Transfer Rumour Everton poised to make £25m bid for Celtic full-back Kieran Tierney

Celtic fan here. Firstly I'd like to say I'm shocked that this could possibly be happening. For me Tierney is hands down the best young left back in Europe. For a 21 year old the ability and maturity he's shown is incredible. He has everything, he's quick, tricky and most importantly a tremendous defender with a cracking final ball. At 20 he had already captained Celtic and Scotland and has snuffed out some of the best players in the world in the Champions League. He's adaptable and can play also right back and central defence. He had 14 assists last season. A lot of people talk about how good Van Dijk was at Celtic but for me he has the potential to be better than him, he's certainly been more impressive in the Champions League than Van Dijk was for us. He can be the best left back in the world if he continues improving at the rate he has been. Hands down a better player than Andy Robertson is, it's not even up for debate here in Scotland. Best talent I've seen at Celtic since Henrik Larsson. Obviously I don't want him to go but if he does I'd rather see him at Everton than Man City or Chelsea. If I had to value him truthfully I'd say he'd be a bargain at £35 million especially if gash like Madison has went for £25 million. I would rather he stayed though even if a bid of £35 million was made. He'd slot in at Man City, Man Utd or Chelsea right now. Would be the signing of the summer if you guys pull it off.

Thanks for that post mate.

I suspect, if true, that 25 mil will be the starting point in any bidding and even if it ends up being 25 mil, there`ll be " bolt ons " galore, so it`ll end up being much more than 25 mil.

We have quite a few players that are surplus to requirments, who if any would you take as part of any deal ?.

By the sounds of things, everyone in our defence, bar Coleman, is potentially for sale and that`s just for starters.

Ps - If a man called Steve Walsh ever gets linked with a job at Celtic, run for the hills.

Apparently he's a massive Celtic fan and there's been talk over the past couple of years he's fancied the move, Just need to try and shift him on to wherever though

Mccarthy would love to play for celtic, let's hope he wouldn't demand extortionate wages from them like Rooney did with us.

Anyway if Tierney is available I doubt we'll get him unfortunately

We only have ourselves to blame for that, no successes in years will do that. Gives trolls especially the ammo. Still, from what I’ve seen of the lad he could be a superb first signing from the new boss. Wouldn’t be surprised if McCarthy is part of the deal.

Good shout, if we could lose Jmac in the deal, he's jizz anyway.
 
I've been hesitant to take seriously the opinions of Scottish football fans since the glowing assessments of Naismith and Jelavic I read from them on here.

It would be nice to have a good left back though, so I hope he's as great as they say he is if we're getting him.
 
I've seen him have some excellent games for Scotland starting as a right back, as obviously Andy Robertson is in that side too so it shows he has got an element of versatility to him. Looks very mature for his age too as others have mentioned he has already captained Celtic on occasion. £25m seems a fair price imo, if he played for and English side that didn't need the cash he would be minimum £35m.

Hope this comes off. And straight no to the shouts for Baines to be a victim of the cull. He needs to be retained as a squad player for sure.

Considering we got Naismith for free and Jelavic for 5-6 million I don’t think we can complain about either of them.
