    He has the skills,but not the heart.Certainly not consistent enough...Felt that we revived his career and peaked with us last season.
    Bang on to sell now and get good money,

    He was dropped for Forrest more than once at the end of last season remember. Probably a good deal for everyone involved because I think he lost the heart for Scottish football but I’m sure he can be a good asset for Como.

    £15m for a sulky little * who turned up for 3 months in 2 years and went in a huff for the remainder of last season?

    Away you and talk * :56::56::56::56:

    10m for Kyogo shows you the disparate nature of the comparative kuhn fee imo.

    Kyogo is 30 years of age and had 2 years left on his contract. 10m was a bit low imo. 14-15 would've been fair.

    Kuhn is 25, and had FOUR years left on his contract, had shone in the CL and had impressive numbers for his position.... 15m is way off the estimate imo.

    I think the primary motivator for both players was international call ups, with Kyogo notably snubbed by that asshat of a Japan manager, who cited the weakness of the Scottish league, but had no issues picking Maeda.

    That hun * Nerlinger probably filled Kuhns head full of * too about Germany never picking him as long as he was a Celtic player.

    Nevertheless, 15m is a pisstake imo.

    If he plays like he did in the first half of the season, then £15m is a steal.

    If he plays like he did for the rest of his time hear, then Como have been robbed.

    £17m and if the player wants out as has been speculated is a good deal

    Shame he tailed off so dramatically after the first half of the season where he was almost unplayable. A decent sell on clause and a quick £15m profit is good business whatever way you cut it, but his value could've been higher with a better attitude.

    Do como have European football this season?

    Fair enough, hopefully we still have a sell on clause and he tears up Serie A.

    Good luck.

    He'll be on his way out of como in a years time. He'll end up back at Rapid or somewhere like that.

    We will miss his pace in Europe but the second half of the season he was a disgrace.
    Giving that * tae the fans as well which I don't mind as long as you continue to back it up. He didn't so away you go.
    A bit harsh considering his contribution in the first half of the season but just comes across far too arrogant.

    Seems the type to me who will go to como have a cracking season then get bored again and want another move. Nobody needs a player who picks and chooses when he turns up. Good bit of business…now time to reinvest the lot

    Most likely will never hit that purple patch peak he had here.

    Something went badly wrong when Jota rejoined and he hasn't been the same since.

    Nothing against him and wish him well, We will never get offered this good of a deal for him again....makes sense all round to let him go.

    However the replacement really matters and we absolutely must get it right.

    Hope we break his leg in the preseason smackdown. No longer a friendly. Must win.

    Bit more than £15m was it not. I definitely would have taken more but he's been pushing for a move for a while so that's likely a factor too.

    Reality is we've probably made as much in a year as we have on all but a few as I'm not hearing any noise about sell on percentages and he was a relatively cheap purchase.

    Good luck to him, few brilliant periods, some amazing moments but overall I prefer our players to try so it's not really one to moan about for me.

    The fee is annoying.

    When you look at Brighton paying about 60m for 2 Greek players who have barely played professional games or have Greece caps, it’s infuriating.

    Theyve probably got heart.
