✍️ OFFICIAL Kieran Tierney (Out)

[db10_therza]

so travelling defenders are White, Tomi, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior and Zinchenko? I mean technically it’s definitely enough you don’t want 3 defenders on your bench ideally.

Could still end up with 3 on the bench if we play Partey at rb again…

If KT isn’t close to leaving then Mikel is surely doing all he can to make him go.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Remember where you heard it first; loan deal to Everton.

[El Duderino]

Any of you been to Tescos lately?

Beginning to think Tierney is full time there and today's shift got in the way of him making the bench.

Keep. Offers much more than Tomi at LB.

But if he's not ever going to play then he needs to push to get out

KT must have really said something to Arteta to get banished from the team.
You will never convince me that Tomi is a better LB than Tierney.

Our LB needs to be able to play lots of intricate passes and it isn't Tierney's game. Tomi is better on the ball.

 

[Tnegs]

Him not fitting Artetas system doesn’t change the fact that he is a very good left back. Deserves regular game time I hope he gets a move soon if we’re not using him.

I thought he should have played last night he is much quicker at getting down the line and he is not too bad at cutting with the ball, I think he would have been a better fit than Tomi, Tomi was a bit unlucky with the sending off last night I didn't see anything that was really that bad to pick up two yellows.

Got to agree 100%. KT in my opinion will never fit the inverted role we need but Tomi is nowhere near that either, both decent in defence but Tomi offers us nothing going forward.

Yes but Tomi is solid enough defensively & quite importantly offers height.

You don't really want him or KT bombing forward if you have TP going into CM from RB.
We would be way too exposed at the back.

 

[King87]

If Arteta doesn't like a player then he's totally banished, Raya has as much chance as Tierney to start in that LB position right now

 

[bingobob]

Horrible way to treat a player who has done absolutely nothing wrong.

 

[Macho]

Nah Arteta what's he possibly done to you blud surely think this through

Horrible way to treat a player who has done absolutely nothing wrong.

I don't think it's to be taken as an insult to be honest. Might seem harsh but one of the Arsenal journos (think it was Watts) mentioned there's so many players in the first team squad that players have had to stand by and watch during certain team drills.

If those players are all on their way out the door there's no point them being around the squad at the minute. Tierney would obviously be back with the main squad if a move doesn't materialise.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Ruthless but I was okay with it when it was happening to players i didn't care much for so can't complain now.

I guess at least KT knows where he stands. Kind of crazy that in Arteta's first 12 months or so KT was a consistent top 2-3 performer for us

Still rate him highly as a player and character. Hopefully he gets a decent move.

 

[Paperino]

Yet another player that Teta want to get rid of after extending his contract just 2 years ago.

That's not really a problem is it? We as a fanbase used to whine constantly about players contracts running down. You cant have it both ways.

Its a problem now.
