    His agent must love how he constantly is moving as well.

    Loved him. Would give my left * for us to have a striker like him again, but a touch more refined.

    Yep he might have been a * but i could understand his frustrations rarely enough, but oh my * he was * DEADLY. Extremely underrated. Someone like him is what i want right now.

    In talks with PAOK he’s literally everything Idah is not.

    This.

    Can't forget just how amazing Kyogo was under Ange.

    Forwards before Kyogo where pretty decent too. Not sure Giakoumakis would have got close to 1st choice anytime in the last 10 years.

    I did like him but does feel like a lot of people are remembering a different player from me.

    I would take GG back in a heartbeat.

    He shouldn't have been shunted out the club in the first place. We wouldn't have had to shell out £9M on Idah.
    I blame Ange for that fiasco.

    He was good for a goal off the bench. Got a couple of late ones in his time too.

    But * me he isn’t half 10x the player he was now that he’s gone

    I liked him but I think it's a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder. He missed a power of sitters and his stats are cracking but mainly down to scoring back to back hat tricks

    Couple of overhead kicks I think too which always makes you look a bit flashier as a player.

    I liked him, but similar to Kyogo I think he benefited from playing in Ange’s system where 90% of the time he was able to utilise his one-touch finishes. That wouldn’t be the case with Rodgers and he’d be expected to get on the ball a lot more. People may have forgotten that on the rare occasions he did so under Ange, his touch and passing wasn’t really any better than Idah’s.

    He'd walk into our XI easily.
