McClean/ Greig Spence/ Kane Hemmings/ Kris Doolan? In a SPFL context they are all "good" players - and some would argue the four mentioned are better than O'Halloran - but they wouldn't get near the Celtic side.

There are players who will improve when they are signed by a bigger club like Celtic. There are also players who won't and coming to Celtic Park leads to a sudden lost of form as they just cannot handle signing for a big club, the higher expectations and living in the public eye all the time . Working out whether a player will improve after joining Celtic is certainly one of the most difficult parts of the recruiting game that a Celtic Manager has .
We have always had a group of players who didn't handle the move to Celtic and it's always been difficult to move them on .
Robson and Hartley did exceptionally well for us . Others like Flood seemed over-whelmed the whole time he was with us .

Old Bhoy I'd argue that we don't need to be signing players who might come in and hopefully improve and get up to speed with the rest of the squad. What we need is 2 or 3 players who are a level above what we have, who have experience and will spur on the current squad to improve.

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't understand what you mean Kevbhoy, those kinda guys cost a fortune, and are a level above and know they can sit back and do shit all and still get paid more than the hard working level below players, what we need to find is those kind of younger players without the experience but with the skill and potential to develop into top notch professionals, and maybe with the right kind of coaching and tutoring and education, they can develop into top notch human beings as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2016 08:43:13
Not really aindoh. Sometimes wee find a player a level above that makes the rest better, it's more about them having a good attitude. Henrik, lubo, mcstay too many to mention them all.

We need some experiance Players playing alongside the "potential". That's how they improve not in training but on games where the better more experienced players bring them on. We have too many players with "potential" need some experiance.

Read on a couple of sites that we are interested in Colin Kazim Richards?

With the noises coming out of Celtic that they are happy to wait till summer could it be a case of the board are waiting to see what we win this year before backing the manager anymore or thinking about what funds they may need to get a new manager in?

Agree0 Disagree2

29 Jan 2016 18:14:35
If we are waiting to the summer it is more likely that the Selling club want to keep him to the summer, and the Board is happy enough with the current strength of our squad . Of course. They may also not be completely sure of him and want to watch him closely to the end of season .
A few forum posters and a few loud mouths in the stands doesn't mean any board disquiet over R D .

Michael O'Halloran is 10 times more consistent and fit 10 times as often as James Forrest as well .

Agree1 Disagree4

{Ed007's Note - I'll not deny O'Halloran's consistency, he's consistently average.}

29 Jan 2016 22:08:36
Forrest the imposter is worse than average.
