RE Tierney, is there a chance Rodgers comments were for the benefit of someone else? i.e. a public reaffirmation of comments made in private to a promising young transfer target, in am attempt to convince them we are a club who can, and will, develop players and then not stand in their way when the time is right for them to move on?

It's the same stuff he's said about Dembele and it's the same stuff Desmond said about Rodgers.

We are definitely trying to put across the message that we are a good club for promising young players to be at if they want a move to the biggest clubs in the world.

If we're expecting £40m for Tierney than we can start the bidding for Moussa at £70-80m.

I get that everyone loves Tierney (I do too) but if you take the emotion out of it £25m is a very fair offer for him.

I would be very surprised if Pep is looking at Tierney as one poster suggests.
I’d be amazed given how Man City play. Given that the weakest aspect of Tierney’s game (for all his talent) is his passing.

There is nothing new in this -- Brendan Rodgers saw his own playing career cut short before it even got properly started because of injury. He specifically mentioned John Kennedy, to whom the same happened. To Brendan, it IS a moral issue. If KT wants to go and the price is right for Celtic, the club won't stand in his way. That's the same as it's always been. As I said, nothing new. Brendan is making sure that if it is to happen, Celtic will get top dollar and it will be to a bigger club than Everton, I'd hope. In fact, of all the self-styled "big clubs" in England, only Newcastle would be a worse choice, and I'm not even sure about that. KT wants to stay but there's not a Celtic fan in the world who could turn down £80k/£100k a week for four or five years. It was always going to come to this.

I'm sure that's part of his thinking. :thumbsup:

That's the way it is - Brendan is merely reaffirming what we all know.

If a club in a top league offers the right fee and wages, most players want to go. Kieran seems to be an anomoly, but knocking back £20-100m in career earning to stay at Celtic would test even the most ardent Celtic fan. We all point to Scott Brown as an example (who wasnt a fan but wanted to stay at the club), but think how much the game has changed financially in the last ten years when Brown as the next big thing.

I dont think KT will go to Everton, mind you. But the chat behind these rumours are fair warning he's open to a big move.

No point saying why Everton?

The club will have a price if any club meets it - he’ll more than likely go. He will feel the club will be happy to let him go and will have taken the decision for him, then he’ll probably sign a 5 year deal worth about 90k per week.

I don’t see him digging his heels in and refusing to move to certain clubs.

Would be to our advantage if he moves to an Everton. We’re more likely to cash in on sell on clause when he eventually moves to a top 4 side.

We all want him here for the ten, I’m sure he does want to stay until then but he’s hardly going to say otherwise to any Celtic supporter that asks him.

We should be asking for 30m with 10% sell on.
i'm sorry m8 thats a load of rubbish... of course from his point of view if he left he should be very selective where he moves too.

celtic of course would take highest bid, for any player its about going to club that matches wages, ambition and do you want to live there.. if someone isn't fussy about that then they are really thick.

imagine moving from celtic for 25-30m to play for the second team in a city who haven't even won a derby game in what 7-8 years? who have no chance of top 6... who he'll be judged against andy robertson even more so and be viewed as inferior because he plays for the small club... and doing all that while moving for £25-30m with other clubs interested in you... as a move for him, everton is a mind blowing stupid move bc he can get that money anywhere in england.
I suppose you’re right. Virgil didn’t go on to become the most expensive defender of all time after moving to Southampton.

If KT goes, my main interest is what the club get for him, not what’s best for his career. If he goes to the likes of United now, we won’t get a sell on clause.

If he goes to Everton he could be their best player within a year or two, and then the top clubs will be paying 60-70m for him and we’d be taking home 10% of that on top of whatever fee we agree.

He knows how good he is, going to a club like Everton now, won’t define him. Your Andy Robertson talk is baffling too and pointless.
Clubs and players are going to maximise their potential when they can. Look how badly off form Dembele was for a period last season, so much so that people were suggesting we would only get 10-12m for him.

Touch wood but he could get a bad injury and that could be that. If Everton or whoever else are dangling a contract worth 90 or 100k per week it would be extremely hard to turn down.




No.

The next step for us as a club is to sell our main assets to elite clubs for elite fees.

Not to continue selling them to middling clubs for middling fees and hoping for some crumbs from a potential sell-on fee that we have no control over.

We need to be the club selling players for £40 million+. In other words, cut out the Southampton/Everton middle man.

Celtic will accept any huge offer for any of the players, especially if they ask to leave. But I really doubt Tierney wants to go. Not right now anyway. He'll turn down a move and everyone will be happy. Except Everton.

Maybe not a relegation battle. They should only really flirt with that every five or six years, the same regularity with which they pester the europa league or a domestic cup quarter final.

So aye, shampooe. A St Johnstone of the EPL.

If we get top dollar for KT and he goes to a top English club our recruitment of quality becomes much easier and we are in the money

Getting linked with lamine kone of Sunderland now
Asked for opinion on him from the Sunderland fans on ybig.ie, mixed to say the least lol :

'A good player but just plays when he fancies it.'
'Just played well in patches got the ability both ends of the pitch but lacks motivation. Big Sam had him playing well in the EPL '
' The biggest c*nt in football, I'd actually feel sorry for Rangers if he ended up there never mind Celtic'
' It looked at one point it looked like Kone was going to Everton but when the move didn't happen on many occasions his attitude was questionable and there were times when his 'injuries' were dubious. I would be surprised if Celtic would pay the wages that Kones agent would demand.'

:lol:
I don't like the sound of that however playing for your countries assistant manager in Kolo might motivate him into getting his game together

But he could do better. If he goes he should hold out for a club where he can shine and personally I don't think it's Everton at the moment. As long as we get the best fee he would probably have most fans goodwill, he can always be back for 16IAR.
