    Any LOI/Derry fans tell us what he's like?

    How good is he?

    Just hope he does not sit in the reserves like Paddy.

    He has been great since Paddy left Derry and again Derry shafted themselfs with another friendly deal.

    Decent player very tricky and pacy, think he have more an impact than mc court in the reserves.

    IMO he could have done with another season of playing senior football but its a great opportunity for him.

    No it's not. Look at Paddy McCourt.

    He should have went to either Swansea, or a different SPL club.

    He'll waste away, just like McCourt is doing, at Celtic.

    Don't think he's gotten much game time.

    Very disappointed that he's gone to Celtic.

    Would've been better for his career if he'd stayed at Derry for a while or gone to a club where he's guaranteed football.

    I don't think Derry can be accused of selling-out. he looks like a real gem of a player and it's always tough to keep them over here, especially when they're so young. Also, with the money trouble at other clubs Derry might have been looking over their shoulders and planning for the future.

    I watched the reserves against Motherwell last week and McCourt was probably motm before going off. I don't know if Strachan fancies him tbh.
