eff sake man. I like Tierney and all but him leaving for a decent wedge isn’t end of days stuff
We're going to be a weaker team this season and he's sending a signal that it's not that hard to leave Celtic whenever you fancy it. I think it's fair to consider whether BR will stick around for the long-term if the team is depleted further.
If Tierney/others were being sold from under his nose then perhaps it would be an issue. But by all accounts Tierney has made an abrupt decision and wants out. Dembele is still here, the transfer record has been broken this summer already, and we’ve splashed out on a long term deal for Rogic (assuming he doesn’t do a Tierney on us)

Most importantly, if true, why?
If he goes, he goes.

However, I see a young guy, lives with his folks, goes to watch his mates playing on Sunday for the local pub and I definitely have reservations about him adjusting to life away from his local environment. Even just a couple of hundred miles away.

Add to that playing for a team who are going to lose as much as they will win, and with the exception of a couple of seasons in the eighties that has always been the case in my lifetime (I'm fifty), and I see problems ahead for him.

In my view he'd be better, for his own sake, waiting a few years. A wrong move at the wrong age to the wrong club will seriously harm his career. It has happened to players much better than him, e.g. Charlie Nicholas.

Celtic's forward planning here also is far from perfect.
Wonder if his folks will move down with him for a while at first

Has tierney or anbody close to Celtic stated that he is definitely going? There seems a lot of certainty around now that he will def be away. actual gutted if that is the case, especially if it’s to a shampooty mid table team like Everton

Not really condescending. I'd just imagine it'd take more than a perennial mid table team to prise him away from a Celtic side that has just done a double treble and has a chance at 10 in a row
They appear to have ambitions to go beyond mid table and their recent spending would indicate that. Their average attendance of just under 40k is about the capacity of their (admittedly sub par) stadium. I've been to Goodison a couple of times - Everton are a big club playing in one of the most attractive leagues in Europe. The way some people are talking you'd think he was leaving for League One or something.
I get it but really? Our finest product in a generation bolts for Everton? Nah. Not having that. Lateral move in footballing terms at best.

Not a legend. A cult favourite perhaps.

Lustig, Forrest and obviously Brown are the only three in the current team who are anywhere near legend status.

Edit: assuming he does leave.
I still fully expect to win the league again, however if we aren't going to kick on and strengthen the squad now on the back of 2 years champions league money and a few big transfer fees then it's a total boot in the baws. There are no real signs of bringing in anyone exciting and if Tierney leaves I fully expect the team to be weaker than last season.

If we get upwards of £25m and spend it on a replacement LB along with 3 others then in theory our team could surely only be better for it. If however we do the usual and spend less in transfer fees than we bring in then we’re fecked.

That said let’s wait until there is some certainty around the situation before going absolutely tonto. If however the worst were to happen then the baw is burst and we’ll never be anymore than a backwater club happy to pick up the scraps off our considerably richer EPL neighbour.

The biggest concern for me is if Tierney does go what signals that sends to the other players. Why should young players from abroad want to hang about when Mr Celtic jumps at first chance to leave?

It's all a bit odd. 25m is less than we would get for making the CL. We are almost certain not to make the CL with our current defence minus Tierney.

As for Tierney - Everton is just a stop gap club for him but I think it is a poor move for him.

Absolutely gutted.

We will thrive if the money is spent on the team.
Lee Congerton with £25m in his pocket :twitch:
This worries me more than Tierney leaving.

Lustig and Forrest are nowhere near, and will never be anywhere near, legends. Cult figures aye but not a hope in hell they are near legends.

Yeah this. To my knowledge this is the first concerete offer we've had for him and the frist genuine interest and hes deciding to leave. Not to mention the fact that everton are a basket case at the moment, and if silva gets a sniff of a better job he'll be offski. If Everton are in a hint of danger of relegation they'd bring back someone like big sam, play dire football and put epl journeymen into the team.

I dont why he's jumping at the chance to go Everton, who arent going to challenge for trophies. If he does well there then he'll cost £100+ in a couple of yrs and may price the bigger teams out a move, similar to Baines. If theyve meet our value for KT why we accepting it immediately?, its early in the window we could generate a bidding war for him.

Also bit strange this is all but confirmed today considering Tierney played for us earlier.

Hull are infinitely pisher than Everton. How did that work out for Robertson?

Brown maybe.

Rogic and Dembele if they stayed for 10 and kept playing to form.

Everton are a big(ish) club. Although Silva got a huge rebuilding job after some of the money they've blown. I just imagined him staying and only going to a huge club.

This is my concern too. There are a few players who fall into this category too. Boyata has been stalling about a contract as it is and he's played really well at the World Cup. He'll be looking for more money from Celtic or anyone else who will give him it. Dembele could leave now or maybe this time next year - along with Ntcham. Signing a new deal doesn't mean much so maybe Rogic will see what's out there too.

We've lost Roberts and Armstrong already, seems we're losing Tierney, and a few more could go too. Suddenly a double treble-winning side has been gutted.

That will make things even more difficult. If he needs that he shouldn't be moving to England.

I don't blame him for wanting the wealth that the English league brings. However, he strikes me as being very comfortable in his lastcal environment. Last week the Sunday Mail had two pages on just that. Every interview KT has given he seems to mention it. Sometimes certain environments or workplaces are a natural fit. For me, at the moment, that is Celtic for KT. I really think he might struggle at a club like Everton.

It'll probably encourage decent young players to join us. Play well in a piss poor league and you'll get mega money offers from England.
