    I want him back because he was great for us. But mostly because I want to hear Brendan try to pronounce his name again.

    Think this is mad tbh.

    He's only 25. Made a poor move (albeit not financially) and just hasn't got back on his feet.

    When sinclair came to us at 27 folk were saying sumular until he started working with Rodgers again. I also doubt he's lost any motivation, particularly playing for us.

    Agreed.

    He may have lost a bit of spark to him, who knows.
    But the two situations he's found himself in, aren't his fault and * happens. He just needs to move on again, quickly, to find somewhere to call home.

    If that's us, I'd be absolutely over the moon.
    If not us, he's one of the few players I think most of us would like to see do well and have a good and enjoyable career.

    Saudi was all money, no doubt about it. Along with the culture experience for a guy who likes to see the world.
    France was to try and find his place again. He picked a good sized club as well. But changing of managers while he was injured, that's not his fault at all.

    You have to spend a full tax year in Saudi to get it tax free, which means from April to April. He never got that so he was paying some form of tax in Saudi. It’s highly likely he was given some sort of incentive to leave but we will never know.

    In terms of tax to this country, he will be taxed on the earnings he gets from when he signs with us. He paid his tax up to the point of leaving the country, he will not have to pay any tax on the money he made over there because it would have already been taxed. In fact, it’s likely he paid a large tax in France when he joined Rennes.

    If he wants to come here, he will come here because the club will 100% be interested in signing him if he’s available.

    Yeah I want him back hopefully it can happen and he's coming back to somewhere that suits both parties... but Brendan saying "Brownie" was the best for me :57:

    If he gets to the level he was at when playing for Celtic I’ll eat my hat.

    Unfortunately, lack of ambition at that age can have consequences.

    Nice player but we can’t have folk who aren’t committed to the cause and as far as the Twitter rumours suggests, he’s not keen on a return to Scotland.

    Leave him be

    Literally life changing money and a lot of football eyes (not fans) on the Saudi situation last few seasons.

    Lack of ambition is a bit harsh to be throwing out there.

    He was outstanding but I'm kinda with you on this..

    For one, i don't see it happening again anyway but two, I think we should be looking elsewhere..

    Just the gut feeling that we've had that special time and I don't think it would be as good this time around..

    Another thing that has to be remembered is he and Ange were meant to have had an excellent relationship. In fact Ange is the only coach to rely get his top level from him.

    There is definitely a chance he could come back be one of the main men again and thrive in that role, as I think he did have star quality. At the end of the day the finances involved for the club and him were above his value anywhere bar Saudi.

    Fair enough.

    Will agree to disagree. I still think he just needs to get settled and back upto speed somewhere. You don't lose the talent he had in 18 months or so.

    I don't thjnk he will be back here for what it's worth but I definitely wouldn't say no.

    I mean he did love it here and was idolised...

    If he came back he wouldn't be half hearted, made his money etc.. he'd be playing for the jersey and us..

    It could definitely work.

    Whether Rodgers wants him, is a different matter.

    Watching a compilation of Kyogo's goals and the service he provided him was brilliant. Not always a fan of going after former players but if it was an option I'd definitely want him back. Not sure it's in his plans though.
