    Still think he's got a fair bit of credit in the bank from last season. Willing to be patient but on the other hand he does need to do more when he starts.

    Troy Parrott went for £6.7m.

    Federico Chiesa (unrealistic) went for £10m.

    A quick glance at strikers sold in the summer shows how much we overpaid for a lesser player.

    I like the big man's attitude but we got absolutely robbed.

    Troy Parrott - complete trouble maker, and over rated.

    Chiesa is on reportedly 120k a week at Liverpool. And is a winger.

    Next...

    Idah's first start for a while, so too early and premature to find fault I think, as he still looks a bit rusty and lacking complete game fitness. He needs more game time to sharpen as he is a big unit, and I am sure the big man will continue to prove his worth in both the league and Champions League as the season progresses.

    I think he'll prove all the doubters wrong.
    Quick, good in the air, scored in CL, scored against huns, including cup final.
    I'm not sure what the doubts are tbh.

    Yeah. He does need to show more than he has of late, but he’s more than equipped to do so, and hasn’t given any serious cause for doubt imo.

    Last year, he scored 9 in 19. This season, he's scored 4 in 9 games.

    It's a good return.

    He played a big part in winning the league and Scottish Cup last season.

    He was poor at the weekend but most were.

    I honestly think he'll be absolutely fine..

    Get him the service and he'll score.. took his goals well v Falkirk.

    And we've seen what he could do last season in important moments.

    He did look more eager to make an impact when he was on loan for me, which is maybe understandable.. but he has got to show that hunger and desire in every game.. especially when he gets a start. You've no made it yet..

    I trust BR to get the best out of him.

    He’s comfortably better than Parrott. If anything that example makes me feel better about the fee paid.
