With the league well into its season now, players potential always offers excitment. Sean Maguire & Kevin O Connor made their expected breakthrough with Cork City and were always rated within the game over the last couple of years.

Any regular fans from around the league clubs prepared to suggest who else might do it this season from their own club. Someone who they think has the potential to make it at a higher level!

It's always nice to hear from the fans, so we can watch their predictions at the next games we attend. :)

[vinnie]

Trevor Clarke

[bluemovie]

Our winger Derek Daly (19) and midfielder John Martin (18) will be attracting scouts.

[ybig]

Pats: Markey, Feely
Bohemians; Fuad Sule, very impressed with him.
Derry: Ronan Curtis, McEneff
Limerick: Ogbene, Barry cotter very good also
Cork: McCarthy maybe at CB
Rovers: Clarke obviously, Aaron Bolger looks very very good. Only 17
Waterford: Martin-young winger .

[Philosophizer]

Feely has been v poor most times I've seen him. He's so error prone. One of Pat's worst performers this year i'd say.

[El-Pietro]

Shane Griffin. Makes football look easy.

[CorribsideSteve]

There's been a few people in Galway that have said Lee Grace is good enough for a move to England. He was our best defender this year, very composed young lad.

[WoodquayBoy]

Keep an eye out for United's Ronan Manning. Just turned 17 in May, made his senior debut off the bench in Turners X on Friday. Younger brother of Ryan, who played for us in 2014 before joining QPR. Seriously good player, some people who saw both brothers would say Ronan is the better of the 2

[TonyD]

Feely has been v poor most times I've seen him. He's so error prone. One of Pat's worst performers this year i'd say.

He's had his dodgy moments for sure, but I still think he has potential. Maybe not to go abroad though. McEleny is the standout player at the moment I would have thought.

[total hoofball]

Impressed the couple of times I've seen Warren O'Hora from Bohs, still only 18, could go either way for him after only 6 appearances

McSweeney from Cobh looks a prospect, only 17 holding down his spot at centre half, he was with Cork he's probably on their radar again

Scales, Kougoun and O'Neill from UCD should be with Premier Division teams soon rather than later I think theyll easily progress at that level

[cobhlad]

McSweeney at Cobh is excellent. Been over at Burnley a few times and only a matter of time before a move cross-channel. Sule and O'Hora at Bohs, Drinan with Waterford are some others with lots of potential.

[Finlay Harp]

Paddy McCourt!

[ger121]

Sure for me from a Bohs perspective.

[nigel-harps1954]

Ibrahim Keita.

[Charlie Darwin]

Ibrahim Keita.
Reports sound really good. Will he be ahead of Dsane now?

[PartySaint]

Pats: Markey, Feely


Feely hasn't had a great season but I think he's just low on confidence, he's an athlete so he might get a shot in England

Conor O'Malley will be over there before both of them though

[nigel-harps1954]

Reports sound really good. Will he be ahead of Dsane now?

While Dsane is in good form, I don't think so. But when he's match fit, he'll be hard to leave on the bench. Guy looks a proper player.

[jinxy lilywhite]

For the few times I have seen him I quite like the look of caolain mcaleer

What's harps fans opinion of him?

[Mr A]

Excellent footballer and we will struggle to keep hold of him next year.

[nigel-harps1954]

McAleer, for me, is one of the most under-rated players in the league. Wouldn't say he'd necessarily walk into any side in the league, but he's as good as anyone out there at the minute.

[passinginterest]

I've been very impressed with Sule from Bohs any time I've seen him. His stature might play against him getting a move to England but he's a very tidy and intelligent player, covers huge amounts of ground, rarely give the ball away. Trevor Clarke from Rovers looked incredible for a few games when he was moved back onto the wing but recently he's gone way off the boil, maybe a bit of fatigue or something setting in but he certainly won't have impressed any watching scouts in the recent European games or the derby.

[Peaky Blinder]

I know he's only back from the UK but Burke at Rovers has something about him, if he can keep his head in the right place he could easily go back over to the UK. He certainly has the ability.

That sule lad looks good alright and that centre back o'hare or something. Clarke has been pretty much double or triple marked since moving to the wing and has has the living daylight kicked out of him at points too which has probably made it look as if he isn't doing as well but he's still been a good outlet and the space he creates for Byrne by that happening is unbelievable.

[placid casual]

Personally think Clarke has been over hyped a bit. He has raw talent, bit needs to play with his head up if he wants to go further in his career IMO.
Aaraon Bolger is the one I'm looking out for. Only 17 and he looks the biz, can see a pass, always looking forward, which stands out a mile in this league. Could be the next Wes Houlihan I believe.

[sbgawa]

He's had a few matches lately where he was only ok but he has been our man of the match in 10+ matches. Will be shocked if he isn't bought by 31st of August.

[ger121]

What's the Rovers take on Burke. Watching him in Europe I was thinking this boy won't be at Rovers for long. Knew he had discipline problems earlier in the season but seen him a couple times more recently in League games and he's looked fairly average.

[sbgawa]

I think he is excellent but he is only just back from England and its unlikely someone is going to take a chance on him soon.
If he keeps playing well and keeps the head maybe this time next year he might get another chance in England.
He reminds me a bit of Stephen Mcphail , he always seems to have an extra second

[ToberonaTornado]

Bohs have signed Sule,O'Hora and Oscar Brennan for another year.Decent bit of business done there by Bohs.

We're looking to hold on to our 'next breakthrough player' - Fats.Staying until the end of the season at least.

(some good reading also there for Waterford fans re:Paddy Barrett)

[ger121]

I wonder if Kenny is starting to think this group of players he's had a few seasons have peaked and it is now time to rebuild. They are gonna finish 2nd, out of Europe so now is a good time to start planning for next season.

[outspoken]

Really like McAleer at Harps.

[SFC16]

James McSweeney at Ramblers is absolutely flying, he has the attention of a few scouts so surely will make the move at some stage.

Yeah a few rambles fans were raving about him to me down there. For a young lad he's extremely strong too which is always good. Whitmarsh another they speak highly of

[sulywaterfordfc]

Aaron Drinan signed for the Blues less then two weeks ago on an 18 month deal, he and fellow Blues youngster John Martin are off to Ipswich on trial. http://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/soccer-news/waterford-duo-aaron-drinan-john-10956289.amp

[Kingdom]

Went to Bohs and Bray last Friday and got to Sule up close for the first time having heard only positive things about him, and related in terms of being a breakthrough player.

First thing I thought is that they guy does not look like an athlete whatsoever. But jesus Christ he is tenacious, and won some balls that simply he had no right to win. at times he looked short on stamina, but a hectic week probably undermined him in that regard. When he went simple he was very effective, broke forward a few times and choose the wrong option. But definitely a viable chance in the future. Bohs signing him till the end of next season looks a shrewd move.

The best thing I could say is that if he was in a team where the players ahead of him were more responsible for the attacking threat, he would be a good addition to any potential league challengers.

[Northsider]

Fuad Sule named SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers' Association of Ireland Player of the Month. Well deserved.
