    We'll do it and not replace them. Still waiting on proper replacements for Kyogo and Kuhn.

    Liked him well enough at the time (same goes for Guidetti), but he’d already tailed off a bit by the time of the injury.
    Overall if he was an above-average Celtic striker, it was only just. Not panning him - he isn’t at that bottom-rung level - but he was fairly ordinary.

    Idah Vs Zurawski is an interesting one actually. Both scored cup finals, both scored big goals at Ibrox. Both frustrating at the best of times. Zurawski never scored a European goal for us whereas Idah scored some big CL goals. Zurawski was better at assisting though.

    Id actually edge it to Idah. Both were very frustrating though.

    I think we paid 9.5 million for him, so I’d be demanding 10 and not a penny less.

    We could buy 2 double cheeseburger meals with that £10.

    Zurawski and its not even close. Zurawski was a good player and captained his country at the Euros.

    Don't think he did much wrong when he came on bar miss a penalty(happens to the best), set up a nice chance, but its hard to defend a Celtic striker that doesn't score. I'd be worried for his Celtic career to be honest, gonna need to do something special to get fans back onside..

    I think time has been kind to him honestly. He had a pretty good first season but I remember alot of frustration over him.

    Aye Zurawski at his best, sure. But he was only really good for 6 months or so.

    Maybe, but there are definitely parallels between them. As I said I think time has been kind to Zurawski

    He missed about 4 good chances on the opening day.

    Even when he gets service it largely bounces off him or he's hiding behind a CB.

    He doesn't have the minerals to be a celtic no9. There's a reason he was third choice for Norwich, a club that Pukki (another who didn't have the minerals) is a legend at.

    Swansea City are in advanced talks to sign Celtic striker Adam Idah, sources have told Football Insider.

    The Championship outfit are closing in on the capture of the Glasgow giants’ front man, as they look to bolster their attacking ranks.


    Swansea are discussing a multi-million fee with Celticfor Idah as they work on a late-window deal.

    The Welsh outfit are hopeful of securing a full agreement by Monday night’s cut-off, which would see the 24-year-old make the move back to English football.


    Idah has had a poor start to the season for Celtic and has failed to find the back of the net in each of his four appearances in 2025/26.

    To make matters worse, the Ireland international missed in the penalty shootout, as Brendan Rodgers’ side were knocked out of the Champions League by FC Kairat in the play-off round.

    The embarrassing defeat could turn out to be one of Idah’s last games for the Hoops, as Swansea close in on a permanent deal to sign him

    Alan Sheehan’s side have started the new campaign in solid fashion, picking up four points from their first three Championship matches, as well as advancing to the third round of the Carabao Cup.

    Please end both our suffering.

    We must have a replacement lined up if there’s any truth in it.

    This would be absolutely ideal, really never thought it would happen and we'd need to trundle on with the situation. Please get it done.
