Samwam27 531 Posted February 25 Idah scoring two today shows what we already know. He seems to be a great super sub, but strangely doesnt perform the same way when given a starting berth 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great for Idah and good for his confidence if he does well - and Celtic are a high profile club too - but it is Motherwell..... Well that comment will work wonders for his confidence. Well done. Seems some on here are itching for him to fail hence the OP and the postings that immediately followed, which now look a bit silly. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Virtual reality 712 Posted February 25 (edited) Probably wasn’t a great idea allowing him to leave. We’ve seen little of his ‘replacement’ so far but what has struck me when he’s been on the pitch is how unnatural he looks when moving. Time will tell though Edited February 25 by Virtual reality 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I'm sure Idah, having notched up 2 goals, will be itching to shower and get back to his hotel room to see what comments people are posting here on this forum 🤣 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 185 Posted February 25 Never mind whether or not we "evaluate" him in the summer, he won't want to come back here if his form continues and he gets the support he is getting-and rather a sub at Celtic in the Champions League than at Norwich in the Championship. He wants the move, no question. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Starr 519 Posted February 25 Idah was being marked by Ugandan international Bevis Mugabi. I mean... what more do we need to say here about the standard. League 1 at best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting I remember reading once him and Sargent are good mates I wonder reading between the lines that this might mean Sargent isn’t desperate for a move in the summer. Maybe Sara and Rowe are the ones that will go. Further evidence is the new contract for Sargent and maybe the penny has dropped with Idah that he needs to play and he ain’t getting past Sargent into the first team.

Great for Idah and good for his confidence if he does well - and Celtic are a high profile club too - but it is Motherwell..... But when similar arguments were levelled against the quality of opposition RvW scored against, you didn't seem so keen to play by the same rules? Not sure what you're getting at. If any player scores in competitive play it is a good thing for their confidence, but there is always a proviso, if the opposition is at a lower level, whether it's RVW or anyone else. Don't think I've ever said otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 531 Posted February 25 Fallout or not, hes asked for a move to get more game time. Id be surprised if he wanted to return at the end of the season. Now hes experiencing a new life at Celtic im.sure hell.ask for a transfer whether its Celtic or elsewhere. We were looking for a fee, so must be reasonably set on him.leaving 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I don’t think he’s at fault for Idah wanting more game time, in fact I’d say that loaning him out is sensible if there’s a chance Sargent is off. If come the end of the year Idah wants to join Celtic permanently I guess it’d mean we get a decent fee which could go some way to keeping Sarge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Celtic will be in Some sort of European Football , Match his wages , New lease of life and i imagine enjoying it i can see him moving there or somewhere else where he will be mostly starting which i doubt he will here unless we sell Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaberry2 554 Posted February 26 I saw the extended highlights from the celtic game yesterday. A good header for the goal and a simple finish for the second. Im glad his loan is going well. However you could see that he still struggles positionally and doesnt bust a gut to get on the end of good crosses. Its beneficial for all parties that he does well on his loan obviously, but just my take is that we sell if we can get a decent price for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grando 263 Posted February 26 I reckon if he continues to do well at Celtic then they'll sign him for a max of c. £5m at the end of the season. Maybe with a sell-on clause or a few extras. The only way we're going to get more for him is if he scores enough to get on the radar of some Prem clubs who fancy him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
