    Wouldn't mind him seeing on a second half loan at Inverness or Dundee United. Both will need attacking reinforcements and we need to see if he's even worth keeping after his loan at Alloa, which I thnk is due to end in January. Would they even take him tho? Do we need another fringe youngster?

    Clearly he just isn't good enough to make it here. If he hadn't been sent out on loan, you can guarantee there would be plenty fans questioning why he isn't being given an opportunity in the first team though.

    Hard to score for Alloa when they're the worst team in the league to be fair. But it's not looking great.

    I don't even think he is playing week in week out.

    It is a strange one, he was banging in goals for fun in Ireland from everywhere on the pitch, remember thinking he could be another Paddy mccourt but fitter as we got him younger and more raw

    We have far too many players on our books. We need a right good clear-out. Could probably get rid of about 10 players and nobody would notice. Don't know anything about this guy but even if he was on fire at Alloa week in week out I would still have major doubts about him making an enormous step up to a team like Celtic.

    Maybe we should consider this. Brining him back and immeadiately sending him out for the rest of the season to either Caley or United. I'd send him to United as they need all the help they can get and i think it's a bit early to write Duffy off completely. Saying that, those stats aren't the best.

    Alloa would struggle in League of Ireland, bring him back and loan him back to Derry and being back at home could have the same effect on him as it did for Richie Towell.

    His loan ends this month, can see him going to United, altho they may aim higher than him. Hasnt done anything (on paper) at Alloa so cant see them being over the moon about him.

    Has had his loan extended till the end of the season. Havent seen him at all but on paper hasnt seemed to have done alot (Alloa isnt good either). Also read here that he wasnt getting alot of game time either, so hopefully under their new manager he can find some form.

    * *, it's been a complete waste of time having him there so far. Would have been a better idea sending back to Ireland on loan.

    That would make him grow up real fast.

    See buying in these guys as potential is all good. But not if we are gonna ship them out to a back water like Alloa, whose training facilities and methods are probably no better than most League of Ireland clubs. Surely the answer would be to turn their heads, show them what's on offer and fine tune them to the suitability of our requirements. Professional training with teachers who will advance their ability. Who to * would be inspired going to play for Alloa after being recruited by the hoops. In this case he should have been returned to Ireland on loan.
