The Moonster Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 9 hours ago, This time Perthshirebell said: ^^ This is everything wrong with the mindset. You might be right and KT might become slower, lose his remarkable reading of the game, become more timid in the tackle and lose his attacking instincts if he crosses the border. I trust he'll play at the same level he played in the champions league. He's rather obviously a better player than Wan-Bissaka or John McGinn. You only need a TV set and an interest in football to see this. You're really coming across as a moron with this patter. Nobody is saying that Tierney will suddenly forget how to play football. And even more of a moron if you don't understand how valuation fluctuates depending on certain factors each player has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Anyone who thinks these valuations are just done on level of ability of the player clearly doesn’t understand how this works. A player is only worth what someone is willing to pay for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Anyone who thinks these valuations are just done on level of ability of the player clearly doesn’t understand how this works. A player is only worth what someone is willing to pay for him. He’s also clearly worth far more to Celtic than he is to Arsenal, who already have two perfectly competent left backs and could look elsewhere if required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Players of his calibre and higher are easily acheivable for Arsenal. Celtic can only luck out in terms of developing or unearthing someone that good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Also £20m is a far bigger sum to Celtic than it is to Crystal Palace, hence they require something more substantial to sell their prize assets. England operate in a different and frankly ridiculous market to us, like it or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 English players are also "worth" more down there because the teams need to fill quotas. As others have said, it's completely pointless trying to argue how much money a player is worth, especially when it's silly money getting thrown about in football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsider Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Tierney v Robertson is a pointless argument until KT finds the balls to leave.An amateur player could be s*** hot at his level, be the best in the league. But if he stepped up to junior The chances are he would become just another run of the mill player because the guys he was playing against were faster, stronger and generally better players. KT stands out a mile against Chris Kane and Greg Stewart but it’s a bit different coming up against Augero and Salah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red23 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) He's worth £10 million tops. Not seeing anything that suggests otherwise. Celtic really seem to think they are something special winning a piss poor league, where most teams recruit from league two in England, again and again with a massive budget. Yet in europe you get utterly destroyed and players like Tierney are shown up to be the average players they are.

Croatia were the World Cup finalists last year. From that article - "The 21-year-old was a standout star for Spain as they won the Under-21 European Championship." A playmaker, who was the standout star, is targeted by Spurs and Atletico. But you apparently think that he's worth less than Tierney even though no one will pay Celtic's daft price. Get a grip, Fud!
