   Would really like to start seeing this lad in the team sporadically this season as hes been on the bench a few times now. He will be 19 this summer and needs to be seeing some first team football if his development is not to stagnate.
   
   Mogga signed him up on a 4 year deal on August so must rate the lad. So I was a bit suprised when I heard we were signing Slane given they are both young wingers of the same age - though McCart would have known Slane from his time there.
   
   Not seen him play in a while, but he looked a potentially very good and direct winger. He is highly rated within the international set up to.
   
   IF we are comfortable in a game I would like to see him get 20mins here and there.
   
   If not we should loan him out - we are pretty sorted on the wings to be fair and I'd hate for the lad to go to waste.

   Mogga isn't scared to play young talent so i assume he will get a chance sometime.

   I think I'm right in saying that Mogga reckons if they're good enough then they're old enough. The kids will get more games under Mogga providing they're capable.

   Excellent prospect, I'd be majorly surprised if he doesn't make it at Celtic he has been a stand out at U19 and reserve level.

   For me JF and Islam Feruz are the two best prospects we have...

   With the depth we have on the flanks I can't see where hes going to get game time though. Surely TM will want to keep his back up match sharp by giving them minutes when JF is still regarded a youth player.
   
   I think a loan move would do him (and seemingly us) no harm.

   Fair comment, you'd think McStay would have enquired about taking him across to Ujpest. Did Liam Miller no harm when he went across to Aarhus as a youngster.

    Yeah makes you think - maybe Mogga wants to keep a close eye on him here with him training with the first team and all.
    
    Heres hoping he has plans for him this season. A dozen 15-20 mins appearances would do him a world of good.
