Kyogo Furuhashi

Sorry if this has been covered but..

Did kyogo choose to go to Rennes and it just so happened they had a player we wanted so we could pay less for him with this deal. Or did he want out and this deal will double his wages so he didn’t care where he went, even though they are 5 point from the bottom side. Any other angles I’ve missed

 

This is a good question. It does seem a little convenient that he's heading to the same club we're getting Jota from. My assumption is that we asked him 'want to go to Rennes' and he went 'aye, why not'.

 

This seems to be a player led decision and Kyogo has been sensational for us, I would prefer to have kept him until the summer but it is what it is. He has been sensational. I would only have Dembele above him in regards the best since Larsson (Bellamy was sensational too but wasn't permanent). Loved Kyogo. What a striker and hunskelper. He will always be an icon here now.

 

Thought he have more ambition than 5th bottom Rennes, good luck to him though

 

It’s all about the £££ …. It always wins over ambition.

 

I'm not convinced he will be getting that much more at Rennes.

Tbf I don't think we realise how boring it must get playing in the SPFL at times for players. Some players just fancy a change. It isn't necessarily always all about the money.

 

There's no chance Rennes are paying him considerably more than we are/was.

£19k seemingly here and that's about their squad average (some higher of course).

I'd imagine he will go there on 20-25k.

And I imagine the entire idea for Kyogo is to have a challenge in a new league and see if he gets a chance in the national squad again before he eventually moves back east.

Rennes might pay more than Celtic but they are club going nowhere in a league thats mostly been dominated by one team. And play in front of about 20k fans.

I find it really hard to understand Kyogo would be in a rush to go there given we are chasing a treble and through to knockout champions league football. He could have stayed an extra 4 months, experienced champions league knockout football and enjoyed signing off in front of the fans with a treble.

Then at the end of the season he could have got his move and quite possibly had better offers than Rennes to look at.

 

I think he'll struggle in Ligue 1.

In a system completely dedicated and tailored to his strengths he might be alright. But the league is very, very physical. Not many people realise that.

 

On the other hand Sampaoli is probably the perfect manager for him. Probably about as close to the Ange/Bielsa archtype as you're going to get.

 

With his movement and skill at hanging offside and cutting back in when play breaks forward, he could get a lot of joy for a lower half team on the counter. He won't be playing against parked buses, that's probably more of a constant physical struggle for him here with the way we play now, and his goal tally the last year reflects that.

 

Nah the poll results are emotion based while most can see that it’s about right for him to move on, for his own reasons.

I voted no, but I purely see the sense all round for this move. Even going to Rennes makes sense to me, a cold night in Paris or Monaco has a bit more to it than a cold night in Dingwall.

 

It's the same every time someone good is linked away, there were folks in denial that Jota wasn't going to take the saudi money, or Ange was never going to leave us for Spurs as if the EPl isn't a step up, just stay another season and they'll get a bigger move next year!

 

Something I'm a bit confused about is whether this is a swap with add-ons or two actual monetary deals. Some people seem to be intimating it's a swap with £2m coming our way, whereas others are implying it's two separate £8m and £10m deals.

I don't think it makes a good deal of difference financially because there is no tax on transfers with clubs outside the UK, but I'd be interested to know all the same.

 

2 separate deals..

But, must have been easier to negotiate after Kyogo was getting done.

 

Something off with him this season, them sitters he constantly missed.
Could it be he got it in his head that he was in decline and just wanted out to save his reputation?
Leaving Celtic, with CL football and lots of trophy's, to go to a relegation slog just doesn't add up.
Nets 3 goals in CL and then whisked off on a private jet the next day, *??
Or has BR just told him that we are going in a different direction with our main striker?

 

Think it’s a simple case of wanting a change and wanting a fair crack at the national team with their coach apparently not rating our league. Wouldn’t look into it any more than that

 

Our league is *, worst it’s been in a long time. Think as a club we are as strong as we’ve been in a long time though.

 

I think it’s two independent deals because if the Jota deal was to fall through, for example, we would still get £10m for Kyogo and he would go to Rennes.

In other words it sounds like the deals have no dependency on each other.
