Agreed with the dribbling need. Especially Sandro, he's almost as good as Marcelo in that department.
Kieran Tierney
- Thread starter Adnan
- Start date
I do feel we are getting two LBs or one experienced LB and one youngster who can play as LB & RB.
Valencia is Mourinho's captain, he trusts him and for Mourinho trust > talent. So I expect Valencia, Young and new LB who can play as RB to be our options in the right next year
If we are signing Sandro and Tierney, that would mean an outlay of 65-70 mill without add ons.
If we manage to sell Shaw, Blind, Darmian for 45 Mill,that would mean a net outlay of about 20 - 25 million,which leaves 125 mill for a CB and 2 CM

Great assist for the first goal in the celtic game.
Not sure what to make of him to be honest. He seems good but gun-to-head, do I think he's the quality to take us to the next level?
.....No, I don't, I don't think.
I'd rather we target someone else.

I agree. I know its 1 game but i wasn't too impressed with him against Rangers today. Doubt if he can make he jump to Premier League standards.
Just a shame Robertson is at pool. I'd love him at United.
A lot of the Tartan Army rate him higher than Robertson. Think he should be playing left back and Robertson moved to left wing.
At the moment he's playing left sided CB in a 3-5-2 for them.

At the start of the season I would have said Tierney was better, but Robertson has improved hugely and established himself in that Liverpool team so is probably ahead now.
I would say Tierney and Robertson are at a similar standard, Robertson has had more of a platform to showcase himself at a better level.
Daddy daddy want want
Would normally be all for a signing like this, but no matter the talent it is still a gamble, and our FB positions need definite and guaranteed sorting.
Bar a miracle, Liverpool will soon play a CL final with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson as their fullbacks.
Honestly not sure we need established top players to improve, even if they seem like a safer bet.
latest communication between Celtic and Tierney is that he's told them he wants to be part of 10 in a row, and he wants some game time as a central midfielder next season.
Who even gives a shit about 10 tin pot leagues in a row. Anyway, lets focus on the proven top quality Sandro and let this guy stay in Scotland.
every single celtic fan in the world, every current and former player who know all about rangers "domination" in the 90s.
Gets me a bit mad every time I hear this, buying players that have done it all over players with a high ceiling and everything to prove is turning out to be a failing model for us.
Means feck all really considering Rangers weren’t even playing in the same league for around half of those titles.
Again, try telling that to the millions of fans if they get that 10 in a row.
I supported Celtic when I was younger in the late 90's and early 2000's, but I can realise the league is complete dirt and they are winning titles with zero competition.
So you’re no longer a fan? Perfect, as you were, glad we got rid of you.
Well I just didn't change religion and start supporting Rangers, so in the sense I'm still a Celtic 'supporter', I just don't see the complete addiction in winning 10 league titles in a row when there was practically zero competition. It would still be a good achievement, but nothing truly amazing. The true fascination about sport is the cut throat rivalry and all the ups and downs that comes with that, not just the easy ups.
When something like that happens, and you’re the fan of the club it happens to, you abandon logic and just celebrate the achievement as if it’s the most impressive thing in the world. If the other big 5 clubs all went bankrupt, and united won the next 10 league titles do you think our fans would ever stop rubbing it in? Even though the competition isn’t there, the right to gloat remains. Besides, Celtic are only registered to play in one league in the world, so all they can do is win that league. 10 in a row will be the best part of the clubs history, surpassing the 1967 victory. Yes it’s been an easier path, but the end goal doesn’t change. The chance to say 10 in a row to rangers fans knowing that it would take a minimum decade + 1 year of dominance for them to ever beat it is just too amazing for any real fan not to milk every second of it.
Funny thing is the points difference between 1st n 2nd in the league is higher in pl, france, Germany n Spain than spl.
And that’s Celtic fault? I think not and if you asked most Celtic fans I know they’d love Rangers to go under again. Titles are titles and you can only play who’s in the league. The fact rangers weren’t is their problem and not Celtics or whoever else happened to win the league.
Was with you to this point. Ten in a row wouldn’t eclipse the 67 for me.
He'd be better off playing for for a midtable PL side. Maybe we could sign him after a year or two of that.
Celtic just won their 7th right?
No, but it tarnishes the achievement sadly.
There are just two teams capable of winning the SPL so take one out of the equation for 4 years and well...
Years ago I’d agree but nowadays is it worth the risk? We should have signed VVD for peanuts (said at the time so not hindsight) problem being he goes to mid table club plays well then suddenly feckin £75m it’s mental nowadays. If we bought Tierney for £20m and he was average then biggest loss what £5-10m and you always have the up side if he’s good.
I get that totally but that’s not Celtics fault so I don’t think it does tarnish their achievement. They play very nice football and bring through talent, Celtic have their house well in order.
I’ve always believed that the successes I’ve been alive for should count for more, but I understand the alternative view
Hopefully Robertson’s form for Liverpool helps ease a few doubts on here as in my opinion Tierney is a better player than Robertson.
This
This and this.
Except he isn't going to cost anything less than 25m
exactly that's peanuts in today's market.....
Like the look of this lad, looks to have a good mentality too. Much prefer a signing like this over Sandro, who doesn’t look anything special in my opinion.
I’m not so sure buddy £20-25m I couldn’t see Celtic turn that down.
