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.
