    Tonight's the end of the road for him.

    Biggest game of the season and is hauled off at half time. We've seen it before with Rodgers where once he loses patience/faith in a player it's pretty much the end.

    Get him punted before the end of the window for anything we can get.

    He has to go. A loan or something, just gone..

    He's everything and I mean absolutely everything I don't want and we certainly don't need as a striker..

    If only there was these things we could use to see he is an absolute donkey who couldn’t cut it in the 2nd tier of English football.

    Stats I think they’re called

    Punt for anything.

    A wasted jersey.

    Surely there's no way back for him now.

    Problem isn’t ability or laziness, it’s between the ears.

    He simply isn’t intelligent enough (in the footballing sense) to make the same kind of movement that Kyogo did. Or even close. He looks lost.

    I miss the wee man. He carried a much bigger threat even though he had declined.

    He’s a million miles away from what we need. He’s absolutely * to put it bluntly. Sell him for whatever we can get, just get him out of the club.

    Last night was his last chance to demonstrate that he could be the main man. He clearly can't. Does he have something to offer for me yes but as a good backup/change of attacking style striker. Think those away games at Kilmarnock type thing. I don't think he was ever brought in to be more than that tbh, the main issue is that we overpaid for him which is a weight around his neck.

    I always had the belief he's come good. Just from pure blind optimism.

    Hes utter * rank. Don't even put him on the plane. Loan the * out where he belong. Scottish league 2. He's utter *. How he is a professional i dont know. Can't kick, can't score, can't control, can't do anything. Get * hoopy the dog out instead of him. Anyone.

    Better strikers have been available for less money than what we paid for this clown.

    Simply because he's Irish Desmond will have sanctioned his signing.

    Some of the players we've missed out on over the years because of derogatory offers, who you look at and think "they'd have thrived playing with us", and then we sign this absolute * stain for nearly £10m

    This, Desmond too. The blindness that BR and Desmond have surrounding Irish players is shocking. Like it automatically makes you good enough to play here. Scales is the same, Kenny as well. None of them are good enough. They're not even the best players in their positions for Ireland.

    BR pushed for Idah when better players were available for less money. Players who we've since seen go to other clubs for less money than what we laid out for this clown.

    You'd think. But we're so short, it won't be. He's the main man. I honestly dont think he understands what hes told do in the game or understands the team set up. Looks like a stranger just brought in from the street when playing.

    Really don’t want to see him starting again but what are the options. Still think he has a role to play , coming off the bench . He did hit 20 goals last season. The drop off in class from Kyogo is frightening.

    This for me, had scored most of his goals coming on against a tired defence that had been run ragged by Khun Maeda and for a while Kyogo.
    Yang and Forrest don't have the pace of Khun and Kyogo, but they could still tire out defenders enough for Idah to do something from the bench. However it's pointless to start him.

    Playing his way out the club. I can take a lack of confidence and things not coming off for him but I can't take a lack of effort & application. Dreadful attitude.

    100%. The whole 'Celtic minded' thing is an embarrassing illusion, even many fans buy into it.
    You can add to list of failed 'Desmond signings' James McCarthy, Roy Keane, Shane Duffy etc. etc
    Many even wanted the likes of James MClean.

    If Idah wasn't Irish we wouldn't have paid that fee.

    Consistently * when it matters. Gives absolutely nothing, in fact actually detracts from the team performance
