We've been doing well financially for several years and we've not managed to strengthen the defence in five windows. Now its about to be obliterated. |

If we do sell Kierien for £25m, not convinced the money will be given to Brendan to improve the side.

We'll no spend anywhere near the £25million we bring in and even then what would it get us considering guys like Madfison goes for £20 odd million down south and clubs in Europe will be seeing how much cash we have. If we sell Tierney who has 5 years on his deal left we might as well put the money into a museum and hotel and spend our weekends in them cause not only will "Mr Celtic" be leaving every other half decent player we have on our books will follow him soon enough. If he won't stay why should they? As for Tierney, he currently has a chance to be a genuine Celtic legend. If he goes to England, and I can understand what his reasons might be, his legacy at the club would be average. |

I'm sure when Bale left Spurs and Suarez left Liverpool many of their fans thought great we can strengthen the whole side. Both did garbage as a result. Rodgers told the Celtic top brass two years ago that the most you want to change your first team starters in one year is three, four at a push. Armstrong's gone, Roberts gone, Dembele likely to go, central defenders for the off. Now possibly Tierney ? That will mean a big big overhaul. Tierney leaving - and I accept there maybe nowt we can do to stop it - is not good even at £25M given whats going on elsewhere in the team. |

Whether it’s transfer fees for new players, increased deals for current players, or investment in the infrastructure (Lennoxtown etc), the money will be spent on the football team. I slightly disagree with murphio in the necessity to accept £25m, but it is what we are set up to do. Buy guys cheaply, turn them into CL players, sell them for a profit, rinse and repeat with hopefully bigger amounts each cycle. |

And to think there are a number of people who would shunt Boyata out the door at this time too. Timing is woeful. We need to keep a healthy core intact from one season to the next. If KT leaves we need to shut the door for the season. |

It's a balancing act for sure but, like I said, £25m is a lot of money and with wise reinvestment we COULD end up a stronger team even accounting for the loss of a good individual. A major worry, of course, is signings like De Vries, Hendry and Gamboa - which hardly inspire confidence back there. Rodgers doesn't seem convinced by Simunovic, Boyata has only a year left and you'd think will be sold if he doesn't sign so if KT does go - we are looking at one hell of an overhaul.

Only if you're measuring his legacy in his personal footballing achievements (and he's already made history with Invincibles). A home-grown player leaving for £25m would be an unprecedented legacy. Edited by oneillsrevolution, 1 Jul 2018, 08:17 PM.

I see your thinking. Sign for Everton for £25m. Back on a Bosman in 2021. |

If KT goes we'll get top dollar because there's no pressure to sell whatsoever. It's top whack or not at all. |

Granted but when people talk about trimming the squad no one in their right mind would be talking about those 3 We played poorly for a lot of the season because a lot of players were injured We can't expect to play better when some of those same players are unavailable for whatever reason We needed a right back, centre half, right winger, back up left back and central midfielder going into this window and we've sold a midfielder and could sell our only left back We'd need 3 defenders, a right winger and midfielder and we all know that's never going to happen We could also sell boyata and possibly jozo |

As long as he stays fit I think the last contract Tierney signs is a Celtic one. |

Wayne Rooney I'd rather we got another year or two than have him come back when he is past it and thinks he is doibg us some sort of favour. |

There could very well be pressure to sell from the player’s side. |

What if he's not past it? What if he's 31 or 32 and playing at the peak of his powers with another good 3 or 4 seasons in him? |

On the other hand, when McGeady left for £9m in August 2010 we signed:
