    Said the same last summer, for the money we were talking about paying out on Idah I'd have been wanting a player that was an instant upgrade on Oh and genuinely competing to be no1, the difference is marginal if there's any at all. I think Oh has a higher ceiling, and better attitude/workrate on the pitch.

    I think Oh looked a lot worse than Idah ever has.

    Last season Idah sure. This season not seeing that. Still think Idah is a good backup regardless and can get better.

    Can’t see Oh producing some of the performances Idah has this season. Villa away being a notable one.

    Or Idah last season who was on loan, playing and producing ahead of Oh. And that was key for obviously his winning Scottish Cup Final goal, but for the league. I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say if Idah doesn’t come on loan and we rely on Oh to do what he done, it’s very possible we don’t get the league or the cup.

    And I was a fan of Oh, he’s not a bad player, he had something in him. But he had a lot of development needed, that he would not get here because in his position we wouldn’t rely on him. I think he’ll have a good career though, we made a profit on him for a reason.

    He had a superb goals to minutes on the pitch ratio at us as well. But I’d be interested to see his goals in games started, it would be starkly different I think.

    True, Villa game he made a huge difference. Just not doing it consistently.

    Besides 1 or 2 games that Idah has played well in I really don't see much difference to be honest

    Then I think you're being kind to Oh.

    Yeah, he's not been consistent enough this season which is disappointing. But I think people are being very kind to Oh with regards to the level of performance he was able to put in for us. Idah is comfortably a better player in my opinion.
