    You said how can the player push for it and I told you.

    I never mentioned money.

    Transfers have more moving parts that you or me realise. (More so you apparently). Players have leverage. They are under contract, they aren’t slaves.

    If he doesn’t want the move and we don’t want to pay the money then fine, we move on. But since it’s been widely reported he does want it and we do want him, then a time will come in the window when him and his agent have to put the pressure on. They do that, we offer more, then middle ground will be met and a deal can get done.

    He can push all he wants but unless Celtic meet Norwichs valuation he staying put. He's contracted to Norwich. Things might of changed since the new manager has come in too. I can't see him downing tools or risking his career over this if Celtic don't meet their valuation

    Jesus. Handbags out in here :56: player can 100% push for a move to try and force Norwich's hand but its also something I don't like seeing in a player. GG done it to push for a move to us from Holland and downed tools he came in wasn't fit enough took months to get up to speed. Then when something else came along he didn't want to be here anymore either and we never got a great fee back for him.

    A transfer request isn’t downing tools though. They aren’t the same thing.

    It just puts a bit of pressure on and changes the entire dynamic of the negotiation. He can do it in private, maybe has already.

    Nothing is completely black and white.

    Tommy Conway > Adam Idah

    He's available on the cheap cause he's unwilling to extend his contract which runs out in 2025. Not to mention, he's 2 years younger than Idah.

    True but it's pretty much putting your eggs in one basket on his part, very risky if Norwich play hard ball. From what's been rumoured, Celtic and Norwich are miles apart on valuation and the Norwich manager seems keen on him so far. Of course its not black and white and who knows what's going on behind the scenes but I can't see him putting in a transfer request especially at this stage of his career.

    Dunno what it is about him I'm just not that fussed either way if he returns.

    He will always be remembered for what he contributed over 4 months but if he doesn't return I won't be devastated. Just don't have the same desperation for him to return as I did with Jota or CCV to use recent examples. Bernardo I have a simular feeling with but his price point is worth it.

    For what I think Norwich want for Idah I'd think if our scouting was up to scratch we could find better. But that's the thing. None of us have confidence in the scouts or our recent record so that probably is also influencing things.

    Agree with @MacEwan

    If this is to get done, Idah needs to properly push for it. If he isn't doing that then he isn't all that arsed about it. Which is a shame but one I wouldn't be too upset with...if the club have alternatives in mind (which, unfortunately, they likely don't).

    Clear as * he doesn't want to be there but if he wanted to be here he would have kicked up a fuss with them by now. Wonder who else we target now

    Personally I just think we won’t meet Norwich’s valuation.

    Was seemingly a done deal for 4million before the end of the season. Norwich then bumped the price up
