But Hooijdonk is a better striker according to Webber.

Webber?

[Mike 68]

Idah didn't want to play second fiddle and was unhappy with his limited match time.

Give it to the lad he spoke well after the game & gave nothing away 👍

Didn’t actually get that much more pitch time at Celtic - rarely started and was sub again today.

It is a poor standard outside the top few clubs, so his tally needs to be measured against a different level - it’ll be interesting to see if they try to buy him.

Exactly right! He played a very straight bat. 
 

Fair play!

And your point is??

He was happy enough to sign that five year contract so should have been told very firmly......'you're here until the summer son and then we'll discuss your future'

[Don’t be Krul 452]

It may well be that he's found his level. But goalscoring is a habit and also breeds confidence no matter the opposition. So discuss Idah v SvH as much as you want, won't change a thing. But if Idah is here next season here's hoping he won't have forgotten how to hit the back of the net

[hogesar 10,755]

Scored an important winner in the cup. Could have scored some important goals for us in the second half of the season like he did in the first.

Not sure if I've mentioned it previously but Knappers decision to replace him with Sydney really needs discussing on here at some point.

[Coneys Knee 1,048]

I think sending Idah on loan to Celtic was a great move. It was the fact we got SVH As the temp replacement that was the issue.

Idah was/is never going to work for us let’s face it. He’s a striker than can score goals if he’s playing for a team that’s dominant and creating plenty - which Celtic is and does I. Their league.

By getti him amongst the goals up there we’ve increased his transfer value. It’s a particular master stroke that Celtic didn’t pre agree a price also.

Hopefully we’ll use the money from selling him on somebody that’s going to be a better option for us.

Now this is all very well and good Hoggy but you’re forgetting that Webber was still in charge then even though he’d left. We know this because there were threads about it on here…

Trouble wasn’t your man Sydney but that lump Barnes getting the nod all the time! I’m not sure if we should have sent Barnes to Celtic and Started Idah more?

You can't keep saying this, as it was Idah who wanted to move, so the club sanctioned it. 

[Samwam27 605]

Has he learnt to keep his cool in Scotland, as he's had so many opportunities for us, not kept his cool and missed. Hopefully added an extra million to his value if he wants to leave!

Well done to him, he's had a great end to the season.

Idah wanted to go out on loan. We still achieved the objective of getting into the play-offs with a record in 2024 that was only bettered by Leicester and Ipswich. So the decision to send him out on loan can not be questioned in terms of our 2024 objective. Unless, of course, you believe Idah would have scored 5 goals coming on as a sub against Leeds.

[Crafty Canary 547]

The fans now lauding him and saying why was he allowed to go on loan were also the ones lambasting him when he was here. City fans- don’t you just love us.

Are they exactly the same fans?

Its not so much allowing him out on loan, its the replacing him (whatever he is or isnt , a reasonably effective substitute) with somebody who was seemingly completely unusable

The defenders at that level are  a millisecond slower than even the championship. Thats the difference. He's obviously a decent stiker,but thats his level. Lets move on.

[For the future 84]

Well done Adam hope you do well for Celtic and score a lot of goals next season .

No, Barnes delivered in the pseudo 10 role and our matches with and without him showed that. Alongside his goals and assists. Idah was never a pseudo 10 and that's not where he's been playing for Celtic. He scored goals when he played as a number 9 from the bench and that's where he should have been utilised in the second half of the season as he was the first.

Well, I think its pretty clear that Idah would have been very useful in games such as Blackburn and QPR away where I think we would have attained maximum points were he an option for us.

What pressure those extra points put on teams around us alongside the fact it could have altered who we played in the playoffs means you cannot possibly determine his relevance in the second half of the season.

Adam Idah surprised everyone at Norwich City.  We didn't realise there was a player in there, if he stayed last season he would unlikely to have played.  So glad to see him get on.

We'd have played Southampton in the semis if Idah had stayed

[Robert N. LiM 6,270]

Well done to him. Real shame he didn't get more backing here. I'd have him back for next season like a shot but imagine he'd rather stay at Celtic. Big missed opportunity for NCFC, I think.

Speak for yourself, I believed he was decent and would get better and I wasn’t alone.

[BroadstairsR 2,273]

Well him and Tzolis could well fetch a much needed £10m this Summer then.
