The Summer Transfer Window Thread

I think Idah will be the only striker we sign, Vip will be off and we’ll have Cullen and Wales as our back ups

Possible but can't be allowed, can't see it happening with this board.

Back ups are a non striker and a player we don't even play..

I agree with you. Its crazy if its just swap replacement. But looking like that. No pressure Idah

Yep, when you think about it though, Cullen is always played as a striker under Sheehan, he’ll be the back up.

What's our betting odds on Cullen being first choice today and VP on bench? If so that tells us VP is off. Or Sheehan will use excuse VP has played alot.

Sky reporter in Germany saying we agreed personal terms with Moussa Sylla but not his club so have withdrawn.

That’s a shame would have been a good signing on paper.

Would have been happy with him coming over Idah and no one else attacking wise on top of him, keeping Vipotnik aswell.

Strange they’ve played hardball over a fee, apparently they need the cash and he missed training the other day

I think I'd want another pacy winger/striker to come on loan to beef up the bench - no reason why not as we have lots of loan slots left

Celtic fan coming in peace here re Idah.

Honestly, one of the worst ‘first team’ strikers in my lifetime and im really hoping you guys get the deal done. He may have scored 20 goals last season - some stats on that:
• 6 of those goals came when Celtic was already at least 3 goals up
• ⁠11 came when Celtic was at least 2 goals up
• ⁠He only gave Celtic the lead 3 times last season: vs Falkirk, Motherwell away and Hibs at home (after the league splits for the final 5 fixtures)
• ⁠He never gave Celtic a 1-0 lead
• ⁠Only score Celtic’s first goal twice (vs Villa (dead rubber) and Rangers)
• ⁠Only scored 3 times before 40th min (Motherwell away, Villa x2).

His hold up play is abysmal, I’ve never seen someone so unable to take a first touch. If you play with space in behind the opponents backline, he’s probably fine. He was a much maligned figure last season but I think his preseason and the first couple of league games has cemented the supports opinion on him, and it didn’t help with Rodgers played politics and hooked him at HT - something we’ve noticed is he only uses a HT sub to either control a narrative or make a point - in our champions league playoff tie last week.

against a team that parks the bus, he just doesn’t move, is static and easy to defend against. I’ve plenty of ‘every Idah touch’ in x game if you want me to fire it up, let me know.

All the best for the season ahead anyway lads. Cheers.

Turns out i(if only the first goal in a game counts) Salah and Haaland scored around 10 each last year.
Get those bums out of town!!!
FFS lets see him in action first. I trust the views of disgruntled fans WAY less than professional recruiters and International managers - who both consistently see a player with talent and potential.

In fairness Idah was very inconsistent at Celtic, he was very much a small fish in a big pond. He's the type of player that will get better with a run of games, he was never getting that with Kyogo in town, he had a look in when he left but didn't take it, Maeda was moved inside to play as a lone striker and scored for fun. Idah will be straight in as top dog for us, and in my opinion won't disappoint when he gets to acclimatise.

Indy Reporting that Idah is going to be in the match day squad for tomorrow's game, be that on the bench. Talk about Rodgers playing a dangerous game. Not like it all can't be signed off for and done within 24 hours, but still risky tactic. I'm at the point where I don't know if I want this transfer to go through or not. And we keep VP?

It may be an unpopular opinion, but Rodgers is a very similar character to Russell Martin. He’s just a lot more successful on the pitch and was great with us so we didn’t mind. Still a massive, massive ego.

 

[Blackpooljack]

Aimar Govea to girona on loan with option to buy, hopefully we have a decent sell on %

He's going to play for Girona B in the 5th tier of Spanish football

The stories about Rodgers that have come out over the years by ex players are mad. I always think about the Stirling argument he had with Rodgers on the Documentary. You know what you said....

His record speaks for itself though.
