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

I think that if Tierney does come to Everton it would benefit him hugely to work with Baines for a season.
Robertson at Liverpool was allowed time to settle at the club before staking his place and not having the pressure to perform from the first minute could help Tierney settle.
There will be a settling in period where he gets used to every single game being highly competitive rather than most games being foregone conclusions.
Learning from Baines and slowly replacing him as the season progresses would help him learn what is expected as well as providing cover for the club.
 
What’s all this “poised to make a bid”, “preparing a bid” because we “want to steal a march on rivals” about? If we want to steal a march then just BLOODY MAKE THE BID.

I think its way past that stage as all the Everton journo's have been briefed along with the Scottish Journo's too. Also the everton journos saying he is open to the move, how would they know that? There have obviously already been discussions. Whether it goes through is another matter.
 
Does anyone know if Rodgers comments were actually because of the Everton interest specifically? Because that’s what the papers are saying. Or was he just talking generally about the player and the papers are adding that bit in?
No matter what, they're encouraging comments for us.
 

I like the player. Tenacious, skilled and plays with confidence. The sky is the limit for his progression so I think he will easily adapt to the premier league.
 
Again it’s “Marco Silva’s first signing” and no mention of Brands having an input.

Interesting.
I think that is a media thing.
Very little is known about most directors of football or even the names of many of them even though they may be hugely influential.
I think we will see Brands take a step backwards in terms of the media spotlight and Silva will be the focus.

I think we may need to accept that the rebuilding process may take longer than many would like or expect. I think we will sign more than one player, but not many more than that.
 
If it has got this close and loud then Tierney's representatives are clearly letting it known so they can get any other possible club who may actually be in europe to move. If not then certain people may be saying Tierney is ours.

Friday?
 

Joyce saying this lad is our ‘main transfer target’ worries me. As much as we need a new long term left back, my bigger concerns are central defence and central midfield. Think we need at least one new attacking player too.

I don't get what you mean?

If he was our main target it doesn't mean we wouldn't buy other players as well

It's not like if we signed him then brands would down tools
 
He's good enough to play for a top four English side easily, so if one of them wants him instead of us then we'd be the underdogs in the battle for his signature
If they were interested yes. If they were interested in any player we wanted we’d be the underdogs, so that point is rather irrelevant. The only other clubs mentioned are wolves and Bournemouth and we’ve got people going on as if we’ve said we’re going to bid for Neymar and get laughed at by the whole world.
 
Every bit as good as Andy Robertson, and better defensively imo. The fact that Tierney is the one that plays out of position for Scotland shows he is a better, more versatile all round player too. Would be a great signing for £25m
