GordonS Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Reports seem to say he'll n ow be out for 3 months, which, helpfully for him, give him an excuse make him a doubt for the playoff games. He might be a guid Celtic laddie, but they must be pissing themselves laughing at the money they got for someone who has struggled to play more than a couple of games.He played a stupid number of games for Celtic before his injury. It's entirely possible overplaying him contributed to the injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got what they wanted and then poisoned the well. Particularly if after an unremarkable time, he goes back on loan, or perhaps even permanently in future for a far reduced fee. Of course, that's only good for Celtic. If they have overplayed him, then they've denied Scotland a very serviceable option. Luckily Robertson is arguably a better option, but I hope - for his sake at least - that we aren't talking in 10 years time about what might have been with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The amount of football he has played has absolutely nothing to do with a dislocated shoulder. My guess is that this injury will be good for him long-term because it will give him a chance to rest for a wee bit and then properly build back up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic have mugged Arsenal off with Tierney. Fair play to them getting them to agree to cough the dough up upfront for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a fully fit Tierney it would be a good price even though you can never say how a player will do in a new team/league for sure. 2019 Tierney at that price? Bit of a gamble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 If Arsenal sign Kurzawa then it looks like he'll be 3rd choice. It wouldn't surprise me if he's sent on loan next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically that's just paper talk. I'd imagine Arteta has barely seen him play, when anyone sees him at full tilt no danger you'd sell him. He's the best LB in the Premiership when fit, and will be Arsenal's best player next season imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 For a couple of years, Tierney played an almost identical role to how Arteta wants his LB to play. If Arteta thinks he's good enough then he'll be a really good fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a misconception that he hasn't done well at Arsenal. I would say along with Aubameyang he's the best player at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 He's actually done really well in the games he's played, was obviously their first choice and is highly rated by Arsenal fans. Here is a 42 page thread on an Arsenal forum about him, you'll see the consensus is he's done really well and they can't wait to have him back. Scottish people who seem to get off on doing down young Scottish players are absolute weirdos, unfortunately there seems to be a lot of them. But in reality he's done excellently there. https://arsenal-mania.com/forum/threads/kieran-tierney-2019-20-performances.33837/page-42 From the last page alone, zero negative comments, and these "Lookibg to be back to full training att the END of february! Great news! Hope he can get as many games as possible this season." "Would like to get him back this season...but if he can just focus on making sure he is ready to go for next year, and isn't injury prone, think he will be great here." "Sprinting in those pictures by the look of it so shouldn't be too far off. Hopefully after winter break" "Tierney was mighty impressive on his debut. Superb crossing and actual power to get past his man to deliver said crosses. We haven't had a full back at Arsenal that can do these two things for a long time." These are people who have actually been watching him and aren't demented weirdos who get off on talking down young Scottish footballers. Personally I do think he may end up leaving Arsenal in a couple of years, but it will be because he's too good for them and if they don't get back in the CL he'll be away to a club that are in it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
