Caddis and Ferry to Swindon for £350,000?
With an honest assement of talent and the potential impact they could make in our first team - I am disappointed to see Ferry and Caddis go.
Ferry is a terrific midfielder who could certainly do a job as a box to box midfielder for Celtic, and although perhaps he isnt the most polished players, if given the chance to play at the intensity and pressure of Celtic, from what I am seen I think he would revel in it and bring him on as a player.
Caddis too - great player, lots of ability, good delivery, and gets back and defends well, but perhaps in his case he has stagnated in terms of his form and his ability when we have seen him - purely because of the lack of football he has been given since his first introduction into match day squads.
I wouldnt be surprised if given 12 months of first team football, they do move on from Swindon to a bigger club down there and are in or around the Scotland squad (albeit not that difficult these days I suppose).
However having said that - perhaps Lennon has shown us something new here, if they arent going to be considered for a first team slot - then move them on - no point keep doing what has happened to a long list of promising players not given the platform to show what they can do or progress as playes pointlessly and left hanging about the squad. I think a lot is made in football when a player moves on from a club like Celtic (or Rangers for that matter), and how he performs through the rest of his career, as if a poor/underachieving career made letting him go the right decision. I think its more a case of getting players the right opportunities at the right time.
I have seen lots of young Celtic players performing well in the 19s and reserves that could have had a crack at the first team every bit as well as some of those plundering week in week out - and have hungabout waiting for their chance, and when they have moved they perhaps hungabout too long and lost momentum in their career. Celtic are to blame in several of those cases.
Good luck Paul and Simon - wherever your careers take you
