Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Barnfred 55]

I’m already panicking, mate. Stinks of 2016, this window.

As it happens, 2016 turned out to be a better window than 2017. We only spunked money on Williams and Bolasie in 16. Last year, it was Keane, Klaassen, Siggy, Rooney, Sandro and Martina, plus we lost Lukaku and Barkley.

Might be a case of less is more.

Sam Allardyce thinks RLC should move on to help him develop because he's only a kid and needs more game time. Oh the irony lol

“So if he’s got no future at Chelsea then get to a Premier League club as quick as you can and shine and continue to grow.”

I very much doubt that we would bid for Tierney just to be turned down by the player himself. Would be e little bit ridiculous that. I presume that we would at least sound out his agent before bidding.

He's probably got a deal lined up for him with some mid table championship team.

I know Tierney loves Celtic and everything but what has he left to win there? If he wants to stay because he loves it so much then fair play to him, but, unfortunately, when an offer comes to better yourself and your salary next to nobody turns it down.

Just thinking about this do a club put the bid into the club before they have actually spoke to the agent ? I would think that comes first, the power is all with the players.

I really do not have a clue who we will sign. One thing I am sure of though after watching the 3 games England have played I do not want to see any of these in a Royal Blue shirt - Rashford (crap player, cannot score to save his life), Loftus-cheek ( just average, nothing special), Dembele ( rubbish midfielder), Dier (dire)

Okay some may disagree buy it is my opinion that's all.

So, what do we do now we've lost our top-scorer - again.

To over-simplify - If we have a season as bad as last, without Rooney, we'll be in the relegation zone again.

Tosun averaged a goal roughly every 200 mins. He should be looking at getting 15 goals at least next season.

They will also know as business men that if he doesn't continue to progress then his value will plummet. They would get serious money for him now, I am not sure that his value will continue to rise much more as the limiting factor is not so much the player as the standard of the league he plays in.

A few good CL games and international games could push his value even higher

Seemingly Tierney is one of the very few footballers not motivated primarily by money.
In his own words he’s living the dream.
I read in an article that he asked his mam to buy him a Celtic jersey for Christmas.
FFS he probably has a Celtic duvet on his bed.
He still lives with his parents and seems very level headed.
He knows if he stays for 2/3 years he still has 5/6 years to earn major money to set him up for life.
Let’s be honest even on 15/20 k a week at Celtic he could stay there for the rest of his career and be set up financially for life
I would bet a tenner that even if he leaves Celtic he will end up back at Celtic at the tail end of his career the same way Rooney did with us but without the massive wages.

It's funny - that would make me want him at Everton even more
We've a good history of full-backs with that type of attitude!

Completely agree with you by the way - 15/20k a week is enough to set you up for life easily, it's generally agents that get those boats rocking.

He is Scottish, its in his DNA to be a traitor like Robert the Bruce in Braveheart.

He Manx originally though, isn't he?

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

So nothing happening then....?

 

[bobafro]

Tierney is also linked with Spurs - we have a terrible record competing with them to sign full-backs

 

[Brisan123]

So nothing happening then....?

No not really just a lengthy discussion on a player in whom we have expressed no interest in signing and who has not expressed any desire to leave his present club
So nothing new then

 

[Raino85]

That's a huge leap you're making there mate. If only there were examples of other players who had professed to love a particular club that we could look at to see what happened.

i think he's got better people looking after him than the likes of Barkley & Rooney
Look at Le Tissier if you want an example
