    Would bite your hand off to get even two thirds of what we paid for him.

    Lacks ability in several areas and doesn’t show the effort and desire to really grab the bull by the horns and cement himself as our best striker.

    Just can’t take to him at all.

    Yep KDS has a high proportion of people up their own * , but just passing on the rumour. Don’t think he’s * but could we easily upgrade? Pretty sure we could

    I feel like the biggest issue with Idah, having watched him for a number of years with Celtic and Ireland, is that he doesnt have a great footballing IQ.

    He has good raw attributes, so I can see why it would have been tempting to sign him full time and look to develop the rest of his game.

    But theres something about the way he plays that makes him seem on a slightly different wavelength. You arent really sure where he wants the ball played, the position hes going to take up, where hes likely to be and so forth. He doesnt seem to know himself where hes supposed to be. Theres a lack of purpose or something about how he plays and I think the rest of the team also are unsure of how best to get him into the game.

    I believe the old technical term for this was "big donkey."

    Scored a fair number of goals from limited opportunities last season. Putting the price tag aside he's been a valuable contributor to our successes last 2 seasons. Negativity on him is wild.

    I do feel the need to counter the constant criticism that most times is unwarranted (my da has called him pish from day 1) and for some reason there's a lot of people who just refuse to praise him. Saying that, I do get that he can be frustrating in his performances at times and could do more - perhaps a mental thing for me rather than his actual ability - but making critical observations isn't the same as calling him pish, a donkey, total * etc..

    He's pish but scored crucial goals in his loan spell where we would've probably lost the league had he not been playing. Then scores (pretty much) the goal that qualified us from the league phase of the CL. Scores both goals away at Villa to save us getting a complete tanking. Struggling to square the circle of a pish player being such a vital contributor to our recent success.

    I guess we can look at Maeda as someone Rodgers has managed to polish but it has to happen quickly or it isn't going to.

    Running out of excuses.

    Yes he's scored some important goals, no denying that. Given the amount of chances he's handed on a plate it should really be much much more (even as 2nd choice). His first touch at times is absolutely honking, he makes runs that defy logic, he's a lazy *, given he cost just short of 10 million quid we could have done so much better!!

    If it was another project price then ye fairs fair @ 10 million though, money well spent??

    Norwich had our pants down, I'm sure not one person rates him in the 10 million pound striker category... cause he's pish!

    He was in Dublin for the Cork V Tipperary in the Hurling final on Sunday


    He’s a Cork man so he was away watching them
