I've read plenty and a family member on my wife's side is a Celtic season ticket holder and he was quite glad that he left and was very apologetic that he joined Swansea.

I'm going to keep hope Jaxs but I'm going to stick with my initial thoughts here. I hope I am wrong because it means he is doing the business but my concerns are high at this moment in time.
Trust me, leave Celtic and your pish, we paid over the odds for Idah (Celtic and Swansea) imho, but that's not his fault, he is decent though and will get us goals.
 
Wales has had 1 minute off the bench against Sheffield United, so no evidence there on if he's a good signing, plus 26 minutes against Crawley Town in which he scored. I'm glad he scored on his debut and hope he becomes a good player for us but a goal against a lower division team in the EFL Cup isn't much to get excited about. Dan Williams scored against Plymouth in the same competition a few years back and these days he's playing for New Saints.

Idah had 79 minutes against Nottingham Forest, plus 26 minutes against Hull and 16 minutes against Birmingham. So a pretty massive discrepancy in the quality of the teams faced and the match situations each player played in.

Plus Wales arrived in the summer and had plenty of time with the team, while Idah arrived right at the end of the window. Wales also arrived with zero expectation, while Idah is not in the same boat, as can clearly be seen by this thread.

No one knows how Idah is going to do for us long term and you would have thought seeing Vipotnik's improvement would mean people learn a lesson, but clearly it's not going to happen. The rush to condemn him for a transfer fee which is both out of his control and purely speculation and write him off based on extremely limited minutes is fucking weird.

Its all relative, Wales had his pre-season with us, but is much younger, has played at a lower level than Idah and was a lot cheaper.

And has played 27 minutes of football, nearly all against lower league opposition.

Basically it seems to come down to the simple fact that Wales has scored a goal and Idah hasn't. If Idah had put one in off his backside already, the same people writing him off now would probably be worshipping the ground he walks on.

I got no annoyance with it, I am although concerned but I have been happy to go with VIP since the start of the season.

Let's not make no excuses here,Idah fee is going to not help the situation but even at that price and 1 start with 2 sub appearance would like to have seen a little bit of light to suggest some encouragement.

And Wales has done well.

You're one of those making a big deal about the fee as if we all know what we paid, when the truth is it's all speculation. Despite no-one actually knowing, some are still using it as an excuse to criticise the guy. Like I said, it's fucking weird behaviour.
