Kieran Tierney: Top Tier

[RunTheTrap]

I thought he was a bit poor last night. Got ripped a few times by the Wolves wingers. Needs a serious kick up the backside cos I’m starting to see teams attack us on the left hand side more often.

Arsenal facing Kieran Tierney battle with Real Madrid paying attention

KIERAN TIERNEY has reportedly emerged as a target for Real Madrid.

...can't wait for Madrid's "El Sauce-o Squad-o", to be waving their white handkerchiefs when Kieran rocks up to Real, with his Tesco bag.

Congrats to our new Club Captain (If Laca goes in the summer). Good game.

Also, as I mentioned in the Xhaka thread, you better ****ing break that curse or I'll get violent
(on that armband).

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I think if he become captain it'll be obvious choice shouldn't be given to best player Liverpool captain is Jordan Henderson but he top leader and all Liverpool players respect him and not challenge him. Tierney is still young but with big experience and he have this British players old school leadership.

…But he’ll be at Real Madrid?

 

[MartiSaka]

Can't believe Madrid are interested in him at the moment.To me what he is shown is that he is a bit too limited for the likes of Madrid

 

[avenellroad]

He’s a guy made for football on these shores. As such he should be our next club captain too.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Now he's back to being a week in week out starter he's the clear choice of captain for next season.

It's not about being the best player in the side it's about having the right mentality, having some leadership qualities and being respected by your team mates and manager.

I think KT ticks all those boxes.

Real can do one too unless they want to pay silly money for a LB. £60m+.

Don't understand why they aren't interested in Tavares as his 2 good games showed he's the better player anyway

 

[GoonerJeeves]

£22.5m - a bargain.

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Captain? Not for me, Clive.

Does he have the right mentality or leadership qualities? To me, he comes across as a quite figure, both on and off the pitch.

Not only that, but his performances haven't really merited the (C). He's been very inconsistent this season. Probably the weakest of the back 4.

Well he was captain at Celtic for a longtime, in Europe as well. He’s also been captain for Scotland in the past, so it’s not just Arteta who thinks he does have the right mentality or leadership qualities.

I just dont like his attitude on kicking the ball out of play instead of trying to use technique and guile to keep the ball in play. He has nothing on Nacho Monreal...levels below.

Unfortunately, technique can not be taught and we need to adjust our play on left side to play on his strengths...not weakneasses

 

[Oxeki]

He's the logical choice tbh. Not the one I necessarily agree with, mind. He's very disciplined. He buys into what Arteta wants. He's vocal. But I'm not a fan of full backs being captains tbh.

 

[Taneruit]

I'll say it again. Nobody should care who our Captain is. At the moment we have multiple individual players leading on the pitch like Ramsdale, Xhaka. Tierney and Odeegard. So, that side's covered anyway and better than it has been in years.

The Captain's Armband just needs to be on a starter that's drama free. I'd rather have it on Ramsdale for that reason, but your mileage may vary.

I've truly had it after Auba. It's been exhausting for more than a decade and I can't fathom why some fans seem to crave this insanity.

 

[AberGooner]

Still don't think we have all that much viable captaincy choices for next season. Wouldn't be gutted with Tierney as he clearly loves playing for us but I'd say Gabriel looks the biggest stand out. I think he's our leader on the pitch.

The captaincy role is traditionally a bigger thing in the UK than most of Europe.

We don't just give it to the guy with the most amount of appearances or whoever's drama free. It's why the Xhaka armband stuff was a big deal.

 

[Riou]

Love Tierney.

But the thought of him playing for Real Madrid, does make me laugh

Wouldn't mind him as captain, but see him more as a vice captain, kinda guy...would have the likes of Ramsdale or Gabriel ahead of him though.

An outside bet for me, is Ødegaard...carries himself very well, and is the heartbeat of our team in attack.

 

[Pop Tart]

Him and ramsdale are the only captain candidates for me, Gabriel is too hot headed and needs to calm down first.

Yeah, Ramsdale is definitely not a hot headed character
