Idah chase is now a pantomime, time to make a move for Miovski

Pursuit of Idah is turning into a soap opera. it’s time to turn to other targets like Miovski…

The Adam Idah situation is turning into something of a soap opera, with each and every day bringing a new twist in the long drawn out saga.

Contrary to reports that surfaced late last night, no deal is in the pipelines, and the usual rags have just recycled old news by using misleading headlines.

Adam has made his intentions clear by refusing to turn out for the Canaries, an act that seen him understandably disciplined, but the Carrow Road club still refuse to budge on their stance and are holding out for what they deem a reasonable fee for the Irish international.

That fee is somewhere in the region of £7.5m – £12 million, it just depends on what social media rumour you take as gospel.

For me, I think it’s time we moved on. As good as Adam is, it’s not worth the wait or hassle that we’ve endured for the past few months. So it’s time we moved on to other targets.

One of those targets is right under our nose in Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski. The North Macedonian has been the subject of a recent failed bid by Spanish side Espanyol.

The Spaniards bid something in the region of £3 million which was immediately rebuffed by the Dons. Apparently they are looking for more than double that fee, with £6.5 million being the price that the Pittodrie side are reportedly holding out for.

If that’s the case we should nip in and offer just that. Miovski knows the league, he’s a player who would fit into our system and he is a proven goalscorer. It’s a no brainer. It’s now time to forget about Idah and pursue targets like Miovski.

You never know it might also call Norwich’s bluff and force their hand. Or maybe they do have Italian clubs queuing up to sign the Celtic target after all.
