Either his agent is working his own end and trying to engineer a move for KT to get mega bucks, so KT has got rid of him.

Or the previous agent wasn't doing enough to get him a move so he's opted for another guy.

Or he just fancied a change.

If the reports of €85k a week are to be believed then who can honestly say they wouldn't do the same thing.

If he goes we have a seriously shampoo defence. He’s the only good thing about it.
apart from the 2 guys representing there countries in the last 8 of the world cup. some Celtic fans need a right dose of reality.
Well they might be missing a qualifier or two if they keep it up...
yes you are correct there, they might, but my point was about the exaggeration that our defence would be crap without KT.
in addition to that if we can't beat the Armenian team and 2nd round opponents with our squad then we don't deserve to be in the CL.

If we sell him, I'm putting my money on Celtic buying three attacking mids.

Defenders? Pah! We'll just defend from the front!
A defence of Ralston, Miller, Ajer & Simunovic going up against Rosenborg if we get past the Armenians ?

The Tierney money could well be used to plug the hole as a result of money not coming from elsewhere.
I certainly hope you're right. I'm seriously concerned about LB coverage if Kieran leaves. And RB and CB and......

Don't disagree at all mate. Just adding to the bad news :clap:

There's no doubt that Everton and clubs like them are interested, but Tierney isn't leaving for a club like that - and certainly not before 10iar.
Hope you're right.

Absolutely, I don't see any other reason to change agent a few weeks after signing a long term contract other than you want to move, if you're happy with the deal you've just signed don't want to move you don't need to change agent nor would an agent be particularly interested in taking you on.

If KT's intention was to move, then he has done us a big favour, similar to Petrov by signing that contract as it makes sure Celtic are well compensated when he does go, in that case changing agent makes complete sense.

If that were true, I don’t think he’d have been giving it all the “could be here my whole career/if six years doesn’t say commitment, I don’t know what does” patter.

Not doubting he’s potentially had his head turned. But don’t think it was planned all along. The change of agent could have been to do with image rights, and getting as much out of adidas as possible, or something else we’re not privy to.

Youth academy player gets a few years in the team then sold for big money. Is this not what we all wanted?

Image rights would almost certainly have been agreed in the contract, I'm not convinced that you would change agent to get more out of Adidas, I don't think that a new agent would see that bringing in good money for them.

My understanding is that it's Stellar Group that's his new agents and you don't have them representing you to get an improved boot contract, they're among the very best in the business and get their players great moves and deals.

Maybe his agent was partial to a chicken phall. And every time he had one he went round to tierney’s house and farted. And they were really smelly. Maybe tierney asked him 3 or 4 times not to do it but he refused and, in fact, started to close his windows before the foul deeds.

Maybe KT finally snapped and fired him?

Boot deals, clothing deals, various sponsorship stuff, salary discussions with Celtic. Loads of reasons.

I’m more of the mind he wanted a new agent and his best mate Paddy recommended Stellar, who represent him.

If they were an agency purely out to earn their clients big bucks and architect moves, we’d probably never have got Rodgers and he’d have been away by now too, seeing as they’re his agents too.
