Hope we tie O'Connell down long term as he looks the part👍

Going out on loan with 6 months left and not having played a first team game for 3 months? It looks like his time is up.

Always impressed me O'Connell. Just a shame there's a few ahead of him.

JimTim. O'Connell has always impressed me also. always looks comfortable in his position. NiallH. you could be right. maybe Brendan wants to see him playing a decent run of games before he decides whether to offer him a new deal.

Would say his time is probably up then.

I think he should have been out on loan earlier in the season to show what he can do because at present he is competing with Eric, Jojo, Toure, Boyata, Ambrose and even Lustig for a central defender slot where we have more quantity than quality and he is by no means worst.

PT with him playing in the CL qualifiers as well as pre-season I think he might have been part of the plans until Jozo ended up staying. Did that deal not collapse right at the end of the window? It'll be desperately unfortunate if that is the last we'll see of him.

I'd imagine he will be offered a new deal if he cuts it down in England, surely he'd have signed on a pre contract (if that is available) . I reckon Brendan will keep a close eye on him

I agree with that Jim as he was certainly ahead of Boyata and Ambrose in the managers eyes at that time.

Really strange how we can't seem to produce our own central defenders anymore which Scotland was generally renowned for ie. McNeil, Miller, McLeish, Gough etc. I watched the young Hoops and had had high hopes for the other Cork lad as well as O''Connell. Cannae remember his name but started wae a K. Kelliger maybe? 🍀
