Cathal Heffernan training with the Milan first team yesterday
Anyone know what's the general feeling around Trent Kone-Doherty? Seems to have been a bit of a buzz around him in Derry and had a first team squad number at 15 before moving to Liverpool.
Is he seen as a Kevin Zefi level of talent at the time Zefi moved or maybe a level below that?
Anyone that is around 1st team football at that age has to be special. Gavin Bazunu and Evan Ferguson good examples of it recently.
Have seen him play a handful of times now. Wouldn't say he's at Zefi levels. He's a proper speed merchant, lad is lightning quick.
Hard to say how he'll turn out, given the age he is. I have my doubts, but he's a very decent young player. A little surprised at the level he's going to, but hope it works out for him.

Aidan Cannon of Celtic's father is from Donegal : https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.don...at-celtic/amp/
disappointing that neither Golding or Wade are involved. I guess with Kone-Doherty not involved either, maybe it's nothing...
Cannon signed his first professional contract at the beginning of July: https://www.celticfc.com/news/2022/j...ith-the-hoops/

Great to see Shaun wade there, very impressive young lad. Good group, a few new faces.
Kone Doherty obviously the stand out performer. In terms of the irish-based lads, Cory O’Sullivan is really good and all of Okosun, Dodd and Razi have a bit about them.
