Kieran Tierney


Recommended Posts

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.

In that case, even better from Celtic's perspective.  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.

Celtic have mugged Arsenal off with Tierney.  Fair play to them getting them to agree to cough the dough up upfront for him.

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.

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. 

If arsenal thought Kolasinac was any good I don't think they would be signing Kurzawa.

Tierney will be first choice left back with ease before the seasons out.

Arsenal seem to be willing to let tierney go and recoup their money and Leicester willing to pay the 25 million in summer

Read that too.  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.

Done nothing to their best player

I'd be surprised if another top end of the EPL club gave him another chance at it considering how badly he's managed there so far. 

An Aston Villa type move, IMO.

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.

What makes you think he's done badly at Arsenal?

They're willing to cut their losses and punt him and carry on with the likes of Kolasinac and Sako.
