Idah , looks slow and clueless 16:09 - Sep 27 with 17553 viewsWales

Hope I am wrong but so far this guy looks garbage.

All well and good scoring a few in the jock pub league but today he was slow and looked totally out of his depth when he came on , even getting in the way of Vipotnik who was about the smash it goal bound.

When he was put through clean on goal he was slow and non committed, also reacted like a snail at the end when it came back off the keeper, then ball placed perfectly on his head to nut it miles over.

His record at Norwich was 8 goals in 100 games, that hardly inspires confidence, it was a bit better playing in the pub league but when your squad costs 10 times the amount of virtually all the others thats not hard.

£6 million wasted I am afraid. I doubt if the dud gets us 10 league goals this season.

It was strange last night but it seemed like an expectant atmosphere in the ground that we were going to score when Vip was brought on.


He’s got that X factor about him. In truth, he didn’t do a lot more than Idah last night, even as the game opened up, but he’s always got the potential to change a game with a strike out of nowhere.

He had a shot from a ridiculous angle which went into the side netting. If that was anyone else, they’d have had stick for it, but because it was Vipotnik I half expected him to score.

Different parts of Vipotnik's game seem to be improving as the season progresses, his challenges in the air are far more competitive and allow us to fight for the ball higher up the pitch. Last night we saw him having balls into feet back to goal playing first times ball into spaces in behind the fullbacks that any player let alone a winger would gladly run onto the switch of play turning defences and certainly takes the pressure off our defence and creating space in theirs. What little we saw of Kuharevich he played similar types of balls classic centre forward play. Vipotnik now looks a stronger unit on the ball attracting two or three players to crowd him out but get support around him quick enough and our goal threat will increase even further.

Idah has areas of his game he needs to work on but if we can get supporting players around him I can see him improving and causing problems up top.

In his post match comments Matos talks about being better with the ball, which ultimately will benefit Vipi. We've seen this season (and last) how capable he is of scoring a goal out of nothing with very little service. Giving him a target rich environment might even offer him the chance of a 20 goal season.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

The thing for me is that having a player who can score with rockets from outside of the box with both feet should be an enormous asset to have in this league and should terrify opposition defences. I’m sure from what I’ve seen of Matos that he will sort out the best service for him.

Zan should start every game,he puts more pressure on the opposition and can make things happen and brings others into the game better,he’s also not afraid to have a pop from anywhere , he made a big difference when he came on last night

The difference this season is opposition analysts and defensive coaches have seen what he can do and that increases the jeopardy - last season was different as opposition defences would have felt more confident dealing with Vip who was seemingly a bit of dud / carthorse.

Now he attracts several markers at once because they know they can't sit off him and risk him getting in a half-turn and shot. This opens up spaces for others and generally causes more chaos.

Idah is last season's Vip - just so easy to mark out the game last night,

The issue for me is his total lack of effort.

Ronald and Franco closing down the keeper when he’s just jogging about.

All are willing him to progress but he doesn’t seem to have much dynamism
He’s arguably one of Vitor’s biggest challenges
We’re stuck with him though so good luck Vitor

Have to say how refreshing it is to see a coach who seems alive , enthusiastic and has fire on his eyes
Fans pick up on this

He looks very keen

Sheehan didn’t

Yes , it was noticeable Zan was far more willing to bust a gut and effective when he came on , winning balls and catching opponents in possession and putting the Centre halves under more pressure

Matos has said if you show that you want to close players down and show that side then you'll get into the starting lineup - in so many words. Idah for me reminds me of Yates sadly. Looks like he is chasing people down but kinda gives up. I would like to see what Wales can do and given opportunity. I'm not writing Idah off yet but last night he should of stamped him mark on the game.

Just watched the extended highlights.

Idah made no attempt whatsoever to try and get onto eoms cross, that showed to me that he is no no9.

Id like to say that if vip had started the ball from eoms cross would have at least end up on target and possibly hit the back of the net.

I thought the same with Eom and VP would of got on end of it. I stand by my opinion that Idah was very much a last minute panic buy, as at the time we wasn't seeing the VP we are seeing now. We tried to get other players in and the one that was said to be the Wow signing. Can't overly blame the club for going in for Idah. Like I said I won't rule him out but I do think he is gonna struggle in Matos team. He isn't a player who naturally wants to do chasing down.

He’s resting Vipotnik- he would definitely first on the team sheet if not for two games in 3 days.

£10m? Don't think we'll want to sell him though. You've got to give players more than a couple months to settle in, especially when we swap managers

Well , looking at the comments, I’m thinking fans would drive him themselves to any club that would have him
At the moment ,I’d value him as half what we paid
Thought though innit

So how much do you think we have actually paid for Idah, just to work out how much you think he is worth.

I believe it is up to £6M including substantial add ons which will never be achieved unless there is massive improvement. Our outlay so far I believe is about £2M. I'm sure Keith will clarify this.

Yes, but I think it’s less. Liam reckons it’s 1.5M down. I woukd go with his assessment as he has his finger on the pulse.

No transfer at any club in recent years in fact in many years is paid in full.

Thanks I thought it was £2M including fees, but your £1.5 seems more sensible.
