    I don’t quite understand why folk use this phrase. The fastest runner ever is 6 foot 5 inches.

    Can’t remember which poster mentioned not wanting him because of his bad attitude and downing tools at Norwich. Great to see that wasn’t the case and also the Norwich managers quotes on Adam are class too. Both class acts

    You mentioned that Kyogo is a doubt. Is it a good thing you’ve got Adam Idah? You’ve got to be delighted that one’s done.

    As if by magic! I’m absolutely delighted. People talk about transfer fees and everything else - this is a guy who paid that last year. I’m delighted for him because I think that he’s got huge potential and he showed that last season. I was so relaxed when he signed because I knew what his talent was. What you never know sometimes in recruitment is mentality. I think what I have seen in my time here is that he proved to me that he has that big-club mentality. I wanted to do everything that I could - and I thank the board for reaching out and getting Adam here - because I think that over the next two to three years he can really flourish and show all of the quality that he has. He’s in an environment where he will improve, he’s shown he can deal with pressure in big moments and I’m really excited for him and for the supporters and team. We’ve got someone back who can help us going forward.


    Are you surprised at some people questioning the fee?

    You can never win, can you? You don’t spend money, you do spend money or you spend too much money. We’ve got a great deal, and I know the player that we have here. It’s just the case of getting him moving in the direction that I believe he can get to. He has all the talent, 6 foot 3, quick and strong, his touch is good and he can score goals. Like I said, he has big moments in big games. For me, there are still areas where he can improve, of course, but you expect that as a young player. I do think whatever money we paid for him, he’s worth every single penny of it. He’ll be worth a lot more than that in 24 months' time.

    Ahh.
    Rodgers said Kyogo needs a look at again, so that was Thursday, Friday and today to get him ok.
    AJ should be fine.
    Meada is 100%...
    MJ out for few weeks

    Canny wait to see him back in the hoops tbh - had my doubts when he joined in Jan but he’s got so much potential and can see him being here for the best part of his career

    Aye mate, Bolt is * at fitba, no surprise there. Plenty of tall players with good mobility though.

    see I thought Bolt just got obsessed with the delusions that he'd be a great striker/winger.. he'd have been a cracking sweeper keeper with that height, pace and reflexes for me.

    Definitely behind the others in terms of match sharpness, a few more games and he’ll be firing. Great option to bring on and also now has Maeda for competition.

    He was terrible lol. Nothing to worry about, clearly a bit rusty and needed the minutes.
