He played all 90 for us on 3/13, 3/16, and 3/19 right leading up the break. Why does Scotland need to play him the full 90 for both their friendlies? Honestly, they have as much incentive to keep him healthy as we do.

Yeah he needs to go at this point.
People are too harsh, forgetting his main injury was because he was pushed over by some West Ham cunt and hurt his shoulder.

I remember you championing the idea of moving on from him last year and like most high iq takes it was highly controversial.
Definitely starting to look like youāre right, the only saving grace is we might be able to coax a big fee out of someone like Real as reported.
Thank god Eduteta had the sense to look at someone like Tavares.
Such a shame really because I feel like the manager the fans and the players all want Tierney to succeed and maybe even bea long term Captain. Matters fuck all though if he canāt string games together.

Hope Robertson gets injured as well and Scotland get fucked in their playoff 
Looking like a real astute signing about now.
Definitely better than expecting Tierney to play all season or putting sometime out of position in there.
Also when you get beat from a set piece like that itās never just one person at fault
Thatās 3 seasons and never reached 30 games in a campaign. Simply not good enough.

Mikel need to assess his constant injury situation and take a call on whether he can be relied upon to play 90% of a season. I think we need to find another LB cause I donāt think KT can be relied upon. He isnāt 18 - 19 where injuries can be expected as his body is still developing.
The problem is that with Tavares being no good, weāll need to look for a backup LB as well. Big summer again.
Canāt believe his British knee has reverted to being Scottish.
I donāt think anyone is giving us a big fee for him tbh, the Real link is garbage and Mendy is a very good FB
In any case the LB spot has become a real problem for us now, can we really afford another season like this from Tierney?

Werenāt you telling me how great VinnC was doing?
Vinicius? Heās still doing well tbf
Will they still buy TirnyC for 50Ā£?
I genuinely am fed up of this guy.
Not only do I think heās genuinely upgradable anyway, but his fitness record makes upgrading him much more important.
Weāve got two crock full backs. And now I have to watch Cedric and probably Xhaka at LB for the rest of the season

Weāve gave him three seasons to see if his injuries were behind him. Heās a nice guy with an excellent mentality but we canāt rely on him as our number 1 left back anymore. Specially when we donāt buy good enough backup for when he gets one of his injuries
This is so true. Heās not exactly setting the league on fire when heās fit and playing. As for his injury record, am getting major Ledley King vibes. Canāt expect more than 20 - 25 games from him in a season.
Ideally, we should sign a top quality LB with KT as the backup but that wonāt happen.

So add LB to the must-buy list with CF and CM
Could really do with a youngster on the books coming through here.
Need to prioritise development on this position going forward.
It shouldnāt be as difficult as other areas on the pitch.
I get what you mean but to have a starting caliber FB talent come through for a top club is rare.
Would be lovely though.
