Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 BBC reporting Sellik have accepted £25m from Arsenal for Tierney. How are other clubs gonna keep up with Celtic financially, going forward? The gap is continually widening. It'll be interesting to see how much we value Souttar at when bids start coming in...

Bull's-eye Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Easily. Stop decrying Scottish Football as the bastion of garbage eye bleeding football that's not fit for purpose. That rules Hearts supporters out I suppose, just have to hope every other club does us a favour and portrays our league in a better light. Breath not holding.

busby1985 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Was sure he’d get a top 4 side in England, after all he is the best player Scotland has ever produced........he’ll be back on loan at Celtic in 2021 and will still somehow mange to get Scotland caps playing for the Arsenal reserves.

Bazzas right boot Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Arsenal are skint. Spent £72m on a player. £25m on another. £18m or so on a player they loaned back. Not sure English clubs understand what skint is. Will be an upgrade for arsenal but they still need defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byyy The Light Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Back up the road homesick next season. Not allowed to wear his Celtic tap to the airport for Euro games so will be in the huff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Great deal for Celtic, although Celtic fans think he’s worth £35million. 😂 They’ll be able to sign 3 or 4 top notch players with that and sadly it will take them further away. I’m pretty sure they have a 15% sell on clause as well. Good move for Tierney. For Scotland’s sake I hope he does well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five to One Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Pretty good deal for Celtic. Been injury prone of late and career stalled a bit. Thought he was a better prospect than Robertson a couple of years ago, but nowhere near him now. We’ll find out how good he is down south.

Schevchenko Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 If players from the scottish league keep going down south and do well or command large fees relatively quickly afterwards (McGinn, Van Dyke, Robertson even Waghorn) our league will start to viewed in a different light. Hopefully then clubs like ourselves, Aberdeen and the like can hold out for a bit more when clubs come calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the fees in total. Cash flow is more important. They will be paying the fees up over several years, in Pepe’s case five. They have also offloaded a number of players and assuming Iwobi goes to Everton they will have taken in around £75m in fees and taken about £1m per week off the payroll. Easy to do if you matchday income of nearly £4m and add on the tv money and sponsors money. It’s a different world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALDOS' Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I really, really hope the lad goes down there and plays an absolute belter of a season. Scotland could have 2 left backs playing at highest level to go along with 9 other monkeys by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need better players in the national team and we've ended up with a world class left back and a deputy who's better in his position than most of the rest of the squad. Typical.

Costanza Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 He's a quality player and this is an excellent move for him. He's not at Robertson's level but Robertson has developed considerably playing in England and with the pressure and competition at Liverpool. Tierney is 22 and 3 years younger, so no reason why he cant get to the same level as Robertson. Pity he isnt a right back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
