Dunno, but wanting Celtic players to leave to 'test themselves' is a bit odd.

So you've never seen an ex-Celtic player go on and do well somewhere else and felt a wee bit of joy for that player?
In terms of enjoyment, I’d take Celtic winning a throw in over any ex player winning a trophy for another team.

So would I, but it wasn't the question. Celtic will continue winning here with or without KT.

He's still a Celtic player, why would you want to weaken Celtic to experience "a wee bit of joy" in 5 years time

Eh, no. I'd probably wish they were still playing for Celtic and that's about the size of it.

I don't need Henrik Larsson to do well for Barcelona to justify raving about the player.

But from McStay to Larsson, you still get Celtic fans wishing they'd left/left earlier so they could see them at this high level.

Don't wish players any harm but when they move on from Celtic, my interest in them falls off a cliff.

I don't think he will go but if we don't get into the CL and the money some people are talking about,
has been offered then i think the board will have a different opinion to me.
25-30 million for a young defender still learning his trade is too good a deal for both parties to ignore.
Just hope we qualify for the CL.

To be honest, when I see guys like Van Dijk playing in a Champions League Final for a club 200 miles down the road with a smaller average attendance than we do, I just feel resentful that geography has screwed us!

I'm referring to the people who say they have absolutely zero interest in how a player does once they leave Celtic; if it's that black and white for them then cool, it's not for me.

No, you want him to test himself at a higher level now though. ( before returning on a bosman) right?

Weird as eff.

I am not making issue with you keeping an eye on players and taking joy in them doing well.

I am puzzled that you would happily see Celtic weakened significantly to do so.

If kieran Tierney turns down 85k a week to play football somebody needs to have a strong word with him let's be honest. There isn't 1 person in the world who isn't going to a new job for 4 times their current salary.

If he can get it fair play, hope he goes and enjoys himself and when he's 36 comes and buys a season ticket and joins the rest of us in the stands.

This kind of pish talk needs to stop.
He can move for money any time.
Career ending injuries are rare these days and the people advocating moving in case of it are the ultimate Celtic Da's tbh

If he goes, he goes. Ill certainly think alot less of him no denying it, but its up to him and i doubt he gives one eff what i think of him either
As for turning down £85k a week... The perspective is if youre earning £25/30k playing for the team you love, would you? I wouldn't, not yet anyway
everyday of the week i would be offski for that money

Its mental to read Celtic fans giving it "hope he goes and enjoys it" about one of our best players.

He's only been in our first team 3 seasons, WTF is wrong with people.
of course i dont hope he goes - but if he does go then good luck to him and i hope he goes and enjoys it.

How much money in wages is 4 £7m players costing us?

We got from having 1 player on a decent wage to 4 players who will probably each want more than what that 1 player is on. Over 4 year deals, that's a lot of money.

Nine times out of ten I'd rather keep the star player when they leave...the better they perform once players depart the more opportunities it hands us to maximise future transfers...other than that I do like to see former Celts who have done us a turn enjoy success but it's not exactly an overwhelming sensation, I'd rather they stay as long as is possible, once they are gone there's no part of me that follows them as a super fan.

But if two of those £7 million players become worth double or treble that, think of the profits to be made. That is the Porto and Benfica model of buying high and selling even higher.

We won't sign another left back of Tierney's quality, so aye we would be weakened.

Hypothetical.

KT goes for £30m, up front. That's 4x players at £7m each, at the level of say Eduaord, Ntcham, with £2m used on wages. Assuming absolutely no increase on the £30m fee in bonuses, etc, as well as having KT's wage to spend, that's just breaking even. I'd be surprised if we didn't have plenty of scope to spend another £10m of our current budget on wages for these four hypothetical players.

Edited for maths.

Not if we upgraded our keeper, RB, and at least one CB; no, we wouldn't.

I can absolutely guarantee I'd be quite satisfied with my life if I was on 2m a year, its an effin obscene amount of money.

Can we please put the short careers mince to bed, its no the 60's in the old First Division. Tierney, like most modern top level footballers will get a comfortable gig as a pundit/columnist/non playing staff member/speaker when he retires from playing.
I can also guarantee that I'd be absolutely satisfied with £2m a year. Until someone else offered me £5m a year.

It's no really pish. What percentage of professional football players earn the same money as pundits/coaches etc that they did as players?

Fitba players are almost constantly moving clubs to get more money, even though the money they're already earning is "effing obscene". What makes you think Tierney should/would be any different? Please don't say it's cos he loves Celtic.

Why is Scott Brown still at Celtic?
