Few things about this for me.
If he does go, gutted to see him go. Possibly too soon for him in my view and surprised that it seems to be the first opportunity to leave has been taken. Not convinced Everton is the right move either.
As other posters have said that will be 3 of our first choice defenders not in the team for UCL qualifying. Ridiculous planning from Celtic. Also, his ultimate fan in a jersey routine seems a bit contrived now as well. If the cash quoted is accurate, can understand it, but with 10 IAR on the horizon, I would've thought that he, of all people would've stayed for that.

I don't give two effs where he goes or how he plays. If we are punting KT I want 4/5 good first team players in el pronto . I want every effing bit of that 30/40m quid we've made this summer/jan spent on players . We'll still have our precious 30m in the bank and it'll give us a chance of making more.

I'll be effed if I'm going to see Jack Hendry and Ralston hanging on to some European winger like drunk guys getting off a bus. Or Johnny Hayes trying to kick it by Jordi Alba .

No effing sir.
I think we all know how it works by now. We’ve failed miserably to improve our defence in the last 3 windows so there’s no hope for bringing in quality any time soon. Building or strengthening our team is simply not on our agenda that has been made clear time & time again window after window. We’re more interested in building an hotel than a team. We buy young in the hope of selling for a profit ASAP. We start our most important matches of the season next Tuesday 4 or 5 key players short of the squad we had for the cup final. While we the fans had hoped for quality being brought in to really strengthen our side for Europe the club are hoping for good offers for Tierney,Boyata & Dembele. That’s what would constitute a great window for them. Frankly does it really matter if we qualify for the CL this time? Most of the money from the last 2 campaigns has been banked along with the VVD bonus so it’s not as if the team would be strengthened if we did qualify.

We won't be playing against Jordi Alba unless we reinvest massively. Particularly in defence.

I'd be far more pissed off at the club for accepting the 1st offer and 2 for leaving us in the absolute shampoo for the biggest games of our season. Rodgers should know better as well.

If it happens this isn’t the manager’s fault, not one bit.

It is for not bringing in cover at left back when we have needed it for 18 months. He is in charge of transfers we are led to believe unless your saying he doesn't decide who we sign and what positions they are for?

If it’s true, I also think KT will be told that the bid is accepted and to go.

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.

James Forrest? :loel:

whats he going to do if he ever has to play against us ?
If he scores and doesn’t celebrate I’ll hate him even more than I do now, but I’ll hate him even more than that if he does celebrate.

There's something not right about this. If he was agreeing a deal with Everton why was he playing a meaningless friendly for Celtic?

All noises point to him leaving just now but I feel like it's being pushed forward a bit by speculation.

Occasional Substitute

I'm still not convinced this will happen, and think it's likely that he'll still be here next season. But if the figures are correct, that salary is ludicrous for a player of Tierney's ability. He's good, but he's not that good. Our loss would be greater because he's one of our own etc. but Everton would be paying a salary massively over the odds for him.

James Forrest is a perfect case in point as to why KT should not give two flying effs what any of his former fanclub thinks. There was a significant, vocal section of the Celtic support who were hounding James Forrest out of the club. I remember Gerry Creaney - another Celtic boy who came through the ranks - getting absolutely slaughterered by his own fans. If this loyalty thing was a two way street and coming through the ranks as a suppporter afforded you some kind of protection then I could understand the ire. But it doesn't. Half a dozen bad games and he'd be told to GTF. Tierney owes us zero.

Probably the last thing people want to think about but if it does happen what is the chances of the club replacing shirts? My wee lad has the new home kit with KT on the back on the away one ordered. He'll be gutted and I am not sure I can afford to replace two

Juggling the maximising your profits and building a team is a serious issue at CP.

If we kept Forster, VvD, Vic and the likes we might be able to compete at CL level.

Vicious circle I'm afraid.
Look how Ajax have faired doing the same. :(
Weren't Ajax in a European final a couple of seasons ago
