Adam Idah

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.

 

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.

 

Tbf parrott has been good at alkmaar this season so far

 

Don’t think anyone can doubt his attributes or his potential but my issue personally is there was far better out there for the price.

I seen him at him 5/6m tops level, Miovski at 7m was better value.

 

Watch miovski coming on as a substitute and getting his start for girona and he was like a rabbit in headlights, gave him 70 odd minutes, even let him take a penalty which he missed, looked way out his depth, dropped as an unused substitute after that , always thought he was pretty overrated, just my opinion, like shankland good 1 off season last season but neither again in my opinion are Celtic

 

Can’t claim to gave seen that CL game but one bad game doesn’t make him a bad player, he’s also went from a * Aberdeen side to top level European and domestic football which will take time.

Game of opinions but I thought Miovski was a great player and would have been a perfect fit.

I think Idah has a higher ceiling because he has a cracking physical base but if you gave me the choice in the Summer i think Miovski is a much better player atm.

The only striker I’ve seen CCV toil with including Europe.

 

He will come good. I was just saying he didn't have his best day on Sunday, even with the lack of service.

Even on off games, he's an extra man defending corners.

 

Tough shift for the big man tonight especially in that first half when we were pinned back. Thought he did his best to link up the play and help get us forward. Was seriously lacking service though.

 

Was linking up and holding it well first 10/15 then started getting roughed up and was slack with his touches..

Should be doing better with some of them..

 

I think he got plenty of service .The ball was played up to him almost exclusively in the first half and it was just bouncing off him or he wasn't on his toes to come and meet it or hold it in , he had a poor game. Once or twice he made it stick but nowhere near enough.

 

Mixed bag but still the right idea to start him. By the time Kyogo came on Atlanta were starting to get a bit desperate looking for a goal which freed up some space for us to try and exploit which led to our best spell of play.

 

Not particularly impressed. He needs to go and watch last seasons Kilmarnock game back and remind himself how he can play.

 

They were attacking with 8 or 9 men first half and leaving tons of space in behind... think Kyogo would have been perfect running in behind and turning defenders. He's genuinely better than Idah coming short anyway .....

 

If he hadn't had the loan with us, and those important goals, and instead signed for the first time in the summer, we'd all be saying by now that he's a waste of 9m.....

He's been well off it this season. The problem is, I just don't think the boy's that good a player, certainly not at that price.

As always, hoping to be proved wrong.
