I think Scamper procaffeinated for too long, this lad has bean mentioned on another thread. It is still good to see everyone espressing their best wishes. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

Cracking little player he is. Watched him play schoolboy for a few years and we played his Nenagh team once and he dictated the whole game. Was doing the same at 15 playing junior football against the likes of Pike Rovers (beaten fai junior cup finalists yesterday) and Janesboro fc who'd be two of the top junior clubs in Ireland.

| Wasting his time at Celtic. Maybe a loan move to a St. Mirren or St. Johnstone level of team might see him get some game time. |

So you think that at 18 years old, Coffey should forego the financial security and development opportunities a 2 year contract at the best club in Scotland would provide, and instead try to get a contract at St. Mirren or St. Johnstone? I've heard it all now  ------------- We're decent enough.. |

Not once did he mention that being at Celtic long term would be a waste of time, his post clearly meant in the now. Hence why he mentioned a loan move. I'm sure if he thought Barry Coffey was wasting his time at Celtic in general and had no future there he would of said permanently.

I don't know, he seems to be following me around the forum this evening taking issue with everything I post. Maybe if he actually read the posts he wouldn't be writing absolute crap in response.

Was thinking the same Have signed a few other players recently too Wonder where the moneys coming from

| Cliftonville have now signed Daniel Kearns, who as a youth from west Belfast on West Ham's books about a decade ago, took and won that famous case re eligibility for Ireland. That makes six recent signings which include Coffey and Eoin Teggart of Portsmouth on loan, plus McCarey, Hale, Kris Lowe from Dungannon and now Kearns. I don't know where the money is coming from but if Conor McMenamin is being sold it might be a factor. He has eighteen months left on his contract so the Reds don't need to sell unless their asking price is met and it is likely to be high. Larne, Glentoran and Derry City all interested. |

Barry Coffey will remain part of Cork City’s promotion push after upgrading his loan spell to a permanent deal. The midfielder hasn’t featured for the First Division leaders since May 20 as his second loan spell from Celtic expired at the end of that month. His contract at Celtic has since lapsed and, despite competition from other clubs, City have landed the Nenagh native until the season's concludes in October. “I am delighted to be back,” said the 21-year-old, who scored six times from the Rebels this season. ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

| Delighted he's signed for City now, I was fearful that the mid season break would give Galway a change to spend some money, Coffey and Britton should be enough for City to get promoted now |

The 3 lads above all gone to pre season training with Celtic I suspect will end up the same way. Kenny played 35 games with Sligo had a brilliant season only to make this move and play virtually no football. Has to be a huge worry as far as setting him back. Would be fine if Celtic utilised loans effectively but they don't seem to be a competent at that either.

I entirely see where you are coming from but Kenny got injured early in his Celtic career. ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |
Posted By: kevin100
Date Posted: 05 Jul 2022 at 6:34pm
No it's only after I posted it I thought yeah he did have injury issues. He has a first team squad number and has trained with them consistently. Would be great if one of them made it but you would have to be sceptical of the clubs track record with young players full stop not just Irish lads.

Date Posted: 05 Jul 2022 at 6:55pm
| To be fair he has the same squad number Afolabi had. I wouldn't read too much in to that. They likely promised him all sorts because they were competing with Hibs for his signature at the time. But realistically he's unlikely to make a serious breakthrough there, there will always be someone else signed and pushed in front of him. |

Kenny was playing with the Celtic B team towards the end of the season, made 7 appearances, scored 2 goals and created 1 assist. When Kenny moved to Celtic he got covid and picked up an injury which kept him out for a few weeks until March, then got into the Celtic B team. So hopefully he starts this season with better luck and injury free. I doubt Kenny will see much game-time for the Celtic first team this season, maybe some early cup appearances if he is doing well in the Celtic B. I can see Celtic keeping Kenny in the Celtic B for the first half of the season, get some training and development into him and see how he gets on, maybe send him on loan for the second half of the season.

i have said before Celtic is no place for a lad coming from playing regularly in the LOI to go and play B team football , injured or not he would of been far better off at Hibs in terms of development. He will end up on loan at a lower league club and then who knows what will happen. ------------- royal rover |

Kenny and Lawal start in Celtics first pre season friendly staring shortly as does McCarthy.
Also Vata is on the bench. ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

Remember Max Cream who played for Wexford Youths and Shelbourne? I think Coffey and him would've been great in central midfield together. ------------- You know Spider, you're a f**kin' mumbling stuttering little f**k. You know that? |

| There was a point where it looked like we might have a Tee and Coffey midfield for Ireland some day when Conor Tee was with Leicester. Tee playing non league now and Coffey in the League of Ireland first division so it's not looking likely at this stage. |

Sounds like Kenny and Lawal have been decent, but McCarthy poor and unfit looking. Opposition are from an Austrian lower division though so more of a training game really rather than a proper pre-season fixture.
