    Proper classy guy..

    Seen a clip of his interview. There's never been any fake, scripted pish from him. Always felt genuine with no bullshit from the minute he walked in to the minute he left....with the sometimes awkward post match praise he would give teammates to the tragic stifler moves :giggle1:

    All the best *, Brighton will love you :BR1:

    Watched his Brighton video.

    We meant a lot to him and still do.

    Class act on the pitch, but even classier off it. Him and Hart are big misses for that very reason alone. At least we've had Schmeichel to slot in there for Hart.

    Replacing O'Riley is going to be massive.

    He would’ve been picked regardless for these but I know what you mean. He’s not played yet so wasn’t picked because he was cutting it down south.

    He's known about the Brighton interest for 2 months and clearly really, really wanted it to go through. Said it was all a bit too stressful at times too.

    Meanwhile, throughout that, he's been making a hugely positive influence both in pre-season and in our early league and cup games. He's not worrying about picking up an injury before any supposed big move. He's out there celebrating passionately with team-mates after they score in competitions he know he won't get medals for.

    He's showing the same affection and enthusiasm playing for Celtic as he did on day 1. The first player over to any team-mate who scores with a big grin on his face and pride beaming out of him.

    Sensational. Totally bucks the trend of what you expect from the modern-day player who's ready for a move away. His respect and love for this club has been shown more in the past few weeks than at any other point in his Celtic career.

    You have to laugh at how bitter the Scottish correspondents for Transfermarkt must be.

    Reported at €29.5m which would put it under £25m, in addition you have Jota’s sell on added to his fee we paid for him which is the only time I have seen that down across the full site.

    Sky Sports reported it as £26m rising to £30m with add ons, they are all over the EPL so you would think they would be accurate.

    Signs for an EPL team and is now deemed good enough?

    Sure a lot of their fans were confused/angry he didn't get a called up for the euros, and they've changed manager now, think it would have happened if he was still here anyway.

    I think he was destined for a call-up regardless.

    Should have been in that Euros squad but.

    The point is that it looks like players won't get called up to their national team whilst here.

    Same for Kyogo.
