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.

I criticised the Yates signing too. This isn't personal to Idah, he didn't tell the swans to spend this much on him. Vipotnik still needs to prove himself too. He's had a great run, let's see if he can sustain it.

You like Celtic, genuinely now, honestly, what proportion of the fanbase would you say were sad to see him go?

Yup

I've said that celtic were also mad for paying that. And sadly thats also the reason why we've also had to pay over the odds as well unfortunately. The comparison is valid - its based on fans opinion not the actual players themselves. Orient were complimentary Celtic were not. Oh you want...

So you're allowed to, but you're criticising me for doing so?

So you have the ability to form an opinion on how he'll do in his short game time so far too then?

Celtic fans observations weren't based on expectations. In fact they probably didn't expect much from him at all such was his modest record at Norwich. Their assessment was based on what they actually watched. Everything's relative. Galbraith cost far less, but in reality was he really playing...

Complete freak occurrence though you'd have to agree?

Don't see what difference that makes. They didn't want him to go and were complimentary about him and hes shown to be an excellent signing. And again at a much lower price.

Based on what?

OK contrast to Galbraith - how many Orient fans did you see slagging him off when he joined us?

That'll only happen if he does come good. Do you genuinely think he will?

Be honest, its more than a few throw away comments from both sets of those fans. It was pretty much a consensus. Both were happy to be see him go. Plus as I've said and you're conveniently ignoring hes looked clumsy whenever I saw him play, and he still does.

No, but plenty of Norwich and Celtic fans who watch him do say the same. 6 months!? That's the old Russell Martin nonsense. Im sorry if Swansea City are signing 6mil strikers in the second division, we reality need them contributing from the start, not half a season down the line!

Well contrast to Bobby Wales. Was playing in a worse team in Scotland and is much younger and cost a fraction. That's the type of player I could understand being overawed and anonymous in their early games. But hes done better.

I said he thought he wasn't at Norwich too. I'm basing this over his career to date. Credit to his potential improvement at Celtic but as i say we should have tried a loan first.

I don't know what it is amongst our fanbase where we don't expect much from debuting players. Thousands of players over years have had great debuts, thousands have scored on their debuts, thousands have had great debuts, thousands have had good debuts, thousands have had quiet debuts but have...

I'd say its pretty clear it is around that figure. Lots of talk though that its spread across the length of his 5 year contract. Transfermrket says its actually 6.9mill. Celtic only signed last summer for around 10mill (madness) so if they're selling them a year later to us without signing a...

He was clumsy at Norwich in this division but I was surprised at his tally in Scotland. But then again, he would be playing against league 1 defenders most weeks. Sadly, I've seen nothing yet to dispel my thoughts so far (in an admittedly limited amount of time) he looks lazy, incapable of...
