Kyogo Furuhashi

Didn't even get on

 

New manager perhaps doesn’t fancy him.

 

Matt O'Riley only got subbed on at 89 mins for Brighton too

Two players who combined well for goals at home against Atletico Madrid and Lazio last season

 

Both home for summer...?

 

Brighton fans have been a bit harsh on O'Riley I think. He had a terrible injury and came back into a side not in great form. Their manager, for whatever reason, hasn't really given him a fair run of games. Seems to come off the bench most of the time and barely play. Had about the equivalent of 5 full games so far. Think his quality will shine through eventually but.

Kyogo's move was a bizarre one though. New manager in right away and not even getting off the bench tonight doesn't bode well. Hopefully he finds his way.

 

Move looks more and more stupid by each passing game.

More chance of me getting called up for Japan world cup squad than him

 

Would happily buy Kyogo back for £3m and O'Riley for £10m in 12-24 months down the line.

 

Knock an extra couple of million of those prices and the job is yours young man

 

You're never too big to greet

 

I think there's certain players I get bit emotional, or at least very nostalgic when they move on and Kyogo was one of them.....Henrik obviously, and Stan Petrov too....

Wee kyogo had an infectious enthusiasm. Very humble at the same time...Although I wouldn't have known if he was a complete arrogant * since I understand absolute zero Japanese. You just got the impression that he was likable.

Some very important goals he scored for us. Put the huns to the samurai sword a lot of times which always gets you extra kudos. His highlights video is awesome.

Was he our best striker since Larsson?....well if you don't include Sutton or Hartson who played on after Larsson.....then it's a tight call between Kyogo and Dembelle.

 

So would I but it's a rare thing to re-sign a player. (Even although we've just re-signed 2!)

It's dependent on the player wanting to come back...some players just won't go back the way. Some won't take a pay cut even to if its to come back to Celtic.

I didn't expect Jota back at all. I thought that was him away making crazy doe...never to return. I kinda had a feeling about Tierney...but not this early...I thought he'd come back in his mid 30s probably.

One player I'd love back........Carl Starfelt.....he'd still be here if it wasn't for that bird of his moving to Spain. He went to Celta Vigo. Another uninspiring club. He didn't want to leave but Jacynta was hypnotic and you'd follow her about like a wee Collie dug if she was your fancypiece
