It has been a case of post-Celtic struggles for summer transfer window exits Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah…
Like his early spell in Glasgow, when it took almost six months to hit top form and start producing goal contributions, Kuhn is once more experiencing a gradual adjustment period at Serie A side Como.
The German attacker joined the Italian club in July following a few outstanding displays at Celtic – especially in the Champions League, but he is still waiting for his first goal or assist after five outings for Cesc Fabregas’ men who sit eighth in Serie A.
Kuhn’s first appearance came as a late substitute against Lazio, featuring for only a minute, but his involvement has slowly increased since. He played 33 minutes against Bologna, starting against both Genoa and Fiorentina, and playing the second half against Cremonese.
However, his impact on the Lake has been minimal so far, and he was not in the squad for Como’s latest fixture against Atalanta prior to the international break.
Surprisingly, Como have struggled for goals this season despite spending a fortune, and the creative spark Kuhn was expected to bring has yet to materialise.
Meanwhile, Celtic supporters were reminded that parting ways with Adam Idah may have been the sensible decision after he missed another big chance for Ireland against Armenia on Tuesday.
Yet to start a game for Swansea, the big Irishman has one goal in five games for the English Championship side. Roma’s Evan Ferguson – who scored the winner against Armenia at the Aviva earlier this week – is being selected ahead of Idah by under-fire Irish boss Heimir Hallgrimsson.
£7 million was decent business for Celtic given that Idah had completely lost all his confidence towards the latter stages of his Hoops career.
Like Kuhn at Como, it has not been a glittering start for the 23 year-old since leaving Celtic but that could change after the international break.
Swansea currently sit 12th in the Championship having accumulated 12 points from nine games so far this season.

Believe that both kuhn and Idah had developed attitude problems that weren’t, to the liking of Rodgers imo?
Also believe that both, will end up like so many before them, where there career highlights will mostly consist of there time spent with ourselves.
Will put the effects of money as a reason for a certain amount of players becoming unmanageable these days.
Both have used our club for personal financial gain. Not the first, or won’t be the last to do so either.
Unfortunately it seems part of the footballing world these days, where players can tend to put finances before career opportunity, and that’s the biggest balancing act that will continue within our club for the foreseeable also imo?
“yet to start a game for Swansea” – wrong, he started against Forest in the League Cup, a game they won.
The article mentions a missed chance for Ireland but neglects to mention a later equalizer in a WC qualifier against Hungary scored since he left Celtic.
In the case of Kuhn he wanted away, Idah didn’t
