    This forcing a move from the inside stuff is starting to out me off himnto be honest.

    Can't trust people who act like that.

    Idah looks more likely to seal a move after Norwich boss Johannes Hoff Thorup confirmed disciplinary action had been taken against the Irish international.

    'We have rules and everyone has to stick to them,' said Thorup.

    Celtic have had a £4.5m offer turned down, with Fiorentina and Hellas Verona also interested.

    Idah, who was on loan at Celtic last season, is still part of the squad's WhatsApp group, and captain Callum McGregor believes the £8m striker is wanting to return


    I think he is. He is certainly making all the right noises that he wants to come back. If it works for everybody, we would be delighted to get him back.'

    Sounds like he is starting to kick up a fuss.

    It's the only way this transfer happens.

    He needs to force it.

    He seems to be forcing something. No guarantees it is for a move to us. If the italian interest is true then maybe he fancies that. Again if it’s accurate that we have dilly dallied over what is one of our main targets then there is no hiding place for the board.

    I don't see this.

    He was essential in winning the league since February onwards and the Scottish Cup.

    He was literally one of the differences between winning those trophies and not winning them.

    His goals against Hibs and Motherwell won us those games. The goal against the huns at Ibrox guaranteed the one point where we couldn't afford to lose (it should've been the winning goal).

    He then scored the only goal in the cup final.

    He was more than just 'average' for us. Much more.

    Agreed. Him and Bernardo both stepped up in big moments and big games. Sort of players you don't turn your nose up at - plenty others have came and wilted under the pressures at Celtic.

    Need both in ASAP so we can add to last seasons squad.

    Has he handed in a transfer request? If not then it really does not sit right with me that he obviously missed his flight on purpose. Understand he wants a move but being unprofessional on the way to do it isn't a good thing.

    Don't touch this guy....
    Downs tools at Norwich and now misses flight - totally unprofessional.

    If he can do it to Norwich he can do it to us.

    I'm glad he's showing desire. Norwich never play him. Keep trying to loan him out. Tried to punt him to Italy for £3m and now refuse to sell when a club finally wants him? I'd be raging aswel.

    Yeah, hard to argue with this and I'm not even his biggest fan. Plenty of good players come here and struggle for various reasons, there's a lot more to playing for Celtic than what meets the eye. The fact he's proven he can handle it goes a long way.

    Realistically we're likely the biggest club to ever want to sign him and for that not to be the case he'd have to come here and absolutely smash it - and I severely doubt we'd ever stand in his way like Norwich are. He said himself it was a dream to play for us so whether you like his approach or not he's obviously desperate to be a Celtic player.

    For all we know he's politely asked to not be involved in their pre-season because he wants the move and they've gone back on their word so he thinks * them.

    When you have a manager like Rodgers, I think we need to look at players in terms of attributes that are coachable and those that are uncoachable.

    You can't coach height and you can't really coach strength and speed more than every major club already does. No matter, because Idah already ticks all 3 boxes.

    You can't coach basic technique or an eye for goal. Check and check.

    In a young player like Idah, you can coach decision making, awareness and specific individual techniques a role might need. We have a coach we know is capable of doing that.

    Honestly, I think Rodgers can help him to turn himself into a special player.
