Rodgers honesty may be a shock here but he's absolutely right. Doesn't matter how much a fan of the club you are, if you're a player and have the chance to earn up to 100 grand a week down south there's no way we can, or should stand in his way. KT signed a six year deal because he loves the club and that deal gives protection meaning he has a long enough contract if someone comes in that they need to pay tens of millions. It's naive to think he is going to be here much longer given how good he is. Edited by kewlcelt, 30 Jun 2018, 10:55 AM.

I agree however I have been told by a reasonable source that Man City are keen on Tierney and have asked Celtic to be informed if anyone bids for him. |

I got stick yesterday for suggesting a reality check and that Tierney was likely to leave within a couple of years. Even I’m surprised at what has developed overnight. However another reality check is necessary. People need to get real about a fee for Tierney. There is no way we are getting in excess of £30million. We will do well to get the £20m plus reportedly offered by Everton (even then I suspect a good chunnk will be add ons). It’s sore but it’s modern football. Tierney may well love the club but he will go sooner rather than later and there is nothing Celtic can do about that other than get the best fee possible. As I said yesterday Tierney didn’t join a big London agency just to get a pay rise from Celtic. |

It also tells potential signings and agent how we operate making us more appealing to players who see us operating a mutually beneficial process. Would go as far as using the dreaded win/win cliche. There are so many examples now of how players have benefited from their time with us in the last 5 years while we have also done well from it. |

As much as we all want Kieran to stay (and I think he will) we are in a no lose situation here. If he did go we are getting at least £30m which should be enough in itself to secure the 10. |

Celtic shouldn't entertain anything less than 30. It should be the starting point regardless of add-ons. |

Finished 4th when Moyes was in charge. That was quite an achievement for them considering their squad size and budget. That’s about it in modern times |

I'm inclined to agree that they've been shampoo for quite a while in that case. |

This is a great point. Part of our lure these days is that we can develop players who have Premier League (and other top league) ambitions. This is part of the attraction, like it or not. Of course we have CL football, 60,000 fans in the stadium, European cup winners as part of our pitch. Players will look at VvD and think maybe Celtic can do the same for me. Think BR language reenforces this message with the hope of attracting players and keeping younger players, young Dembele etc, on board. |

RODGERS: PLENTY OF BUSINESS TO DO Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers still has work to do in the transfer market this summer. Rodgers has already secured the permanent signing of Odsonne Edouard while Lewis Morgan has completed his move from St Mirren. The Hoops squad has been weakened by the departure of Stuart Armstrong to Southampton, though, and Rodgers knows he has a job on his hands to replace him. “There is no doubt we need to replace, never mind add,” he told Radio Clyde. “We have lost the likes of Stuart Armstrong, who was a very important player for our squad, and the likes of Patrick Roberts, who was very important for us. “We need to replace those players and that’s something we hope the club can do over the course of the summer.” |

This Also IF there is a buy-out clause in his contract and someone meets it, then it is up to the player. |

I think you make some fair points - if Tierney's development continues, I don't see him here for 10iar. However that big London agency you talk about negotiated his last contract extension as I understand - feel free to correct if I'm wrong. |

City are very, very keen on Tierney. I would not be surprised to see them do a buy and loan-back deal for at least a season. Nor would I be surprised if a permanent deal for Roberts was part of the equation. I don't understand why some people think we should accept £20m from crap like Everton. Leaving aside the 6-year contract, in today's market Tierney is easily worth a lot, lot more and will go to a far richer and bigger club because, although ostensibly a LB, he can also play RB, CH and LWB to a very good standard (maybe even LW). Name me another footballer who can do that? |

If we get offered an eye watering fee (£25m+) the decision will be Tierney’s and his alone. I’m very confident he’ll be here for 10 in a row |

£25 isn't an eye watering fee in this age. If Everton are offering £25m, it's because they think that they'll be able to punt him for easily double that in a year. They're not buying him to challenge for the league. |

If KT signs for Everton I'll eat my c*ck on a store roll. He's better than them at this stage of his career |
