The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[screenexile]

The pundits agree that Tierney would cut it in any EPL team or league.

Fuckit £50m then!!!

[rodney trotter]

No harm to look for a decent fee. He has performed well in Europe with Celtic.  Celtic sold Van Dijk for 13m and 2 years later Liverpool signed him for 75m.

Dembele would be the current highest sale in Scottish football. He went for under 20m last summer to Lyon..

[Main Street]

He would be mad not to go if Arsenal or some other top club went for him.

True, ironic that Scotland has 2 fantastic left backs - probably the best 2 about, in Tierney and Robertson of Liverpool.

Do they though? One is a good left back in Scottish football and the other is genuinely world class.

As suggested previoulsy £30m for Tierney is ridiculous! I'd say £20m would be decent money for him. Also a record for Scotland!

Are you suggesting I am crazy?
20m is peanuts for a player like Tierney, he's almost Barca class!!

That ex Celt clodhopper (who Lynchbhoy doesn't even rate) VvD was sold on for 75m

I'll go out on a limb here but I would say that tierney is already a better player than robertson. People might disagree but you'll be agreeing before the season is out. If he goes for less than 40 million it's an absolute steal by arsenal. Tierney has everything robertson has but he's also stronger and better in the air.

I love Tierney but Robertson is better......just now. Tierney is younger and potentially still to hit his best. Until 18 months or so ago Robertson wasn't guaranteed first choice for Liverpool. Robertson is a much better crosser of a ball but possibly not as good defensively (not much in it).
Tierney needs to be careful where he goes for future development. Klopp has done wonders for Robertson. Anything north of £20m with add ons for Tierney would be normally acceptable but he is a good left back and they are a rare breed, so £25m plus wanted.
For those above who obviously don't follow Scottish football Celtic got £20m for Dembele last year.

[JimStynes]

Dembele went for 20m. Just 20m short of the price Celtic fans wanted for him.

Hard to know but Robertson was playing part-time football a few years ago.  Tierney is good also - £20m is a bargain.

If you said a part-time in player in Scotland would win a Champions Lge medal a few years down the line, you'd be laughed out of town.

You could pick up good Scottish players/players from Scottish league handy enough and for a bargain...if you take a risk.

Look at VVD at Southampton.  They took a risk and sold him off for big cash.  Scotland is a good testing ground for a player - rough and ready.  A good player will stand out and be ready made for the Premiership.  If they survive Scotland, they will develop elsewhere.

Dembele went for 20m. Just 20m short of the price Celtic fans wanted for him.

But the thing was....Dembele wanted to go at that point.  Celtic had the option - hold out for more and not get it or get shot or him as he would have been sulking.

They made the right decision - good business.

Tierney is different - he would stay if Celtic don't get enough.  He understands the craic!!

[JimStynes]

Dembele is a forward player! Not many teams paying big money for left backs from a lower league.

Does KT really know the craic though? He's a professional footballer. He's won 3 trebles and he's still only a young player. He would be mad in the head to turn down the money from EPL. If he gets a decent off we and Celtic accept the money then he should go. Would hate to see him go but he's achieved everything he can with Celtic currently. If Celtic have a nightmare season next year they might not even get 20m for him. Would be good to get some Arsenal players come to Celtic in the deal.

[Main Street]

Dembele went for 20m. Just 20m short of the price Celtic fans wanted for him.

Celtic fans appreciated his real value.

[Walter Cronc]

Celtic should push to get Smith Rowe or Nelson on loan as part of any deal. Both very talented prospects

[Main Street]

Turnbull transfer off again  this time for good.
Not good for Motherwell who probably will be the biggest loser at the end.

January will come around in no time. If he's 100% they'll have no trouble moving him on

[marty34]

Celtic need to start getting a few signings in asap. Qualifying rounds soon starting.

[Main Street]

 Some photos have been published of Luca Connell pitch side at CP with his parents and a small group. Maybe Lennon knows him from his time at Bolton, but he's an underage irish international and a hot prospect to boot. He would be a decent coup for Celtic but most likely not 1st team material this season.
