Kieran Tierney (3)

Celtic are unsure on the structure of the deal.

This is like when Barcelona needed a RB and were supposed to be going to bid around 60m for Bellerin.

It’s never going to happen.
Where are Real Madrid going to get that sort of money for a LB?

Tierney is a good LB but he’s not exactly Roberto Carlos or Andre Santos. :grinning:

Jack is the culprit here. I’ll blame him for Kieran looking out of sorts this season.

Btw, a prediction from me. Tierney will be back at Celtic within the next 4-5 years.

They won’t forgive him for giving up on McDecima

When he’s on form and fully fit he looks like one of the best left backs in the league but he’s had too many indifferent performances this season where he looks like he’s perhaps been playing with a niggle or two.

Looks notably better than Tavares in recent months and would be worried how we cover him if he goes.

They didn’t actually achieve that in the end did they?

Of course they didn’t. They hired Neil Lennon instead of a real manager.

Wasn’t even close either. Think there was about 25 points in it in the end.

My favourite thing about it was all the merchandise made in advance. ā€œHere we go, 10 in a rowā€ T-shirts and the like.

:joy:

I mean, they probably weren’t out of pocket, surely a lot of that got bought by Rangers fans?

FIFY :grinning_face:

Really concerned about Tierney lately

Didn’t seem at the races defensively today and it pulled the whole defense out of shape by the looks.

He’s been fantastic in the past but not so good lately. Hope he gets back on track soon. Wonder if he’s carrying a niggle but Arteta doesn’t trust Tavares enough to give Tierney an extended rest.

There was (I thought) a good question on Arsecast today. Essentially it was does Tierney just look ordinary now that he’s surrounded by much better players whereas when he came is he was probably our best player for a while.

I also think we’re really missing Tomiyasu.

It’s a good point but I feel pretty sure he’s not at his previous level in recent weeks

He had a good patch when he came in for Tavares early season.

I wonder if the Real Madrid talk has distracted him.

I don’t think Tierney ever genuinely believed Real Madrid wanted him. I just genuinely think his quality is a little exposed at the moment because he;

A) doesn’t have a consistent left wing partner to build any reasonable understanding with

B) our others players are better and that’s maybe exposing him a bit more. He’s weak in isolated defensive situations and a bit repetitive as an attacking player

C) he was genuinely our least problematic defender for his early period here but now he’s probably the biggest issue and that’s being highlighted right now
