kt will be here for ten in a row he loves it at celtic Although I do wish the player would come out himself and say that
To be fair, he does quite regular when asked by the press. Every time he’s been asked he says he’s happy and doesn’t want to leave
For some reason the press forget to print that quote tho.......

Probably because he's playing for a top 4 club in the biggest league in the world with realistic Champions League aspirations and earning about 4 times as much as him. Take the green tinted specs off.
Which is exactly why he won't be moving to Everton The exact same conversation took place on here when Southampton came in for Wanyama and VVD.
The fact is it's a stepping stone for the player to demonstrate they can cut it in the EPL - once they have then a top 4 club will come in for them.
Tierney's agent will have told him that as long as he performs as we all think he can, his stay at Everton will probably only be a couple of years.

If KT wants to earn a bigger salary, it is his business, and nobody else's. This 'why he can't live on x-amount per week?' is, quite frankly, daft.

Nonsense. On holiday but this deserves commentary. Robertson is a good player granted. Tierney is a much better tackler and positional strength is better. KT outran Sterling im both games especially at Parkhead so unsure how you have came to that one. Not much between them maybe but KT and his all round games is stonger.
Sterling turned KT inside out for his goal at Celtic Park.......he also helped KT out by converting his cross for an og. KT is raw.....if you look at the Champions League Robertson was far better. Playing with better players all the same. Robertson has far quicker feet than KT, better control, is better going forward. I don't see why people take an appreciation of Andy Robertson as blasphemy with regards to KT. Because it's nonsense, KT is a better player at his age than Robertson was and will go to the same levels Robertson is at now.

Not disputing he's got a lot to work on nor saying he would walk straight in - he's still young after-all - but take a look at some of the players he'd be competing with. It really isn't that much of stretch to think he would provide healthy competition, at the very least: Most of us agree he's better than Andy Robertson. In my previous post, I pointed out the options at Man Utd are Ashley Young and Luke Shaw. At Spurs it would only be Davies. At Chelsea it would be Alonso and Emerson Palmieri. At Arsenal, Monreal and Kolasinac.
I don't think he's better than Andy Robertson. I agree. Although Tierney is miles ahead of Robertson as a young player, Robertson is better at this point in time. It'll be easier to compare the two once Tierney has a few seasons under his belt at a bigger league than the SPFL.
I can understand the appeal of the Premier League. It may be overhyped and overrated, but it has a huge worldwide audience. The chance to play against some of the world's biggest clubs would be attractive to most players, I would imagine.

Ergo, Robertson is the better player just now. Glad you agree. I'm not looking at it as who is better between Tierney & Robertson, I think both are very good players, have got loads of potential and have their strengths and areas where they could improve their game. Both players seem very focussed, level headed, have a great work ethic and will only get better

Well this is true, it is his business. It would be his business if he signed for Sevco in two years if they came up with a wheeze to pay him more money than Celtic, too. Obviously, it's hypothetical as they'll never have that kind of cash. And from a moral point of view, I doubt he'd do it, but if you're driven by money, then who knows. But as you say, it's his business.
I think what people can't get their head around is someone who says they're living the dream. He's already earning a fortune by anyone's standard. He'll be comfortably in the top 1% of earners in the world.
So, you're either rich and happy and content. Or you're even richer, but maybe lost something you always dreamt about and strived for.
Maybe the possibility of becoming super rich does skew those dreams. I've never been in that position, so can't comment. On a lesser scale, I would have no hesitation taking less money if it meant I was doing something I enjoyed and could still afford a decent lifestyle and be content, rather than having a worse lifestyle and discontented, but with more money in the bank.
Everybody's different, so no problem with someone wanting more money. But if it's that or the dream of being a one club man that he's spoken about more than a few times, then there's an obvious conflict there for him to resolve in his own mind.

Aye, he must get sick of saying it From tomorrow to the day 10iar is achieved I think it’s best if he holds a daily press conference reaffirming his commitment to the cause.
There’s clearly a lot of people living their Celtic career through the lad so it’s only fair to issue a constant river of reassurance.
It may get a bit repetitive but hopefully he’ll mix things up a bit by testing out different hats, accents, and potentially a stutter.

Everything you're saying is a view from the life you are currently living or have lived. There's a reason most of the stuff in all of our lives eventually becomes old or ordinary at some point or other. Including a bank balance or a house or a car or a career. It's part of the process. We have no idea what KTs situation is, it's all speculation. He's playing for his boyhood club and seemingly very well paid too. His priorities might change, his ambition might change with that and being a Celtic player is no longer the end of the road for him. I respect that.
Until then, I love having him here.

Don't you know there's 376 KD members who know more of what KT's thinking right now than even KT does himself (some may even know what he's going to have for breakfast tomorrow, but that would just be silly wouldn't it )

25-30m is probably what he is worth(as he is worth this, it would not be an astronomical fee if offered) . 35-40m is an astronomical fee. Cant be accepting 25m bids way too low.

Could be a tactic to flush out another pay rise.
