    Would be genuinely gutted at this.

    Over the course of a season he’s so crucial to us. Absolutely ragdolls them any time we play them as well.

    He's contacted to 2026, would be annoyed to lose him at this point.

    I do however recall an interview he done and stated that he would be open to a move sooner rather than later. At 28 if he were to stay another season, a bigger move may become less achievable.

    If he goes it'll be for a healthy profit and we'll reinvest, I'm sure Ange already has a shortlist of strikers scouted so we won't be left scrambling for a replacement, I'd prefer he at least stayed settled til the end of the season though.

    I would be telling him he is staying to summer that’s it. Then he will get his move but I am dubious about the record they are wanking over Beale.

    will be linking CCV AWAY next

    Only give him more money if he starts scoring penalties

    If there's truth in it, and thats a big if, and he's unhappy with his money or his status as potentially second choice.

    Then signing that Korean bhoy in Jan, and keeping the 'Jak' till summer if Ange believes he won't throw in the towel makes perfect sense.

    It eases the pressure on the in coming striker to hit the ground running, plus ticks the box of having 3 quality strikers so if one does get injured we can have someone else lined up to come off the bench in games.

    Hope he stays, has a habit of scoring big goals and really helps drive the team.

    Think he will be frustrated at being switched constant , think he would score loads more if given a run

    Would like to keep him but wouldn’t be devastated if he goes at the end of the season. January should be off limits though.

    Like the sound of this South Korean striker. Hopefully we bring him in.

    It would be a shame to lose him but it’s his choice.

    Hopefully it is his choice and not us lowballing and going back on promises because that ain't a good look

    Would be a shame but not surprising. If I had a goal record like his but wasn’t starting many I would wanna move. Hard keeping good players happy but Ange has tried you must admit.

    I called him leaving weeks ago. Expected the summer though, not January. I would prefer him to see out the campaign. He was vital in the run in last season.

    Sign Cho in January, promise GG his move in the summer.

    Only player I’m happy to see go in January is JJ and even then, I’d rather that was the summer too. However, if there’s a couple of bids, we can’t turn them down if they’re good money. Our new model under Ange, we need to continue to improve and that means selling players when there is good money on the table for them.

    For what it’s worth, the South Korean lad looks a massive upgrade on GG and I say that with a heavy heart. * love big Zeus. If we really are interested in Cho, we need to get it over the line as soon as we can. You don’t have Dortmund looking at you for no reason.

    If he really does want to go then best to let him and get as much as we can to reinvest ASAP. There's not much to be gained by hanging on to an unhappy player. Hopefully it is just the usual made up paper bollocks though.

    Don't think it's a coincidence that the Scottish Media are leaking out these negative stories, while simultaneously trying to foster a bit of positivity over in Govan.

    Whatever the contract renewal situations are, I trust Ange has it in hand for successive planning. We never stop....

    GGs probably fed up of being punished for getting kicked, pulled and hawked every match.
