Kieran Tierney: The Long GoodBhoy

Should have kept him and binned off Calafiore. Both have a similar injury record.

Not as simple as that.
He’s going back to his boyhood club, starts every week for them in the league and CL. Also, with the decline of Robertson, will reclaim the LB role for Scotland.
Celtic will also use him as a proper fullback, none of this inverted stuff that doesn’t suit his game.
I’d rather keep him as a LB over Calafiori.

As a Rangers fan I wish him every success at Celtic (except for Old Firm games ) he’s a genuine class act, who’s just been unfortunate with injuries here.

Am I supposed to be impressed by him tucking his shirt in or bringing a Tesco bag to work? Sorry I have higher standards.

Do you prefer Waitrose?

Do you prefer Waitrose?

Probably prefers Poundland more. Good luck KT and i wish you every success with your boyhood club unless it against Kilmarnock

Im a fan of him. A classic full-back who has been our best left back since he arrived and helped us win a trophy. I wish him all the best.

I’d get him being a cult hero if he had some sort of personality or banter like Jenkinson or Ramsdale, but this guy is boring as well as being useless.

He’s only useless in this system. He’s a proper classic fulback and will thrive again when he’s used as such.

He’s a cult hero because he’s a regular hard working lad who doesn’t care about the glamour of being a pro footballer. And that’s rare in this day and age.

If that was the case he wouldn’t be taking the easy route back to Celtic.

None of you even know this just assuming. He used a Tesco bag once? So did Lacazette no one cares.

He is going back to his boyhood club clearly for many reasons. what is clear is that you are unable to see what he has offered because you dislike him clearly.

I expect he’s going back now because it’s clear injuries are an issue and that he’s realised he’s probably not going to have a very long career. It’s not about his ability, which is excellent.

The Long Goodbye is a great film tbf

Main reason being that he’s just not that good and Celtic is his level.

If he was excellent he wouldn’t have ended up like 8th choice in his own position regardless of how Arteta plays.

Didn’t realise til I watched it again recently that Arnie’s in it. Doesn’t speak though.

No way! I’m due an Altman rewatch so will keep an eye out

If you said you didn't like him because you thought the whole working class Tesco bags stuff was nonsense then I'd take that opinion. But Tierney was one of our key players in the early Arteta years. He helped Arteta win his only major piece of silverware and was for a long time our most creative player and near nailed on to be made captain. Unfortunately a major injury coincided with us going on a run of games that saw us miss out on CL qualification. At the time an equivalent to Saliba being injured and us missing out on the league. Unlike Saliba, Tierney had a terrible injury record and Arteta decided to move on.

His injury record derailed his Arsenal career, not his talent or ability or personality - which oddly are the reasons his Arsenal career was extended and he saw as many minutes as he did this season. It's pure revisionism to say when he played he was useless.

Saying he was one of our key players in some of the most awful years as an Arsenal fan isn’t impressive. We were finishing 8th and 5th back then wasn’t until we dropped him for Zinchenko that we became a title challenging team.

He’s a one dimensional kick and run fullback, you can’t tell me he’s as skilled as Lewis-Skelly for example.

You’re not gonna convince me a guy going back to Celtic in his prime is some quality player, he’s average at best. You guys like him for nonsense reasons and you know this.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Injuries aside, most people judge players on how they play and their cost. Tierney on a £100k a week, same as Tomi. He always delivers a quality left back performance. And has been left out of the team for a long time without complaining. Not surprising the fans like him.

Havertz is on nearly 3 times that and he definitely doesn’t play like our most highly paid player. As a main striker he’s scored 9 goals and missed many howlers. At times he looks awkward on the ball too.

I hope he comes good.

When Tierney was playing for us regularly we were a team finishing 5-8th once we dropped him became a title challenging side.

He’s never actually been good for Arsenal just gets the ‘right type of lad’ tax like Ramsdale and Rice. I could go deeper into this but AM isn’t ready for this.

Havertz on the other hand got us to the highest points tally since the invincibles being our top scorer in his first season. Don’t really care about their wages tbh.

Those two players certainly coincided with those finishing positions bro, you’re right. But I don’t think they’re the cause. Tierney has always played well when I’ve seen him. He was superb in the FA Cup final, Arteta’s only trophy. He’s just a very good standard full back but that’s not what Arteta wants. He’s into multi positional players instead of specialists.
