Adam Idah F. Celtic (loan from Norwich City) b.2001

**pineapple stu** · 18/02/2022, 10:12 AM

I don't think any club can say at this stage that they won't try bring in a new forward in the summer.

If someone is available who'll improve the team, they'll go for it.

He’s had an awful run of luck with injury and illness over the last 2 seasons. Hopefully he can bounce back again. I still think he has the makings of a top half premier league forward.

Very unlucky for Adam, but to be honest it won't effect us that much, for the short term anyway.

**Diggs246** · 18/02/2022, 12:23 PM

I wonder will Scott hogan or Michael obefmai or fest will take his place or another

**pineapple stu** · 18/02/2022, 12:31 PM

Scott Hogan is out injured at the moment as well and has to be a doubt for the March games.

Will Keane an obvious one in line for a start I guess. But our striking options are bad enough as they are without losing players through injury as well.

It will hopefully encourage Obafemi to keep delivering knowing that there may be a squad place available over the next run of games.

There'll always be gossip about a stand out player in a team that's getting relegated. They won't let him go cheaply, that's true.

**sadloserkid** · 19/02/2022, 11:36 AM

Pukki is 31 too though, how much could they get for him really?

He is a bit old for a Fairy-Tale price.

**pineapple stu** · 19/02/2022, 1:07 PM

He may want a move himself though - at 31 he's running out of time to play for a decent Premier League team, and it seems he's probably good enough.

**JR89** · 19/02/2022, 3:06 PM

He'll be too important for Norwich next season, and don't think anyone is gonna spend the money needed to pry him away. How much is promotion worth and Pukki has fired Norwich to two promotions already. Would be worth losing him on a free at 33 if he gets you promoted for the third time.

This is sickening. Wishing Adam all the best. A good rehab and come back stronger in the summer

**samhaydenjr** · 24/08/2022, 12:24 AM

14 minutes into his return to senior football and he scores. Unfortunately went out on penos to Bournemouth but great to see him back: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62558195

**JR89** · 24/08/2022, 9:46 AM

Pukki and Idah picking up where they left off and linking up for the goal.

**Insidetherock** · 25/08/2022, 1:24 AM

We need him getting games and scoring.. Championship level strikers are pretty decent.. Mitrovic, Pukki for example.. if Parrott, Obafemi, Idah are regularly scoring at that level, they're doing ok

**JR89** · 08/09/2022, 10:17 AM

Out for a number of weeks after undergoing exploratory surgery on his knee. Had to have fluid drained from his knee at the start of the season and still suffering with swelling in the knee.

**Eirambler** · 08/09/2022, 2:20 PM

With the group of talented players that have come through, mostly born between 1998 and 2002, the sheer volume of players that have emerged means it's inevitable that a few will have their careers blighted or finished early due to injury. So far that hasn't happened, though Molumby obviously had a serious injury a few years ago and Smallbone has had recurring issues. But Idah is probably the one you'd be the most concerned about in that regard.

It's a real shame because he has so many positive attributes - he's tall, strong, quick, a decent finisher - he could already have been a real standout player for us by now if he had ever gotten a long clear run without injury. But you'd worry that he may never fulfill his potential because his development has been so stunted because of his injuries.

**Razors left peg** · 08/09/2022, 3:57 PM

Any player that has this many injuries at this stage of his career youd have to worry about. With Idahs size he really offers us something different to what we have so I think hes a massive loss if these injuries dont clear up

**Demesne Lad** · 31/10/2022, 7:15 PM

Some speculation that Idah could be going on loan to Derby Co. in January, to get some game time (The 72, Transfer Tavern, Football League World, HITC, etc).

**JR89** · 31/10/2022, 7:45 PM

Can't see Idah going anywhere. Not with his injury record and being third choice when fit behind Pukki and Sargent who both usually start.

Derby wouldn't be a bad shout if Smith were to actually let Idah leave. Whatever about the level but he'd get plenty of game time and David McGoldrick is there who could teach Idah a thing or two.
