Anyone convinced that Kyogo will end up playing for the Bhoys once again?
I thought if things didn't work out for him he'd try his luck in the USA and get sunshine and a good financial deal.

Unlike Jota who left on a high, I think Kyogo was on a steady decline compared to the standards he set in his first 2 seasons. Now we have Maeda playing out of his skin with Idah as back-up and I don't see any way back unless our squad changes drastically in the summer and even then it would probably be a non-starter.
{Ed007's Note - Kyogo's behaviour & attitude since he told Rodgers he wanted to leave has left a sour taste in the manager's mouth, there is no way he would take him back.
Why would anyone want to bring back a player that couldn't wait to get out & forced a move away at a crucial point in the season, a player that was declining in quality, a player who was carrying an injury that he refused to get operated on?
And I couldn't bear to go back to hearing all the "Best since Henrik" garbage!}

Talking about Larson mate who would you say has been the best since he left. Mb Griff if the boy screwd the nut not sure to b honest.
{Ed007's Note - From the first few games watching Kyogo I said he was never an out & out striker and I always said he wasn't good enough to be Celtic's "main man" up front. Kyogo hasn't got that natural poacher's instinct which the amount of sitters he missed highlighted so for that I'd have Gary Hooper, Scott McDonald, Dembele and Edouard over him any day but I think for 2/3 season Leigh Griffiths - a player I never wanted us to sign - was in front of them all as an all round striker. LG could score from anywhere in & around the box, headers, free-kicks the lot, it's just a pity how things turned out at Celtic for him.
Just imagine how many goals someone like Hooper or LG in his prime would have scored under Ange's system and Rodgers' when it's clicking.}

No chance imo. It was the right player and the right club at the exact right time when Ange came in. Rodgers will have something new in mind moving forward.

No chance do I want him back, If a player is that desperate to leave then let him stew.
Also I mentioned in another post that in his time here he was only the top scorer at the club in 1 season which isn't good enough if you are the main striker.

So hopefully everyone is stopping creaming their pants over the greatest fraud of all GG who couldn't wait to get out and join a backwater league at the "peak of his powers".

Not for me. He wanted to leave and give himself a chance to force his way into Japan's world cup squad apparently. That's since failed miserably so he won't be welcomed back with open arms. He's the wrong side of 30 too. There are better options out there that will benefit the club in the long term.

I wouldn’t want Kyogo back for a few reasons, first of all, his on field standards have dropped and we need better as our ist choice striker. Maeda is playing better as a striker than Kyogo has played this season or last . But many think we need Maeda on the wing for his incredible work rate . .
I can’t believe Board and manager were happy with the timing of his leaving us, mid season whilst still in Champions League .
To me, the most important aspect, is that we already have bought back 2 players after we sold them . I think that is rather unusual in the game I would hate us to do this more often as it’s a reputation that we don’t want to have . It would be bad if clubs stopped buying from us because they thought that they would lose money because players we sold kept talking about returning to us at a very great financial lost to club that bought him from us originally.

Kyogo is by some distance the best forward since Henrik, it's unfortunate we have a manager who doesn't, I mean didn't know how to set the team up to get the best out of him, the stench of double standards in this stream is overwhelming, Rodgers left in much worse circumstances than Kyogo, talking about sour tastes in mouths, how many mouths did Rodgers fill with bile when he left, but now it's a big love in for him, that's how politics works, they know the masses, us, have short memories.
03 Apr 2025 22:40:02
It was the board and the manager, that facilitated his leaving, they, I mean Rodgers looked at getting 10 million for him, as a way of balancing the books, after wasting 9 million on Idah.
03 Apr 2025 23:08:20
His contract wasn't up, why did the board let him leave?, why did the manager sanction it?, because he is not Rodgers type of player, he is a free spirit, he does not want to follow systems, he wants to play the match as the match develops, he is a natural, that is what is wrong with Scottish football, young players are not being allowed to play the way want, the way they feel, they are being over coached, and not being allowed to develop their natural abilities,
05 Apr 2025 01:26:25
I can’t believe what I am reading about the free spirit who left us in mid -season and still very much involved in Champions League .
It’s agreed by most people that when a player pushes hard to leave, wise managers and board usually agree to let him go, as they don’t want an unhappy player interfering with the firs team squad harmony and and togetherness
BR wouldn’t be as highly regarded as he is in UK football, if he had relied on our ist team’s tactics to be based solely on getting best possible service to a striker and not using the best skills of our other attacking players to create and score freely . Kyogo never played as a young player under BR and he given the freedom to play all over the pitch . The seasons that he scored heavily under Ange, ” his free spirit “ wings were severely cut as he played on the shoulder of the last defender . BR tried to improve his skill and participation in match by having him on the last defender’s shoulder, as well as coming short for ball and releasing another attacker who when he played ball in Kyogo would be in his key position.
