Brendan Rodgers isn’t shy to express how he feels about Celtic’s summer transfer window so far.
Whatever or however the Celtic fans feel about it all, Rodgers is doing his talking on the pitch, because the Hoops have made a 100% start to the new Premiership campaign.
Three goals have been scored by the champions of Scotland – Luke McCowan, Benjamin Nygren and Reo Hatate – without the opposition being able to breach Celtic’s defence.
Unfortunately, one man who hasn’t been able to find the back of the net, despite starting against St Mirren on Flag Day and at Aberdeen on Sunday, is Adam Idah, and the walls are closing in on him.
Celtic signed Adam Idah ‘in a fit of panic’
It’s not Idah’s fault or call that he was signed for £9 million last summer from Norwich City, but it’s something that has been used against him time and time again.
Hugh Keevins feels the signing overall was done ‘in a fit of panic’, and how the club also ‘paid over the odds’ for the Republic of Ireland international, as he told Clyde 1 Superscoreboard.
“They are drifting towards the same mistake,” claimed Keevins about Celtic’s recruitment.
“Adam Idah was signed in a fit of panic. They paid so far over the odds for him, it’s not funny.”
Idah’s goals compared pre- and post-permanent transfer
The thing is, when Idah scored the winner against Rangers in the Scottish Cup final, and if Celtic had opted against buying him outright, then you wonder how the fans would have reacted.
But whatever the Celtic Park faithful think of the player now, he did the business when he was purely on loan, and he needs to somehow find a way to rediscover all of that.
- Idah’s games during loan spell: 19
- Goals: 9
- Assists: 2
- Idah’s games after £9m signing: 55
- Goals: 20
- Assists: 1
