Celtic are ready to play hardball over Kieran Tierney when 
Everton open their bid to land him at £25million this week.
MailSport understands the champions’ reaction will be a firm ‘no’ at that price. But the Merseyside giants won’t be put off and are prepared to test the Hoops’ resolve to hold on to the 21-year-old fans’ favourite.
The Scotland full-back, who signed a six-year deal in October, has always insisted he won’t be the one asking for a move from the club he has loved since he was a kid.

However, boss Brendan Rodgers admitted 
yesterday the decision may yet become Tierney’s if Celtic’s price is reached.
And if it does come to that it’s believed he is open to the move.
A senior club source told MailSport yesterday: “We don’t need to sell and we don’t want to sell.”
Meanwhile, Rodgers revealed he’s had a long chat with Tierney amid 
the interest.
And the Hoops boss is adamant there’s no chance of the highly-rated defender losing his focus despite Everton’s attempts to prise him away from Celtic Park.
Rodgers has admitted both club and player could face a big decision if an astronomical offer is made.

But Rodgers, who watched Tierney’s error condemn his side to a 1-0 defeat to Bohemians Prague in the second game of their pre-season camp in Austria, said “Kieran is very committed and 
nothing changes.
“He is a good boy and I had a long chat with him just about keeping his focus really.
“These things you can’t control. You just need to stay focused on keeping yourself fit and ready for the games.
“If something comes in then fine.
“But he just needs to go out and concentrate because it is an important part of the season as we get ready for a long campaign. He is absolutely fine.”

Bloody hell! An intelligent and eloquent post!

Makes a change from the heafty stream of racism, ignorance and utterly lame attempts at wind-ups.

Kudos to you, Sir.
We do not tolerate racism and instantly ban any noted instances.

If you see any please report.
 
Looks like this has definitely put Tierney camp in high alert. Absolutely perfect chance to launch successful PL career as a Baines successor.
 

Can't see us going beyond £30m which is itself a substantial sum for someone who is still a young man with a lot to prove in a major league.
It has a hint of empty posturing to be honest. I wonder how long we will be 'poised' in front of this particular mouse hole whilst other , more readily available prey, patters about its business behind our backs.?
 
This would be a fantastic signing. Spending 25-30 million in today’s mad transfer world is similar to spending the 5 million we paid for Baines all those years ago. He’s 21 and we can either make big money on him in 3-4 years, or he becomes an Everton legend and stays with us for over a decade.

I love the fact we’re being linked with younger players and hope some of them come off. Equally, if we can shift Williams and Schneiderlin then that would also be a fantastic bit of business.
 
Kieran Tierney would be a very exciting signing & put a bit of a marker down.

Have to say, I’d be made up if this came off.
 
I heard Leigh Griffiths being interviewed last week, his English or even speech is as bad as Sir King Kenny the Liars.
 

I think he would be a good signing, but lets hope Brands in particular has picked up on last summers mistakes and avoids a repeat.

We need to be able to do business in an efficient manner and not be held to ransom. Other alternatives must always be pursued in tandem.

If we make a reasonable bid, there is no reason not to conclude a deal within a week. Or move on.

Otherwise, it just becomes another Sigurdsson episode, with our desperation to sign him known to the whole of football, and consequently the fee increasing every day.

It's not just the right players need to be signed, we must look to handle our business in the right way always.
 
I'd go as high as £30m with no add-ons

Looking at the last couple of big money left backs:
Luke Shaw - £37m
Benjamin Mendy - £52m
Kyle Walker - £54m

I fear he could become the next Shaw so nothing over £30m
 
Rejecting £25m, tell them to jog on.

There are better value players out there somewhere.
I thought Brands would put an end to last summers complete madness.
Think we wont be paying what they want (obviously Rodgers will try to rob us) Brands wont go there he will have his options. This happends only if Tierney camp pushes it.
