Yeah that fact makes me think it’s rubbish, when do city do opening bids. It’s all hush till the price is agreed. First bid is usually the last

People often say that, because an itk once said it. But it is most likely not true as we have seen multiple times. Clubs negotiate, and submit and reject offers if unhappy with amounts, terms, structure etc. Ours included.

But yeah I do think the claim itself is rubbish.
 
Bookies are offering odds on his 'replacement'

'list of odds for Kyogo transfer replacements
Lawrence Shankland 2/1
Hwang Hee-Chan 5/1
Aaron Connolly 6/1
Taiwo Awoniyi 13/2
Chris Wood 9/1
Tom Cannon 10/1
Raheem Sterling 14/1
Anthony Martial 25/1

Doesn't particularly mean anything other than a growing perception of an expectation he will be sold.

Also let's be honest, his stats look alright. Sure a couple of seasons ago, he got 27 goals, but last season, it was 19 in all competitions and only 14 in 38 in the league.

So he’s behind Cyriel Dessers and Lawrence Shankland?

You can get Shankland for £3 million
 
Personally I think he fits the role well. Good work rate and a decent finisher, has a knack for being in the right place. Age isn't a concern as we're especially looking for someone who doesn't expect to start right now but can offer a different option on the forward line.

Decent transfer fee, if it fails we don't stand to lose much. I'm not arsed about shirt sales either way.

Most pleasing is that we're obviously looking at a certain type of striker, hard working technically competent and low risk. If it doesn't come off, and I can't see why it wouldn't if we're just a few million away on valuation, then fine also, but could be that extra few goals a year that we need to keep our noses in front.

Sterling is on that list! Must be easy being a bookie. Take advantage of people who don’t know anything about football and watch free money roll in.

I think it's more his work rate and movement we are interested in. Also his wages will be pretty low and I would imagine that at his age if he joins he will be content to sit on bench.

Just the same as down there. He changed his agent recently, one that is connected to the City Group. That obviously raised an eyebrow or two. He is 29 and may want to try his luck in a better league. The whole support are seriously fucked off with our boards lack of action in the transfer market. Everyone and their aunty know what we need. So far, nothing. Not one of those positions filled, CB, LB, CM and now that O’Riley seems to be off, someone to replace him.

If Kyogo is allowed to leave, without an adequate replacement, no laughing at the back the fans will go mental. Every time we look like we are three players away from stepping up a level, our board sell our best and haven’t any proper replacements. We are sick of it.

He is class. I look at the over inflated prices paid for shit down there. It’s truly astounding, Kyogo is a player and you wouldn't regret buying him, I would, but you wouidn’t.

Fair enough but is he good enough to step up to our team when called upon. Not being funny but there's a huge difference in quality of the SPL and EPL.

Easily. You lot need to stop judging a player by the league. He is class. I would want about £18-20m for him. You spend that much on ballboys.
 
As we soon go into the lonely dark winter months I think its our duty to ensure that any of these latest signings have heating vouchers and bus passes within their meager contracts. I do hope we are being considerate of the senior community. #decent.

I watch Celtic quite a bit i'm from Irish Catholic roots from Colyhurst north Manchester which was populated by Irish immigrants years ago every time i watch Kyogoi'm impressed, he works his bollocks off, decent finisher and can play all across the front line, think he'd be great here.

We have enough player with his skill set/player profile. The cost of the transfer would be better invested to subsidize match day tickets for fans.

If you did you wouidnt be looking at him. Who would you trust? Me and Pep, or an inbuilt bias against a league? Trust me, he is class.
