    Kyogo. A phenomenon
    Kelvin Wilson - i have read some * about the boy, and historically, if I am being honest, there are times when I have doubted him and have said so.

    However - first up, the guy wants home. He doesn't want "English International football." We're talking about a guy who wanted to be closer to his daughter.

    Second up, if I am being brutally honest, he's our best CB.

    Third (most important) up - tonight, he got chucked in at the deep end. He said no - i'm fine to play. I'll do my job, and do it well. And by * he did.

    This thread is started as a thanks by me to a guy who has grown, game by game, in to a grand performer. I for one wish him very well, and will always remember him in a good light.

    Fair play son - you proved me wrong, and as an arrogant *, it's rare I will say that. All the best down the road - you will, to be honest, be very hard to replace.

    Only with the sands of time may some realise how well he did for us.

    If this was this time last year I would have said good riddance, I named him the worst defender I've ever seen... * me what a turnaround. I can only thank him for some of his performances last season and his part in the qualifiers so far this season.

    He's made a bad career move for his family and for his daughter. I have nothing but respect for him :50:

    I've thought for a while is comfortably our best centre back. He will certainly be missed. Cheers for the service Kelvin, wish you the best of luck with the rest of your career.

    Can't believe how important he has become for us after his poor first season. Gutted he's leaving but have to respect the guy if it's for his family.

    Good luck big man, you served us well:50:

    I'm pretty * with him leaving for family reasons when just a month ago he said he struggled at first but was now settling in at Celtic, and I've got to be perfectly honest, I've lost respect for him because of that, especially going back to the manager that froze him out. But still, I thought he was fantastic last season though, and he will be sorely missed. But now the objective is to find a suitable replacement and get him in soon.

    Good luck Kelvin.

    Totally agree, he was brilliant tonight as he's been for a while now, I've got nothing but praise for his time here and wish him all the best.

    Can't believe it's another regular gone, we better get the finger out and sign a couple of new players or we can kiss goodbye to the CL. We have played 3 competitive games this season against pro teams and its clear to see we need signings.

    Grateful for some of his performances this year. Gutted to see him go. Hooper and Wanyama I expected to go this window; but I didn't see this coming. :54:
