West Brom boss Irvine eager for Ideye to get going

West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine is eager for Brown Ideye to get rolling.

The 26-year-old Nigeria international has scored just once since his big money summer move from Dynamo Kiev.

"It's been frustrating for him and the same for us," said Irvine.

"Having scored his first goal he got injured scoring it and that was a real shame as everyone has seen plenty of times in the past a striker scores a goal and suddenly he can't stop scoring.

"I hate to think how I would have managed going to Ukraine. It can't be easy.

"And for a Nigerian to come from Ukraine to England it is a big life change."
