Coco Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He's a good player with the Celtic behavioural tinge. But I think he's going to have constant problems with his hips, groin and back. He's got a rolling gait running style which will put too much pressure on his joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovecraft Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm pleased he has moved for a large fee. It could go either way: He does well and the fee paid is worth it, making Scottish footballers more valuable. Or, he fails and does the opposite and English clubs become even more wary. I still think leaving the EU will have a huge say on transfer fees within the UK soon. FWIW - I think he will be injured most of the time.

The Treasurer Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm not saying that he isn't a good player but if he was with any other club in Scotland you'd be lucky if he went for £2-3M. If only our media would build up other clubs players like they do with the arse-cheeks then our game would have a lot more money coming in, allowing clubs to improve.

Exactly, £25 million is excellent business for them and will help them strengthen in other areas in their pursuit of ten in a row They get angry because they cant understand why people like Rodgers and Tierney have ambitions beyond winning ten titles in a row in a league with effectively no real competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no point has he bashed on Lennons door asking to leave. If anything he is a bit worried about moving down South.

Tynecastle Valhalla Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He will get rinsed in the epl and £25mil is a huge amount of money for Celtic they can buy 8 players with that with calibre bad news for the rest of the league good for Scotland he is playing at the top level though assuming he does play as I still think he will be found out for being too small and frail without enough ability to compensate the Celtic fans saying they sold him too cheaply are off their heads.

Totally, but who would have thought he would become the best defender in the world, which is the level he is at presently? Not I , for one. Given a couple of good seasons injury free in the EPL and KT could be worth £40 million or so. What do we think Andy Robertson is worth now? £80 million?

Jodami Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 It's probably a fair price in that market and the higher Scottish players sell for in England the better for future transfers for us. The only way he is going to develop as a player is away from Celtic and hopefully Scotland benefit in the longer term. As people have mentioned the obvious downside is Celtic becoming even richer but tbh they are so far removed from us now it's pointless worrying about that.

Mysterion Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 13 hours ago, Bighenry said: Celtic have plenty tucked away! They are absolutely miles ahead financially anyway. Celtic have already revealed plans for a hotel and other facilities at Celtic Park, they may clear most of (if not all) loans they had taken out in the past and be able to continue their commercial expansion. They also have submitted plans to redevelop Barrowfield training ground for their youth academy. I suspect that they have already planned how they are spending a lot of their money and they may not have the massive reserves we fear. This doesn't change the fact that they still can outspend every SPFL team by some distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He's a good left back and could become better. A good sold left back is hard to find. If he'd been a rb, he'd have been a £10m player, but a good left is hard to find. Imo he'll instantly upgrade Arsenal at Lb, he's also able to fill in at left centre back, again left footed centre half's are quite rare. Celtic have got a wad tho, unbelievable the money gap, the only good thing is that they should keep distance from rangers who will burn out trying to catch them. Celtic could, in theory win say, 28/29 out of 30 trophies if you project over the next 7 years. It will be boring at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
