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

[BlueToff]

Make one more offer if they reject it move on, We seem to chase targets who take too long, Either stump or some reasonable cash so they accept first time or move on, Anything above 30m is nonsense for anyone in that league.

That's not how negotiation works.

If he's our top target for that position, we'll have a limit we want to go - but it's reasonable that we wouldn't want to go to that limit straight away. We need three-four players of real quality this summer, and he definitely falls into that bracket.

I can see it being £25m rising to £30m with all clauses.

Aka "the Michael Keane standard".

I would agree if it was a normal season but I think we need everything sorted like last year and all the new signings in for pre season.

That's the last thing we need.

We'll make signings, they are both only a month into their jobs amidst a period of huge change.

Tbh 30-35 Mill for Tierney may seem high now, but if he stays for ten years then it's the equivalent of signing a player for 3.5 Mill every year,
Think of Rooney going to united. Was a lot of money at the time but given how long he was there it ended up being buttons

It seems quite low to me when you consider a complete donkey like Keane cost 30m with 1 yr left on his contract

 

[navidson]

Have we made a bid yet?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

@Mikey_Fitzgerald - how much would you go up to?

40

We'd sell him for 60 at least

We'd sell him for 60 at least

I would be very very wary if we spent that much on him personally.

English premium mate, if he'd been from anywhere else in Europe he'd have cost under 20

I'd be happy with twenty five cash plus performance related add ons, if we pay more it'll have been worth it then,

Especially since cuco outperformed him last season

 

[NorthernBlue]

Don't know much about him with him playing in Scotland like but the Celtic forum talkceltic makes for good reading if anyone's bored. Similar stuff to what was said by Watford and Southampton fans.

 

[MACCA75]

Feels like we’ve leaked this to the press, same as we did with Sigurdsson. Put more pressure on Celtic to accept a bid.

The end result is inevitable.

 

[MACCA75]

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

Walker isn’t a left back. Then again, he’s not a central defender either.
