velo army Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 2 hours ago, Barry Ferguson's Hat said: A second-rate Spanish club would hardly be the making of him. If the rumours are true then he should really be holding out for Spurs or Man Utd. I'm assuming a whoosh. Well played sir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Why would Tierney bother himself with some pub league diddies like Athletico if he can get a move to a genuinely big club, like Bournemouth? Sure, it's a risk from Bournemouth's perspective, but I think a young talent like Tierney could eventually grow into a decent squad player there, even if he requires a spell with the Under-21s to acclimatise, or perhaps a couple of seasons on loan at a mid-table League One side. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking a wee loan move to Millwall to toughen him up a bit first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Athletico aren't even the biggest team in their city, what a pointless move that would be. Would be like signing for Cove Rangers instead of Aberdeen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hopefully Tierney will ignore these rumours from the Spanish backwater and knuckle down in order to secure a glamour move to Burnley. He probably wouldn't enjoy the food over in Spain anyway. Atletico? Pathetico, more like! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 No chance he's getting a regular game for utd, spurs, Chelsea or city not happening he's miles away from that level and he knows it that's why he will stay coasting it in the spl Seems a bit harsh, he’s only 20 and still developing his game and in time could make it to a bigger club. Don’t see any harm in him doing similar to Robertson or Van Dijk or Wanyama and moving to a smaller premier league club down south to develop his game and if he’s good enough after a few seasons then get picked up by a bigger club again. Hopefully he’s got the ambition to want to make such moves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 12 hours ago, JamesM82 said: They're not as successful historically as Madrid or Barca, but "second rate"? Really? Two CL finals in recent years, EL final later this month, La Liga title in 2014. Spurs haven't won anything for 10 years. To compare them favourably with Atletico is ludicrous. That said, I can't see Celtic selling Tierney any time soon. Their fans would go nuts unless it was for absolutely silly money, and I just don't see anyone paying that for someone who hasn't played regularly outside Scotland. Plus there has been no sign of him showing any interest in a move. A "second rate" Spanish club would be a massive step up from Celtic, anyway. If Atletico Madrid want Tierney (and I rather doubt that they do), they'll get him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Kieran Tierney could have his pick of clubs in the English Championship, why would he throw that all away to play for some athletics club in Spain. Can't get me nut round it. Edited May 16, 2018 by itzdrk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 In reality I'd love it if he moved somewhere that wasn't England. Scots players playing in La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga would give me such a stauner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny131 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 A.Madrid are not interested it's just another tactic to increase the asking fee for EPL teams simple as that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 He’ll end up at a Derby or Hull IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Some pretty obvious whooshes being jumped on here. Pleasing. Tierney is shite tho tbf. Not as good an LB as Stephen Kingsley so that should be used as the gauge for his potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I doubt Athletic Madrid could afford Kay Tee. Hopefully a Burnley or a Brighton & Hove make a move in the summer. My nan would stand out in the Scottish pub league tbh (to be honest). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but I do see you going in to administration which is very sad as I remember the heady days of reaching uefa cup finals.

JamesM82 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Mail saying that Celtic's price is £30M. That struck me as being slightly on the low side, given the prices punted about at the top level in England. Luke Shaw went for about that a few years back, and prices have only inflated since then.

But Luke Shaw went from a team in the same league. Clubs know they can probably lop off a fair bit of the price for buying from the Scottish Leagues. From Celtic's perspective, you'd hope they'd play hardball to get that price up, but not sure how much capacity there is for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Nobody will pay £30M for someone who has only proven himself at the most dominant team in Scotland. If they do they must have terrible negotiators. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 If clubs think he's worth £30m as a player then they'll pay that, regardless of what league he plays in. This is obviously particularly true if there's a bidding war, which it certainly appears like there is going to be. I think Celtic could easily end up getting something in that region. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
