Those sportswashing homophobic jerks can pay a premium if they want to buy within the league.
If he is leaving I want 70m.
If cucuwhateverhisname is costs that then
Tierney is a PL commodity. This is the kind of bid you get from Juve or Marseille (with the exception of some fruit and veg chucked in).
Weâre talking about an inner-PL transfer, where even without the backing of a gulf state, clubs can afford to pay a pretty sum for someone of Kieranâs stature.
Why are we always the schmucks that dabble in âfairâ fees. You have pissants like Fulham trying it on and wincing at ÂŁ15M. Fucking South London BELLENDS.
We canât be nice guys here, the Geordies are loaded, so cough up the clams, you haway merchants.
South West please mate thank you
All the same, isnât it?
Pretty sure people from south London would take offence to being associated with soft middle class ponces like me
Yes I do
Newcastle interest appears genuine. Both Wheatley and Hopkinson reported it.
Also, fullback is on the agenda as we know.
Iâll be very happy if we can sell him for ÂŁ30m.
40m or we shouldnât even be taking the call.
Those sportswashing dickheads should be paying huge premiums if they want to buy within England.
ok ÂŁ150m it is then
They paid 25m for Willock. Yep, bidding starts at 40m for a multi-time Scottish league winner, former captain and soon to be Premier League champion.
I still donât understand the logic of selling Tierney in the summer. He offers something different to Zinny at LB and is a very good player. We need to strengthen in other positions, so why weaken our strength and depth again at LB and give us a problem. Tavares is not an option at LB so it means going out and buying a new LB. Tierney hasnât been able to play a full season, but with CL football next season, plus cup runs, he will get more than enough match time to keep him happy and he will be in a team that can genuinely compete for titles and cups.
Unless we can sell for a big profit and bring in a player of equal or better quality for the same or less money, we have other priorities for the summer transfer window.
I really rate Tierney but itâs apparent that he doesnât fit our style of play and that Arteta doesnât fancy/trust him. There is quite a bit of logic to selling him.
Well we donât have to sell, but we can. Thatâs not a bad position to be in.
Yeah, but we have to find a replacement at least as good as Tierney and be able to buy the replacement for the same or less money we get from selling Tierney. Not easy and Iâm worried this weakens us again at LB.
I feel like this is overblown.
Prior to this season the main reason Tierney didnât play was due to injury. Just the season before we specifically bought a player to be his backup.
Zinchenko for sure brings something Arteta clealry likes that isnât in Tierneyâs locker but the game isnât so one dimensional that it then equates to the manager not liking or trusting his play. No doubt heâd like both Tierney and Zinny to improve different things.
I feel like too much has been made of the few Tomi appearances at LB. A player who himself lost his place to someone playing out of position and I donât hear the same stuff levelled his direction.
Think ideally Arteta would like Tierney to stay but if the bid is right and he wants to go (not convinced of that either) then itâs what will be the best for all.
There was one time Arteta stuck with Tavares when Tierney was fit back in 2021 tbf.
Cedric who barely played this season even got time at LB over Tierney when Arteta started going with Tomi.
I think Arteta does like Tierney but I donât think itâs unreasonable to say he doesnât necessarily fit in our system. Granted, Tierney has put the work in to fit into that. We saw it during those friendlies during the World Cup and in the brief time he played after, essentially tucking in like Zinchenko. Still very unnatural though and goes against his instincts.
Anyway, I think Tierney is better than being a bench warmer and if we can get a good fee for him I think it would be best for both parties to go their separate ways in the summer.
Itâs something that we have to get used to btw. We canât retain all our assets and itâll be essential for us to sell assets for good fees and reinvest accordingly. And it isnât just about us making money back but also players themselves wanting more game time.
Weâll find a replacement who fits the system better. No drama, no bad feelings, just the team evolving away from him. It happens.
