Unbelievable: Pundit cannot believe Celtic did not sign £8m ace with 20 goals this season
Bojan Miovski found the net against at Rangers on Wednesday night with one pundit feeling that Celtic missed a trick not bringing the £8 million-rated goalscorer to Parkhead during the January transfer window.
Following his first Aberdeen match as manager, Neil Warnock referred to Bojan Miovski as the best center forward in Scottish football. It is hard to argue against this evidence. Miovski increased his season total to 20 goals at Ibrox, and he did it in spectacular fashion, dribbling the ball past Jack Butland and avoiding Connor Goldson.
Additionally, former Dundee, St. Mirren, and Kilmarnock star Stephen McGinn is perplexed as to why Celtic did not pour all of their money into Aberdeen’s account, given that Yogo Furuhashi is finding it difficult to regain the form of the Ange Postecoglou era and that Adam Idah is hardly one to get the blood pumping.
Celtic told they should have signed Bojan Miovski
“The Miovski one, I just can’t get my head around,” McGinn tells Go Radio. “Celtic play one up front in Kyogo. He’s not hit the same heights (as in previous seasons).
MIOVSK is capable of occupying two center halves. Does he represent the epitome of a Celtic Champions League striker? No. But is the person they sign? He is 24 years old and foreign. Simply put, I thought it was obvious.
Sky Sports reports that Aberdeen is seeking £8 million for Miovski. With this kind of money, Celtic would have to shatter the previous record for the Scottish Premiership, making the Montenegrin striker the most expensive player to ever transfer between two elite teams.
Even while his arrival hasn’t done anything to allay supporters’ concerns that a lackluster window could give Rangers the upper hand in the Premiership race, Rodgers is standing behind Idah.
Rodgers backing ‘brilliant’ Adam Idah
“The thing is he’s got 20 odd games behind him this season (for Norwich City) before coming to us. So he’s game ready and fit and ready to play,” Rodgers tells the Daily Record, Celtic travelling to Hibernian tonight.
“If I can unlock the talent, he has then this is a boy that can be a top-level striker. He’s not just a boy where, even if you max out everything, he can only get to a certain level. This is everything – this is 6ft 2in, power, speed.
“So once he finds the relationships with the other players and the runs – and we’ll play to his strengths because
He intends to run ahead, in which case he will be quite difficult to handle. After that, I worked with him on the training field and saw his performance yesterday. He was incredibly talented with both feet, spin, and strike.
“We had the makings of a great combination between Odsonne Edouard and Moussa Dembele the last time I was here.” It was very exciting since everything was set up. However, it’s clear that we lost one when Dembele joined Lyon.
“However, in the upcoming months, we have the opportunity to do that in order to give ourselves that quality and threat while still preserving the structure we wish to play with.”
