Ro Sham Bo Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I was half expecting to see Tierney in as an overage player for the Arsenal u21s side in the Papa John's Trophy tonight, but he's not. Probably overlooked in favour of a 17 year old right winger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Arteta does seem to be quite militant about "culture" or whatever, Balogun seems to be completely frozen out despite his only competition being Eddie Nketiah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 He also has apparently dropped Gabriel for the last two games. He seems to be one of their best centre backs so it doesn’t my make much sense as to why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why believe your lying eyes when a manager with clear motivations to be economical with the truth tells you something Yip, it's now been proven as nonsense from Arteta, not that there was any doubt before. I don't really understand why he just lied about it though. I'd rather he went to the best fitting club at the highest level, but I can understand why he might want to move to Celtic. It's better he's there than not playing at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so as well well but to be fair, it depends on his options right now. Anywhere he’ll get a game must surely be his preference right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, you'd imagine Celtic have already enquired about a loan move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of murmurings on the #ITK grapevine suggest it's happening. Likely won't be until the last day or two of the window i'd imagine. It'll be beyond surreal seeing him back, and i can't wait to see what sort of nonsense we/Desmond comes up with to pay (likely) half of his wages. Cut of the burger van profits, the half time draw going straight into his pocket every week etc. Scottish football's answer to Hulk Hogan's WCW contract basically.

I get why this is exciting for Celtic fans but if you have to pay a good 30-50% of his £120K a week wages then would that not be way above anyone else at the club? For what is in reality an injury prone left back. If you are willing to pay someone £60k a week would that not be better on a semi proven exciting 21yr old striker who can get you 30m in a few years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe hes one of the best left backs around, if he can stay injury free I expect he would prove himself there. And by the end of the loan expect he would have bigger better options. Or this may end up biting me on the arse, but I cant see it. Hes an amazing player. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
