Love for Celtic is all well and good but when you are having a 50 or 60 grand a week cheque waved in front of your face on a contract which will make you a multi millionaire by the age of 27... all bets are off. If he goes he will go with my thanks - a good player who gave us four good seasons and made us a lot of money. He'll always be one of us.

Couple of other things that might/might not be factors:

- maybe he doesn’t fancy playing in a back three
- seeing Andy Robertson playing in the CL final
And getting kicked, and elbowed all over the pitch with no protection. A career threatening injury is only ever a 50/50 away up here.

Naw just naw. The European Cup Final thing is pure daftness. Even if he was moving to Man U or City it is a long shot. Liverpool and Roberston's season was pretty flukey. Just like this World Cup is.
Just spitballing about possible factors that may have led to this seeming u-turn.

Tierney might not fancy Everton, but he might still be influenced by a stab at the CL. He could stroll into that Man U team, for example.

Something seriously fishy about this. Why does a player suddenly want out the door now? We basically now need about five new players at the back if he goes.

What would be the difference?
Difference is Armstrong is a footballing mercenary with no interest in Celtic.
Aye, Tierney has pitched himself as the maddest uber Tim in long and weary. I remember his da ranting and wanting players sacked after the Ross County debacle, saying a young KT was the future.

I'm sure three or four years ago he'd have taken a million a year contract to play for the club he loves. Turns out, that's not really enough after all.

I get why he'd go for huge cash, but he's sold himself as being timmed oot his nut, so if he's agitated for the move he's been at it. Another option is that the club have made it known we'd sell him and he's thought, why not, if they're actively punting him.

Someone doesn't come out of it looking great.

There is one big difference and it is one that would show Armstring in a more positive light when comparing both if this transfsr happens.
Not sure I follow here but can read between the lines.

KT is agitating for a move in more explicit terms than Armstrong? That's hard to believe since Stuart had his pants aff waiting to get shafted at least since January 2017.
One claims to be Celtic daft and says he isnt going anywhere only to move while the other isn't a Celtic fan and is pretty up front about wanting to play in England. Who's behaviour do you think is better?

That is only if Tierney moves this summer.

Ach, it’s a job to both of them, they’ve all got their price. The only difference is that it takes a wee bit more to tempt the guy who’s also a fan.

Genuinely didn’t think we would lose him for a couple of years. Gutted if this happens.

We seriously need to strengthen.

On a par with Stuart Armstrong. You've took that too far.

Armstrong has better hair.

So when will you allow KT to move with his ubertim reputation intact?

Love for Celtic is all well and good but when you are having a 50 or 60 grand a week cheque waved in front of your face on a contract which will make you a multi millionaire by the age of 27... all bets are off. If he goes he will go with my thanks - a good player who gave us four good seasons and made us a lot of money. He'll always be one of us.
I would suspect he’ll be well off at 27 whatever he does

If he wants to go fair enough. He needs to make the right decision in terms of what club. If spurs are in for him he should go there if he must leave. Everton would be pointless.

Yeah, my thoughts as well. If he goes, good luck to him.

Not dissimilar to the season that McClair and Mo Johnstone both left. One was a pure badge-kissing tim, the other was an (relatively) unemotional intelligent professional footballer.

Both effed off.

That's my position too. Read a blog/article by Tam McManus at some point and (paraphrasing) he said any youth player moving from a Scottish club for major sums should get a medal from the selling club. Either way, KT leaves Celtic with a helluva legacy.

PS. I would like him to stay until the 10, but if the move comes this summer so be it.

I'm not convinced all players operate like Armstrong.

We’d have no left back at the club with CL qualification coming up. If we end up going into this with a back three of Hendry ajer and simunovic after two years of CL money that’s a big problem

Aye, let's hope Sevco don't come up with a tax incentive in two years time.

McClair was a Celtic man though, so a bit different from Armstrong. Also, as far as I remember, he only wanted parity with what Johnston was getting. Celtic wanted the money though. Same with Nicholas four years earlier. .
