Apart from his loan period Idah hadn't been an established thing at Celtic that they need a replacement for. He did not nail a starting position, he ended up becoming a spare part, unlike say Kyota or O'Riley, who were established. Celtic certainly need forward players but not a replacement for a player who failed to make his mark. Rodgers prefers the lone striker supported out wide by wingers such as Maeda on the left and whoever on the right.

Just wanted to call out Idah's movement before the goal to find space in a penalty area that contained ten Hungarian players (including the goalkeeper)
Have to mention Ferguson dragging his marker to the front post as well to make the space

I will express my opinion again that Idah is underrated - he is not a 20 goal a season striker but he does an awful lot of stuff that goes unnoticed. I think the Swansea move is a very good one for him. He will be out of the spotlight - Sheehan's reputation as a coach is growing and I think he will do a lot better job of protecting Idah than Rodgers did.

Good to see Idah shutting up a few of his critics. Shush.

Professional football kinda comes with criticism. Anyway good-luck to Adam Idah.

Yeah, definitely.

I think the Swansea move is a good one.

A greatly higher level of football. I really wish the lad well.

His movement is good for the goal.

But if I was Hungary manager I wouldn’t be happy that he was allowed slip away from the defender that easily

He took it well though and I’m delighted for him getting big moment like that in Lansdowne
