What’s the script with Adam Idah, Celtic’s big-money summer signing?
Like most strikers do at some stage, the former Norwich City player is going through a barren spell. And like most strikers, he’s a confidence-based player. When the goals aren’t coming, the confidence isn’t flowing.
Prior to the last Premiership game, though, manager Brendan Rodgers backed him to come good and stressed he had no concern over his goal drought.
However, in the same press conference, he expressed his delight at Johnny Kenny’s return to the club after a successful loan stint at Shamrock Rovers.
The 21-year-old replaced his countryman against Ross County and missed a good chance of his own. That cameo, though, and his time in Ireland, has encouraged some supporters to suggest he deserves a start.
In recent weeks, here’s what a few of you have said…
Peter: We need a centre forward that can put the ball in the net. Time to give young Johnny Kenny a run of games. Idah will never get enough goals. His stats prove that.
Neil: Poor finishing is costing us. Idah is a big concern, is the jersey too big for him? We need a quality finisher, new striker please Brendan.
Andy: Idah is a waste of a jersey. Should have played the young lad Kenny he couldn’t have done any worse.
Patrick: Idah looks too desperate and can’t cope with the pressure of his price tag.
Paul: Idah’s form has also been alarmingly poor, compared to his heroics from last season.
Peter Going forward I would like to see Kenny picked ahead of Idah. I think he may prove more of a goal scorer in the long run.
