Yeah Connell must be injured as he didn’t feature in the squads for the last two pre season games either I think.

If anything they're likely to fall further down the pecking order as Celtic bring in more players. I've seen enough of O'Connor at this stage to see why he's not getting picked - he's nowhere near good enough at this point in time. He's either going to have to go the long road down the lower leagues and try to get back to a higher level later in his career as many others have done, or else he is just not going to make it unfortunately. Good underage player but hasn't kicked on since. Not sure what the story is with Connell - lack of pace remains a concern with him but maybe there's a current injury issue. Needs a good loan anyway but it's hard to get a good loan from Celtic as the younger players there have no profile with English clubs and there aren't many good loans going in Scotland. He has lost two years of his career there already that could have been spent improving his game in somewhere like League 1, possibly he can come back from that but the damage might already be done.

Connell looked top quality when I watched him I wouldnt be surprised if an injury or knock kept him out.

West ham preseason sees conor Coventry and Okoflex start and Odubeko on the bench.
Looks like Coventry has just scored his second preseason goal. Would be good if all get loan moves.

Looking at pre season there’s every chance with Europa etc Coventry will get a run. Seems to be getting consistent gametime and they are not exactly chock full of midfielders.

Looks like Oko-flex is impressing West Ham fans with his pre-season showings so far.... |

I see one time highly rated prospect on this thread Glen McAuley has rocked up at Athlone, his fourth LoI club since being released by Liverpool two years ago. Shows again how steep the fall can be when the Premier League dream doesn't work out - something a few other prospects who have maybe taken their relative success to this point for granted would do well to remember.

Paul McShane has signed as player-coach for Man United u23s. Could turn out to be a good prospect

I thought he was an entrepreneur now not a footballer.

One of many Irish players, North and South, to come through at United.

A completely different level to what he was at but he scored a hat-trick tonight. Lobbed the keeper from tip-off in 123rd minute to take the game to penos. Now why the keeper is caught off his line from a tip-off in the last minute of the game is another story. Final score was 4-4. Athlone lost 4-2 on penos.

Andrew Moran, Evan Ferguson and Leigh Kavanagh all about 17 playing for Brighton now that Moran and Kavenagh have signed professional contracts.
So a defender, midfielder and forward all learning their trade together can only be a good thing, especially as Moran and Ferguson are probably our most outstanding players in that age group.

We've seen this all before. Not a sh!t will I give about any young player until they prove it at senior level.

yes delighted to see the three young lads get pro contracts. Super prospects and maybe not far off making an impact, best of luck lads!
The coaching and recruitment staff at Brighton are doing a great job bringing Irish talent through

I understand that you've been hurt in the past Banjaxed, and as a result this has made you withdraw within yourself. But that moran lad looks a bit special.

Evan Ferguson is 16 I think. James Furlong played for the first team in pre season the other day also. Quite a big Irish contingent at the club. Hopefully a few of them will breakthrough like Connolly.

Everyone can look special when so obviously better than the young age group they are playing in. Troy was obviously far too good when playing with lads his age. Senior level a different story. There will be no grey area when genuine talent comes along. Talent that can compete consistently at the top level. We'll ALL know and there will be no debate.
