    Not long left of the season so opinions shouldn’t change too much. Right enough in football fans opinions change by the game. But think I’ve seen enough from both.

    2 votes available as some will fancy one and be undecided of the other still.

    I'd take both.

    I think more people will be undecided on Bernardo but we need to remember we will likely lose O'Riley this summer. Bernardo needs to show his ability more consistently but the glimpses of it have been there, and he's a very hard worker who's tidy on the ball. Can see him improving a lot tbh.

    Idah is more of a Rodgers type striker and will improve. Kyogo wanted a move away last summer, so it wouldn't be the biggest surprise if he moves on this summer.

    Moneys no object to me. If they improve us, also don't seem to mind riding the bench now and again then I'd sign them. It'd hard to get strikers to come on and make a difference. He seems to offer that.

    I would sign them both, both have proved that they can be a useful part of the squad !! If O’Riley leaves then would like to see another midfielder to come straight in for him plus also another striker alongside Idah, we have plenty of games in a season, think we would benefit from having 3 strikers

    I'd take both, they're tidy footballers with good physicality.

    Does nobody else think Idah will actually go on to be quite a good player?

    When you see him now at just turned 23, he is a decent physical unit and he is tidy technically on a ball, also quite a calm finisher.

    When you think of English football similar styles of striker tend not to kick on until they are 24/25/26 and a lot of them end up decent Premier League strikers by the time they are 30.

    Like Ivan Toney at 23 only had 63 goals in 219 games and had never played higher than League 1, 5 years ago when he was 23 the same age Idah is now. Strikers who are taller and more average paced they do tend to take a while to build up experience and confidence and fully grow into their bodies to where they can kick on and quickly go up a level or two over a short period where they start scoring goals and it all clicks.

    That Morris of Luton also is like a poor mans Toney the now but quite good as well, 6 years ago when he was Idah's age he'd only scored 20 goals in 118 games and 8 of them were on loan at Hamilton Accies. Now you look at him, he's decent on the ball and good physically and will probably play in the EPL the rest of his career, even if Luton go down a Leeds or Leicester or Bournemouth or that will probably take him.

    I'd prefer Idah over Bernardo personally..

    Maybe ship Oh out and get another striker in. Kyogo, Idah and someone pretty clinical would be good who's got quality..

    I'm fine with both permanently, but with Bernardo, I'm not sure if he will stay as a CM. He's kind of on the verge- does he profile out fully to be an attacking midfielder, or a more withdrawn role?

    Depends on price yes, but also overall budget for window.
    If those 2 come in at £5M ish each and are all we'd sign in summer window, then neither.

    Depends on price. If we could get both for around £8-10m then aye, but not sure how likely that is.

    O'Riley should bring us in around £20-25m. And no doubt we'll ship out others like Lagerbielke, Oh, Siegrist, Haksabanovic, Johnston etc.

    We know Idah and Bernardo are capable domestically and have scope for improvement.

    I doubt Norwhich will let Idah go cheap either, Bernardo is a good replacement for O’Reilly but not sure Idah would be worth more than £6M.

    If we can both for a combined total of around £10 mill I'd happily sign both

    If MOR is off in the summer I'd be happy with Bernardo. Think he would really step up and CM is our most competitive area so difficult with stop start so a good preseason and more regular game time. We know what were getting and we know he is going to improve

    I'd sign Idah for about 3-4million. Bit rough round the edges but brings us a good out option

    Both but mainly due to our transfer history of late.

    At least we know they can contribute. I thjnk we need another striker regardless of whether Idah stays though.

    And another midfielder or two. We still miss pace and dynamism. Will no doubt be saying it all summer long. Again.
