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

[Dutch Toffee]

One of the very few transfer targets we've been linked with so far this summer, I can actually get excited about.

Sake, its OFF.

It's not off till Esk says it's on.

 

[Nymzee]

Mikeys going a bit rickyryder here, just waiting for some stats to show he's better than Marcelo

Scottish Cup wins:

Tierney - 2
Marcelo - 0

Tierney > Marcelo

 

[Lanolin]

One of those other clubs could easily still put a bid in

He's been being linked with Man United for about two years now

Make no mistake, if Everton can get this over the line then it's a massive piece of business for the club

He'll either stay at Everton and become a legend or we'll sell him on in a few years for at least double the fee we paid. He's that good

And if we don’t get him we don’t get him. Unlucky, we move on. The point was that he will certainly be interested in coming, Celtic will be interested in anything over £20m, and most of the teams above us won’t be that fussed about moving for him, and yet we’ve got people going on as if it’s the most audacious move imaginable. It’s just a weird mentality.

I'd be over the moon if we sign him. Top talent and I always have a soft spot for scottish Everton players.

I'd order a shirt with his name at the back instantly.

Come on Keiran!

Mikey, players don't move from Scotland to a top side anymore especially into the starting 11, those days are long gone, which means Tierney has two choices, accept being a squad/backup player for 2-3 seasons at one, looking at the lads character can't see that being an option, waiting a few years at Celtic, by which time he will get 23-24 and still in the exact same situation if he moves re clubs, or move to the best of the rest in the probable likelihood of a further bigger move in 3 years or so.

Same path stones, vvd, Robertson, wanyama,, Lukakuhowed will work

When did Burnley make an approach, must have missed that.

 

[Kenshin]

Will be a good signing if it happens. If we didn't move now he will end up moving above us in a year or two. Better to have long term left back sorted now rather than play the worst player I have ever seen at left back

 

[orly]

I am not risking accruing Weasel points for a joke.

Sorry for putting you under public pressure here fam, I was just wondering whether this rumour had any truth in it

 

[Tin-Tin]

Good job he plays for Celtic then I suppose

Who walk the league without breaking sweat so its hard to tell how good he is as the competition is akin to Burton and Fleetwood.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Let's be honest he'll end up at Spurs.

Spurs who have Rose and Davies? I don't think a LB is even a consideration for them, especially as Utd are not interested in Rose any more.

 

[Barnfred 55]

I was waiting for the Red Echo’s negative slant.

Just naffed off that it wasn't released through them initially.

Andy Robertson played for Dundee Utd, and he’s managed the steps up fine. Of course there’s a risk factor, people on here were saying the same about Van Dijk when he made the move south. Tierney is definitely in that bracket with respect to how he performs for Celtic (not just in the SPL, the Champions League too)

Hope so. Either way tbh although I'd prefer him to stay obviously. But at the moment just making a purchase of a player whose value increases is a start after the last couple of seasons.

I agree, I actually think he looks a fantastic player and would love to see him sign him but the fee quoted is about right.

 

[gonetomorrow]

He's not up against much in the SPL but he's shaped well in the European ties. This would be a bargain signing.
