    Who the * cares how much we pay? We moan about the club being stingy then complain when we pay a large fee for a player who.

    A - was a major reason we won the league and Scottish Cup
    B - is a player the manager clearly wants.

    If we overpay by a million or 2, we overpay.

    It's funny that we've all moaned about not getting Idah for months, now we're stumping up £8m for him it feels too much.

    ....it does feel an awful lot though!

    Sign the * guy. Been the most tedious transfer saga ever.

    Well, other than the Bernardo one.

    To be honest it says more about the recruitment than anything else, at this point i would just be glad to have another striker in the door.

    Deffo not an £8m player (yet) but just now it's needs must.

    Norwich have been a joke in this whole thing, * us and Idah about big time. Was glad to see the big man indulging in a bit of gamesmanship to try and force the issue, but it's obviously not worked.

    If 8mil is what it takes then so be it. He's easily worth that to be fair, and will only get better. Hopefully they * take the money and we can put thus to bed.

    Play like he did at Kilmarnock for 50% of his time here and he will be worth triple that.

    Jusr sign him.

    Worth noting it says "up to" £8m.

    People need to realise that transfer fees are rammed full of clauses. That won't be up front.

    He is an £8m player in the modern era.

    The fact he would be our second biggest outlay says more about our transfer policy than anything else. We spent £5m on Ajeti. Idah is absolutely streets ahead of him, and he is only 23 so has plenty scope to develop and get better.

    Let’s no even get into silly talk with mentioning Kyle Vassell.

    He also showed plenty composure on many occasions and helped us win big games. This board seemed to have programmed fans into thinking that £5m is basically our limit for signing players these days. In this day and age, you don’t get much for £5m. Of course there are exceptions and gems out there, there is also a plethora of utter *, as we have found out time and time again when we * £1-3m on a raft of players hoping to strike gold. Pay Norwich the money and get him in. We know what we are getting.

    If we had bought Adam for £8m in January, then seen what he done for us through the rest of the season
    it would have been money well spent.

    bring him home Celtic.

    Don't require context, you'll no doubt have Atalanta fans and the like saying the same about Celtic and O'Reilly but our player, our prerogative!

    They have their valuation, it's up to us to meet it

    I'll stick by what I've said all along, worth the signing at the right price, but if it's £8m, we have massively over spent and it's a massive risk.

    His only prolific time was his 4 months with us, of his 9 goals, a few was penalties.
    That is not mean to diminish scoring them at all, the 9 he got was a good return.
    But the risk is still massive here and for £8m I won't believe he's the best we could get.
    I understand all signings are a risk, but idah hasn't done enough, long enough, for me not to still consider this a high money risk for us.

    That falls on the lack of a respectable recruitment team.

    At this stage though, just * get it done already and move on to other signings. It really does look like we only deal with one at a time again, perhaps we will get another by deadline day.
