cillian sheridans in good form with saint johnstone, does he have a future at celtic

 

nah , st johnstone is his level , anything above that he is a failure

 

Scores a good goal now he's good enough for Celtic.

Keep loaning him out to other clubs and maybe he can still do a job for us scoring against other teams.

 

I agree he is doing well tho with st johnstone so fair play to him

 

think he desrves another look at by lennon, still young and a regular for ireland U21's

 

20 year old prospect.... who knows. He is prob as far in his development at 20 as Skippy was at the same age, if not further. Worht a look

 

No more than a decent player & not worthy of keeping imo. Hopefully he continues to play well for St Johnstone though so we can make some cash from his sale.

 

to be honest he had not a bad time in front of goal for us.

 

that reminds me, was out with the burd down ashton lane last night and big Cillian Sheridan walks by! i must admit i was a bit starstuck

 

scored a really nice goal for them but dont really see a future for him at celtic but he could do well in the spl !

 

I reckon we should give him a crack he could do no worse than Sammy, at least he would try!

 

no still not good enough for the hoops

 

I like him but I would reckon he will need another year on loan, hopefully with a slightly bigger SPL side like Dundee United. As a general rule I would give a young reserve player of promise until their 22nd birthday to prove they are good enough to at least be an important squad member. If not I would sell on. I think for example guys like O'Dea and Gowser are too old to live of being 'good prospects'. They should have moved on a couple of years ago to smaller sides more at their level.

 

not good enough for the hoops?

what is theese days?:L

 

should get a chance before a * like fortune

 

he done well then went on loan i hink he deserves a shot, gid goal against the huns

 

I agree with almost all of that, except the O'Dea part, I think he has been improving lately with his run in the first team. Also you cant really judge a player until he hits mid-20's. McDonald at Sheridan's age was battling for playing time at the clubs like Wimbledon... I think he has a decent chance to be a first team regular in a year or two.

 

too many simon cowell type * here-give youth a chance SAF did it,worked out no bad for man u

 

I wouldnt imagine he has a big future with us, I think a team like St J are maybe his top level.

I would love to be proved wrong however.

 

Aye but playing reserve football/the bench until you are 23 is very bad for development. I think if you are not good enough to be in the team by 21 you probably need loaned out. The only exceptions are players who have lost a year or two to very bad injuries young (Ferry, Grant, Liam Miller, Maloney etc). For them you could give them an extra couple of years.

However, a player like OD who is 24 next birthday would have made it if he was good enough. He has had a few decent enough games v wee teams lately but by and large he has been badly found out this season for us and Reading. He is just a younger, poorer, far less experienced clone of Mick as far as I can see. I would rather have Mick back than OD.
