    The big man has everything in his locker, strength to hold the ball, skill, an eye for a defence splitting pass, loves a battle and gives us that aerial presence that we have so badly lacked as well as scoring goals and being able to put a penalty away.

    Love him already.

    Has hit the ground running, making a massive difference since coming in.

    I’m not always a believer in someone having undeveloped ability. It really depends on each individual and also how much coaches/managers are demanding to see those improvements. But he’s 23, so I would definitely have more optimism than what we might get from our other striking options.

    He’s certainly a game lad, and he has the tools to do plenty of damage at this level right now. Even without being prolific, I still think he would give us something we’ve been lacking in attack. Where as Kyogo is a bit useless to the team overall, if he’s not scoring regularly.

    One thing I noticed is how much attention the CBs gave Idah anytime the ball came into the box.
    Opened up a lot of space for late runs.
    I think he's far more suited to Brendan's "style" and hopefully we're starting to see this click.

    Certainly you cannot argue with what he has shown so far in a Celtic shirt. He has been excellent both in terms of scoring goals and also in terms of what his all round play has brought to the team.

    He's been excellent, and looks to be a right proper centre forward.

    Did he come through at Norwich?

    Some daft * was trying to tell me they signed him for £20m so we’ll never be able to afford him :56:

    Perfect for Rodgers system and I’m more than happy to eat a large dose of humble pie regarding him. Thought he’d have flopped big time.

    Started at Corinthians and then moved to the Norwich U18 squad according to transfermarket.

    Gonna be gutted the entire summer window chasing him and missing out :56: but if he wins us the title, and right now he's got us 6 points alone then he will always be a hero in my eyes.

    You’d think he’d push for a move, clearly loves it here and comes from a Celtic supporting family apparently.

    Even more reason Norwich will ask for 1 billion Dembele dollars

    And we’ll offer them some change we found down back of the couch! :31:

    Ah well, there’s always the old sell on clause trick. That might bring the upfront cost down if we can convince them with him still being young.

    Not getting carried away with his form same as most did with Bernardo.

    Let’s see what he’s like over this next period then we can decide whether he’s worth what Norwich would want. Which shouldn’t be that significant but stranger things have happened.

    He’d hold a lot of the cards himself.

    He's been good but it's about consistency. Hopefully keeps it up. Does look like the end for Oh.

    We’ve all known Oh is pish for a long time now. Never good enough for us.

    I think even if he does stay we need another striker in the summer.

    I wouldn't be paying something mental for him off the basis of 4 months here even if he does go on to continue this. I don't know what I mean by mental...but anyway. Its why I was a bit surprised we didn't get an agreed fee involved. Norwich must have been dead against it.

    Kyogo could be in trouble this summer if things don't turn for him. I still know his quality but it just seems like someone the style of Idah is more suited. Two of those types would probably be better for us, at the least

    He's the kinda player that the huns won't like playing against..

    Pretty rapid and their defence is slow as *....and also big and physical which again they struggled with today..

    They wouldn't be able to play a high line with him and Maeda etc playing. Would be suicide..

    No we haven't, that's your own opinion.
