Chewing Taffies Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Real Sociedad will not be pursuing a permanent deal for Kieran Tierney and have turned their attentions to another target, according to reports in Spain. Apparently he has failed to impress. Back to 5th choice at Arsenal after the summer. Edited January 19 by Chewing Taffies -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he has failed to impress. Back to 5th choice at Arsenal after the summer. I know you are probably on the wind up but I don’t think that’s at all true. He’s pretty much in the first 11, and plays when they want to play a strong team. I don’t think they ever could afford to buy him. that was the reason there’s apparently no option to buy in the loans agreement. I’ve read other reports that there may be a plan to use him in a deal as apparently Arsenal want the Sociedad midfielder Zubimendi.

By my reckoning he was sitting on the bench and not the rotate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky to get on @39 minutes while they we cursing to victory. Lucky to get in the Euro squad at this stage of his downwards spiral career. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 The player that Tierney seems to rotate with has done his cruciate. No idea if they have anyone else that could play that role… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeefc1783 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Injured again apparently. An excellent player who just can't stay fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jives Miguel Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 You have to wonder how much damage Celtic and Brendan Rodgers done to his body as a kid. 170 games before the age 22, only 140 in the 5 years since. Not good. He should sue them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a hernia and shouldn't have been playing some games when he could barely move. We went without a back up left back too for a bit resigned the guy who we punted because his legs had gone (Izzy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other players would stub their toe and then need 6 weeks to recover - iirc one Scottish cup final KT was taken to hospital and made it back for his medal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah would agree often players are their own enemy for that. Sometimes the manager needs to make that decision for them though. NGL I was nearly greeting seeing KT's jaw hanging off at the Scottish cup final lifting that trophy and kissing the badge, became a full on fanboy after that.

A Diamond For Me Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 There's a decent interview with Tierney in The Grauniad. He's clearly loving his time in the Basque Country, culturally and in terms of his football. I know his homesickness when he moved to London has been a bit of a theme of this thread, but as he says at the end here he's a bit older now and has adapted to life there well. Worth a read. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The cultural links between the Basque Country and the Isle of Man will have certainly helped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that with the Euros only months away that article makes absolutely no mention of Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coverage of Scottish sport in the Guardian is very, very bad. They did a whole write up of the last six nations and mentioned us once at the end. They only care about him because he's on Arsenals books. Edited February 14 by The Algebraist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware that The Guardian isn't all that bothered with Scotland my concern would be what if neither is Tierney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Algebraist Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 My point is they might not have asked him about it, or if they did the editor might have cut the content. We won't ever know but there is no reason at all to assume Tierney isn't committed to Scotland just because it isn't mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
