    Wouldnt blame Kyogo for wanting a move, although he has been off form, in general he is levels above most of the team and has minimal service to work with. Both our wingers would rather cut inside than cross the ball and our midfield would rather pass backwards and sideways than look for the strikers run. Rodgers style is a big problem for a striker like kyogo and Rodgers wants goals to come from everyone rather than just a striker. Personally i would rather keep Kyogo and try to get better service to him. I would still bring in another striker and try and move Idah on or put out on loan.

    Kyogos Mince. 2 years ago last time he was good. His decision making's horrible. hits shots past post & over the bar most of time. He did hit ball straight at keeper. a slight improvement. Idah should be starting ahead of him & get Johnny Kenny back. 5 goals in Europe. League of Irelands top scorer & statistically Italian teams have signed 3x young players from Ireland compared to SCotland (Hickey, Ferguson, Doig.) Italian clubs see League of Ireland choc full of teens with ability compared to Scotland so Johnny Kenny who keeps winning award 21 yrs old should be back. Better than current Kyogo version 2024.

    • @jackjones1249

Teams much worse than the worst team in the champions league this season (Bratislava) who we also scored 5 against. Doing well at Shamrock Rovers and doing well at Celtic are 2 completely different challenges. Kenny is NOT the answer mate.

    I think get kvistgarden in during the January window and look to move kyogo on during the summer window. That way we still have our 2 main strikers and then bring Kenny in as a 3rd. Then if we get jota and Tierney in, maybe lennon Miller and another rw, that's a pretty unstoppable team.

    Kyogo was great first 2 years. 4 seasons now & hes been poor past 2 seasons. He's invisible in Europe. 1 goal v Atletico Madrid but he's mostly anonymous. His decision making/greed is woeful. He's holding us back in this form. & i have a Celtic top & Japan shirt with Kyogo on back but folk need to be realistic. If he was Scottish putting in thjese performances he'd be slated & i was surprised in window folk on here were saying we cant sell Kyogo. I wanted him punted. 2 years he's been average at best. Shankland scored 10+ more in a struggling Hearts side last year.

Hatate hasn't been giving anything positive at all past few games in a goalthreat sense, and other than those two who is going to make chances for the team? Bit worrying imo, we have a severe lack of creativity when playing against a passive, mid/low-block setup.
