    If he is moving on I genuinely don’t give a monkey’s what he ends up doing unless he has add ons in the sale.

    If he is going and it’s all but done, let’s get it done and get his replacement in. Same goes for others that want to move on.

    If the rumours are true and he is for the off anything like 12-15 million is fair enough for him.

    paid 3 for him and be good money back

    I would say don't let the door hit you in the * on the way out but he would likely bottle the 70/30 and have some * hawd it open for him. Another * i will have to Google in a few years to see which 3rd division dross his pisspoor attitude got him to in his peak years.

    He doesn’t have the mentality and attitude to play for a big club like Celtic. Get the wee mouse to *.

    Same old story.

    Teams block the middle of the park so we take the Rodgers route of going wide to keep possession. The winger is then expected to ‘make something happen’ which means beat an overload of at least 2, sometimes 3 players and either score or put it on a plate for someone else to score.

    Oh and they’ve to do that for most of the game, every game, or they’re *.

    And if they lose the ball trying to beat 2-3 men, they’re *.

    Then the chorus of, “We need better wingers”, as if they won’t face the same criticism in a few months anyway.

    Seen it with just about every winger we’ve had under Rodgers. It’s a failure of tactics.

    I know it was under Lennon, but Frimpong had the same problem. We had arguably the best attacking RB in the world at our club but he failed to beat 3 men and create a goal every game so took nothing but stick.

    The guys in the middle of the park are supposed to work the ball quickly and open space for the wingers, not the other way around. If you do that ours are lethal but if you just surrender the middle of the park every game for fear of losing the ball then go out wide for safety then * all will happen most of the time.

    I'd keep him barring a huge unexpected offer. Can't afford to lose both him and Jota for next season. He was our POTY up until the Bayern Munich games. Got injured in the 2nd leg and never recaptured his form after that. Might have lost his motivation since the league was already in the bag by then. If so, it's also BR's fault that he failed to keep him motivated. The talent is definitely there. When he's on form, he's top class.

    Didn't mind his celebration as long as he then recaptured his early season form, fact of the matter is that he didn't. He was tragic on Saturday and hasn't looked bothered for a while.

    Jota was able to beat his man constantly when he was fit.

    Kuhn done it regularly early on in the season, then suddenly can't beat one man.

    Even Maeda, who isn't a technical winger, was beating his man regularly throughout this season.

    Kuhn's sudden drop in form is not all on tactics, that's on a winger that has clearly checked out, tactics (the same tactics we played during the first half of the season) aren't the reason Kuhn has suddenly dropped the ball, he's clearly mentally elsewhere.

    Even going back to his first spell, Forrest, Roberts and Sinclair were all excellent and excelled under Rodgers, Sinclair did start to decline but he was never a tricky winger to begin with, the other two excelled during their time under Rodgers.

    So I think it's a bit daft to point Kuhn's form solely on Rodgers tactics, I think he's either a coward who wanted to leave in January and is playing to avoid an injury, or someone who went through a 6 month purple patch.

    Would bite your hand off for £15m. Kvistgaarden and Balikwisha could be brought in for that fee. So, aye. Time to move on.

    I'm all for players moving on but if he's already out the door within days of the cup final then he deserves slaughtering..

    Been stinking the place out for month's. Bottling challenges. Losing out on goals on the line where he's 90/10 favourite to tap in. Playing safe. Hiding. Moody * face. Cheek to give it to the fans on the day we won the league at Tannadice..

    He's a quality player. I don't buy this talk that it's only a purple patch, he has real real quality, dynamism and it's been proven at the top table for us and with his numbers overall. He just has a * poor attitude that makes him unlikable..

    He was bombed about top academies. Had to drop down to an also ran Austrian side..

    We gave him the platform and 6 month's of albeit, outstanding form and he decided to chuck it..

    Zero respect for that..

    But....RODGERS!

    Let's ignore his 21 goals and 15 assists also provided under...Rodgers!

    This place is mental.

    No chance anyone is paying 15m for him after second half of that season.

    Just looks like a purple patch now.

    Normally we would see a report from someone

    Perhaps the rumors that he's in Germany finishing up his transfer are bogus.
