    I think he is really * good, and offer more than Kyogo as of late. I would start him in the next game. Suprised people don't want to spend 2-3 million on him. A absolute no-brainer imo.

    Think £3m odd everyone is all for it. It was reported as £5m they wanted when he first came in, and £5m is when reservations kick in.

    The way we are with transfers, I don’t give a * about the money, even though I would say normally £3.5m, absolute no brainer, £5m I’d be wary. More than Kyogo’s fee that, pressure the fans put on at that point big fee, bigger than Kyogo’s fee, pressure ramps up majorly.

    If BR wants to sign him, I just really don’t want us to * up trying to knock a couple hundred K off a fee and just go and sign the *. Doesn’t work that way in reality though, pressure ramps up from the fans if we had to dish out that fee and our board releasing the funds for it, it’d be instead of other higher fees if they had to get the notion, more likely they wouldn’t sanction it in reality

    Think it's more the fact all 3 could easily go elsewhere and start.

    Miovski could get a decent move at this point I'd say. And idah already has English championship and EPL on his CV as well as being an international. Kyogo we all know.

    Generally agree but as above I think all 3 could easily start elsewhere and I dontnthink they'd be content to sit and wait for a chance in a 1 striker formation.

    It's a dilemma we face especially when we consider the league we play in and money we can pay.

    Teams in EPL can stack their benches full of highly paid players. We can't really and it often can hold us back when building squad depth and maybe why we end up with as much dross and projects.

    The own goal was unfortunate, but I was * at him attempting a cut back, instead of running it into the corner in added time.

    Even Oh did that for us in tight games.

    Possibly his poorest game for us. Bringing him on did make sense though as he was trying to hold the ball in their half when it got played out. We needed that.

    I think he lost his confidence a bit, after their goal. Looked a bit hesitant.

    Basically this. His face at the end showed he knew he had a poor game.

    Quite like he can at least acknowledge it. Better than hiding away from it.

    This is my view.

    It should be clear to every player we sign that we don’t give a * about keeping them happy with game time. If they don’t like that then * off. They’re welcome to go any time we get a fair offer.

    He did. He’s been good overall though and that pitch really is woeful. Everyone struggled with it today.

    Not his best but OG aside he wasn’t terrible. Kyogo was pish and Idah made a difference getting involved all the time. Great running power.

    At the moment I'd start him ahead of Kyogo.. at least he puts himself about. OG was a shocker but not really a reflection of his Celtic career so far..

    I thought that was a superb cutback and really should of had someone running onto it.. not a winger or midfielder in sight to attack it.

    It will be interesting to see if he can bounce back into a bit of form, I have to say despite his goal return so far I am not overly confident he is someone you could rely on week in week out.

    I certainly wouldn’t be spending big to sign him as I think in terms of his level he is more of the same of what we already have, in that he is a decent player with good attributes but has fundamental flaws. We need to be signing difference makers this summer, guys who are an upgrade on what we are seeing at the moment.

    Don’t get me wrong if we win the league Idah has played a massive part with his goals but there’s something lacking.

    Not worth a £5m transfer fee. Perhaps half that at best. Has made a contribution but doesn't look like he can cement a starting spot.

    I think he has talent, but any player we sign for £5m has to walk into our starting line up.

    He isn't there.

    It's sometimes difficult making an impact from the bench, he has a lot going for and can improve.

    He's scored important goals already.

    Hopefully he makes £5m a no brainer in the remaining games.

    I'd pay the £5m for him, he's good, young, and looks like he wants to be here.
