Looks like a real prospect, slotted in very comfortably whenever he's risen in level, whether its U17 to U19 for Ireland or Academy to U23 for Norwich. Will probably be in our next U21 panel at this rate. Does anyone have a sense of how far he is off a first team appearance for Norwich? http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/canaries-striker-continues-goal-scoring-form-with-ireland-u19s-1-5739554" rel="nofollow - http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/canaries-striker-continues-goal-scoring-form-with-ireland-u19s-1-5739554 https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/manchester-united/who-is-adam-idah-the-ireland-international-jose-mourinho-reportedly-wants-as-manchester-uniteds-new-zlatan-ibrahimovic-36749546.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/manchester-united/who-is-adam-idah-the-ireland-international-jose-mourinho-reportedly-wants-as-manchester-uniteds-new-zlatan-ibrahimovic-36749546.html

I think it was PM who said it and after seeing the video of the goal it rings true even more. Exciting prospect all right but we should curb our expectations of him until we see him in action against players with the same, if not greater, physicality than him. He looks huge at that age level. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Nice article on Adam Idah & Co. He and Aaron Connolly have been particularly prolific in PL2 - first and third top scorers in the league, respectively (Connolly was top scorer before he got injured).

Two more goals for the U21s today against China makes it 21 goals in 31 appearances at underage for Ireland. Must make him our highest cumulative scorer at underage of all time? Only 4 off being all-time top scorer for U21s of all time already. He'll surely make that unless he gets drafted by Mick.
Some going.

| Give the lad a break he had a bad game. One bad game does not define an u18 International player playing whats more or less a mans team . He showed great composure to score 2 lovley penos. 2 goals not bad for someone who wasnt at the races. |

I'm not writing him off, nor am I judging him only off one performance. I've always had worries that his size and power comparative to his underage opponents would mask technical deficiencies, and I've seen little to alay those fears. He's got plenty of time to improve those areas of his game, but they will need to be addressed. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

I though Idah had a good game: 1. arguably got the assist for the first goal - stepped over it/put off the defender who missed it and went out to an unmarked Elbouzedi. Either way, he was in the right place at the right time, disrupted their defence and contributed to the goal. 2. similar in goal no 2 (I'm aware that Masterson won the header for the assist, but he was there or there abouts). 3. held the ball up very well - showed for it every time, no fear; and laid it off to team-mates to get moves going. 4. scored two goals, albeit penos. If he can keep up that level of performance and return, he'll be doing well.

The current all-time u21 top scorer is Robbie Brady with 7. Idah has scored 4 in 2 games.

Yes Declan, as I said above "Only 4 off being all-time top scorer for U21s of all time already". If he stays any time in the U21s, he has a very strong chance of becoming all-time top-scorer at U21 level.

Dont think he's up to the level of championship level striker, Connelly who I think is a better player went to a League One team. Idah will probably go to FC Dordrecht on loan, might be the Dutch second division but I think some time in Holland would be beneficial for developing his technical side of things.

Well...duh They have to be in 1st team squad in the first place to play them games and score those goals. My point still stands. Opportunity has arisen for a crazy amount of under age attackers all at once (from an Irish perspective) Show me a time where we had that many under age attackers in premier League first team? I'm coming at it from the glass half full, they bought the lottery ticket, you need to be "in to win" perspective.

Fair point. Law of averages you would hope er get one from that bunch. But as others have said it's a long way to go to make the next step. Hard work and a bit of luck required. Huge step up even from championship. In the past Long, Doyle, Connolly, David Kelly were top scorers in championship but struggled big time at next level. ------------- It's not me it's you:-) |
