Eff Everton and their media games, trying to unsettle the player. I'll be very disappointed if Tierney goes there. Spurs on the other hand would be a no-brainer. I'd still be gutted, but also happy for the lad. He'll develop and play at a high level under Pochettino. Not sure about Silva as a manager, but Everton as a club are beneath him. |

Strange one this. Almost sounds like we're trying to flush bids out. |

I’m actually not suggesting it’s all a big media conspiracy But that our msm take on these things is predictable FWIW - I don’t see him going to Everton - I wasn’t overly worried about what BR said - he was honest and obviously ‘astronomical bids’ are hard to turn down - I think he means north of 25 mill for KT and he clearly states he’ll only leave to a ‘top’ club - that’s not Everton I’m sure he’ll go eventually but he’s young enough to give us a couple more years, get even better and then go The media gettting excitable about our better players leaving isn’t paranoia or tin foil hat stuff - they’ve always done this |

I agree we need more than £25m and KT can set his sights higher than Everton. But that's the rumour at the moment. We all have a justified disdain for the Scottish sports press. But do we really expect them not to report when theres a sniff of a transfer that would break several records? You want a wee paragraph in the inside of the Record so as not to disrupt preseason in Austria? |

Not exactly, no - you may be reading too much into what I’m said Never mentioned disruption or a desire for a small paragraph - their approach to this is and always had been the same - that’s my point - there are ways to report this and some of it is the usual over the top ‘preparing for life without KT’ stuff - I’ve no problem calling that guff out - it’s possible to have a view on the slant the media takes without losing sight of the fact he may indeed be sold at some point - and for an astronomical fee no doubt - like I said befor - I don’t think that’ll be this season and I don’t think it’ll be to Everton |

£25 million is selling Tierney way short. If James Maddison - a guy who never looked like a superstar in a bang average Aberdeen team a year ago - is worth £20 million then Tierney is worth double that at least. Same goes for Dembele - he's a £35-40million player in the current market. The money in England has went utterly bonkers - that boy who signed for Cardiff for £10million the other day I genuinely had never even heard of till he was mentioned on here. If and when KT leaves it'll be after he's lifted 10 in a row and it'll be to either a top 6 club in England or one of the very top European sides. |

Point taken. But we know those animals life off the reporting of sensationalist rumours and that football sells their papers, even if in lower numbers than pre-internet. |

Been said plenty times in this thread and elsewhere - There's no point comparing the values of Scottish players with English home-grown players. The home-grown status adds a premium. |

If oor Kieran goes I will be gutted. I'm fairly certain that he will not be going to Everton, but if Spurs or Man Utd come in for him then is the time to worry. Also, if he does go I would bet it will be £30M+ with add ons. Apart from the fact he is an outstanding footballer he is Celtic through and through and would run through a brick wall for us.... that combination is very hard to replace. I will say a wee novena in the hope he stays because he will leave a hole in our hearts and in the team if he goes. |

Alternatively, why not take the money we’d spend on McCarthy’s wages and increase Tierney’s wages? Do you think McCarthy is going to come for less than £50k Why would we want McCarthy? He’s made 16 appearances in 2 seasons and plays in an area where we have plenty of good options already. People were saying Obubajo was too big a gamble and laughing at sevco signing crocks...

They don't even have to be that good. A result of the craziest transfer market in the world. Read an article about Jack Rodwell and Sunderland this morning. It costs Sunderland £299,000 for every appearance

I should have added if McCarthy can recover his fitness. He is a brilliant player imo. If we are to lose Tierney (I hope we don't) then it will be on our own terms. |

Why would James Maddison’s performances for Aberdeen two years ago be a barometer for Kieran Tierney’s value today (or anyone else’s for that matter)? |

although what Waddell says is in essence correct, would he and many others in the scottish media be writing such an article if Tierney played for the huns ? I don`t think so |

The Scottish media wouldn't be writing about a transfer bid for a Sevco player that would not only be a record transfer in Scottish football, but would also be a record for a Scottish player? Are you serious? |
