    You're doing Ange a huge discredit if you think he couldn't make a 2 striker system with the 2 best strikers in the league work to also smash teams.

    6 months later Kyogo is off form while we draw 0-0 at home to St Johnstone and GG is scoring for fun in the MLS.

    I've done Ange no discredit, I said his system was working and there was no need to change it, you're wanting him to fix something that wasn't broken to appease the ego of one player, which he quite rightly would never do.

    Aye. I thought the money at Atlanta would have been decent though

    I think it is pretty decent, but Cruz Azul are probably willing to pay as much, if not more and he'll probably get a tidy signing bonus.

    I wonder do we have a sell on percentage clause in our deal from when we sold him to Atlanta?

    See to be fair, lads having a interesting journey of a career.

    If I was a pro player, I'd rather play in mls, Mexico etc than be * around like a yo-yo in England

    I know he's done good in the MLS, but $10m seems a bit of a mental fee for effectively one good season over there.

    No idea, would imagine we would as standard.

    Hopefully.

    Good season in Holland, good season and half with Celtic, good season in mls.
    He's on a strong run of 3-4 years now.

    Weird career progression but fair play to him. Clearly wants to see the world while enjoying his football.

    Think we do
    We didn’t make much of a profit when we sold him

    Value has doubled in 18 months. Not our greatest bit of business in hindsight.
